According to a survey by Serasa Experian, residents of the state owe about R $33 billion in debts, with credit cards being the main villain in this alarming scenario. Across the country, 70 million Brazilians are in debt, while the total debt exceeds R $300 billion – record numbers.

Indebtedness mainly affects people between the ages of 26 and 40. As a way to alleviate this dramatic situation, Serasa Experian is holding a Clean Name Fair until March 31. More than 400 companies are already registered and offering incredible discounts – up to 99% – to renegotiate debts, in addition to installments of up to 72 times. 

The official channels for negotiation are the website, the app, and the WhatsApp of Serasa Experian, along with partnerships with the Post Office agencies. Therefore, it is time for Brazilians to unite to face this financial crisis that plagues our country and seek quick and fair solutions to clear their names and recover their financial security.

70 Million Brazilians Are In Debt

According to a study by Serasa Experian, released this Monday (27), the number of indebted Brazilians has increased considerably in the last five years, rising from 59.3 million to 70.1 million. However, the average debt amount has risen to R $4,612.30.

People aged 60 or older experienced a 17% increase in the number of indebted individuals compared to other age groups, while women saw an increase of 18%. Financial debts jumped by 71%, showing that this is a common debt among Brazilians.

To try to alleviate this situation, the federal government announced that it will create a program to meet the needs of these indebted Brazilians. Thus, Serasa will hold an extraordinary edition of the Clean Name Fair where consumers can renegotiate their debts with banks, financial institutions, and telecom companies, and even settle their debts with a 99% discount or for up to R $100. 

Interested parties can already negotiate through the website www.serasa.com.br, the Serasa app on Google Play and the App Store, 0800 591 1222 (toll-free call), or WhatsApp 11 99575–2096, as well as in-person service at Post Office agencies for a fee of R$3.60.
