Frequently asked questions
What counts as a wrongful charge?
Any amount charged without agreement, in duplicate, above what was agreed, or after service cancellation. The CDC (Brazilian Consumer Protection Code) protects you in these situations.
Am I entitled to receive twice what I paid?
As a rule, yes: art. 42, sole paragraph, of the CDC provides for double reimbursement of amounts paid wrongly, with monetary correction and interest, unless the company made a justifiable mistake.
How long do I have to complain?
The general period to request reimbursement is up to 5 years, but the sooner you act, the easier it is to gather evidence and solve the problem.
Should I pay the bill while disputing it?
Consider this carefully: nonpayment may lead to a negative credit listing. One alternative is to pay and then request reimbursement, keeping all receipts.
