Last Thursday (24), Representative Alencar Santana (PT) presented the report on the program’s bill. He stated that the content follows the initial idea, with some minor modifications. Santana also announced that the next stage of the project will begin in September, focusing on a specific income group.
“Desenrola” unfolds in two stages, each aimed at different salary ranges. In this initial phase, it is intended for people earning between R$ 2,640 and R$ 20,000 who have debts with banks. Agreements are made directly with the banks involved, establishing a clear and open channel between debtor and creditor.
The subsequent stage, scheduled for September, focuses on individuals with an income of up to two minimum wages or registered with the Cadastro Único. For this audience, the program allows the renegotiation of debts of up to R$ 5,000 through a digital platform created by the government.
One particular feature of “Desenrola” is the requirement for banks to cancel debt below R$ 100 owed by debtors. However, these debtors must settle these amounts later. This action aims to offer immediate relief to those facing financial challenges.
Details about the program
The project, in addition to addressing debt, also tackles one of the main causes of debt: credit card interest. Congressman Alencar Santana mentioned that the Provisional Measure linked to “Desenrola” sets a 100% cap on credit card interest, unless banks present an alternative within 90 days.
This action responds to the current interest rate, which already exceeds 400%. This phenomenon has made revolving credit one of the most expensive forms of credit available.
“Desenrola” emerges as a relief amid Brazil’s growing indebtedness, proposing ways to facilitate renegotiation and regulate banking practices that lead to default.
This project will have a profound impact on the financial lives of millions, while also bringing new challenges for banks. The next phase, which begins in September, raises great expectations, as it will determine the success of the proposals. Therefore, it is essential that the population stays well informed and attentive to the opportunities brought by this innovative policy.

Unfortunately, “Desenrola Brasil” has been used for illegal practices, also involving Nubank. These fraud schemes are exploiting the association between the two entities, harming many customers. Fraudsters use this relationship to deceive victims.
In these schemes, scammers contact customers, promising to settle debts for a much lower amount. This attracts the attention of many people.

As they proceed, customers try, for example, to pay a debt of R$ 5,000 for R$ 1,000, and so on. In the end, they are deceived. It is worth noting that Nubank does not make these types of contacts; they are actually actions carried out by fraudsters.
For some time now, the program has faced fraudulent attacks. In response, Nubank took action to alert its customers about the risks and provide prevention tips. Customer caution and awareness are crucial to protecting themselves against such fraud.
