00:00:00 - 00:00:00

In the YouTube video "QUEIXAS de CONSUMIDORES crescem em São Paulo," it is reported that consumer complaints against businesses and services in São Paulo have surged by almost 50% based on the São Paulo Justice Annual Report. A case in point is that of a beauty salon owner named Inesita, who experienced numerous cancellations from clients due to power outages, even after the service was restored, leading to substantial financial losses. The video reveals that over one million new cases of judicial actions related to consumer rights were recorded in São Paulo in 2023, with banks, energy and water companies, telecommunications firms, insurers, and healthcare plans being the primary targets. Consumers are demanding compensation for both material and moral damages, and the inadequacy of customer service channels to resolve issues is a significant concern. The lawyer proposes the Tribunal of Small Claims as the most convenient option for consumers, who can file a claim without legal representation and undergo a triage process. However, it's crucial for consumers to be patient as the indemnifications and penalties imposed by Brazilian authorities may be minimal. Despite the obstacles, some consumers persist in taking legal action due to a sense of civic responsibility and justice. Inesita reported that power had been restored for most affected clients in the Santa Cecília and República regions of São Paulo.
