In recent times, Banco do Brasil (BB) found itself in a complicated situation. A failure acknowledged by the bank itself gave rise to a financial opportunity for many Brazilians.
The Superior Court of Justice (STJ) identified inconsistencies in Pasep payments. Therefore, this payment did not reach public servants hired before 1988. Thus, they can now claim these amounts.
According to the reports, the Bank of Brazil, responsible for managing Pasep, failed to distribute the amounts correctly to these public servants. The STJ ruled on a specific case involving two lawyers, and this ruling opened the door for other public servants to seek their rights.
Jorge Rodrigues, a renowned lawyer, commented on the case:
“Public servants should seek their rights by filing a Declaratory/Condemnatory Action against Banco do Brasil. This is because the STJ recognized failures in the service provided by the bank.”
How to receive the amount owed by Banco do Brasil?
The first step to filing a claim is to determine whether the person falls into the category of public servant, whether federal, state or municipal. Once this has been confirmed, individuals should therefore check their Pasep statements.
This is where the complexity comes in. Because, given the length of the benefit period, which spans more than 35 years, calculations to determine possible payment errors can be challenging. Therefore, affected clients should seek a specialized lawyer for an accurate analysis.
After the assessment, the lawyer can initiate the claim for compensation for moral and material damages and proceed with the action to recover the amount owed.
How to proceed with BB?
Those seeking justice can request from Banco do Brasil the complete documentation of their Pasep statements. With these documents in hand, the person should proceed with the legal proceedings, always under the guidance of their lawyer.
In conclusion, after evaluating the statements and the progress of the legal claims, the responsibility for determining the payment of the amounts owed lies with the judicial system. Therefore, public servants can now claim what is rightfully theirs due to BB's failure.
