Cuidado com o BPI

BPI Nunca Mais!

Take care of BPI bank

(If you vomit easily takes the necessary precautions before reading what is proceeded!)

The facts:
A customer of BPI bank (in Portugal) contracted a loan for part of the purchase of a house, and one more other loan for part of the works of its reconstruction, (total 100.000 €).
The money for the works was insufficient and the customer requested a reinforcement of 7.500 €. The bank proceeded to the revaluation of the property and the whole process elapsed normally. However it would not come to grant the reinforcement because BPI considered that the customer's balance, almost always "walked in the red". (With reconstruction works to elapse and already tends expense all of the savings, such reinforcement would serve obviously to hinder that situation).
The solution proposed by the bank was a 60 days loan of 7.500 €.
Of course in the end the customer didn't get the necessary money for the successive reforms of that third loan, given to the normal instalments of the first 2 loans to go liquidating...

The consequences:
The loan of 7.500 €; was protested by the bank. The customer (that continued to pay the instalments of the initial loans regularly) requested to the administration of the bank the payment of the third loan in accessible instalments. The bank was always refusing.
For his own initiative the customer started to deposit monthly about 200 supplemental € in form to lessen the debt of the third loan.
The bank considered insufficient the customer's effort and established a lawsuit, not to receive the value of the last loan in debt but... (Manipulating the text of the process) the total of all loans; obtaining, this way, the whole property (in the value of more than 200.000 €) due to a debt about 6.000 €!

Analysis:
To BPI bank it only interests the appetising easy profit; to acquire the whole property of the customer together with the savings that he is burying there. When the customer commits any lapse, (for which BPI is going giving, whenever it can, a little help...) it uses of all of the legal tricks, to accomplishing easy money.
BPI treats the customers that it lures, with the resource to fabulous expenses in publicity, as victims of his politics of the "profit at any price."
BPI doesn't work with their customers but against their customers. He sees in each one of them a potential source of easy profit.
He prepares in the shadow the lawsuits that not seek the payment of the debt but the withholding of the whole property. Doesn't tend any shame in lying in the allegations that it presents in court. In concealing information on the customer's bill. In appealing to artifices as low as to pilfer stubs of due deposits (the customer can prove to deposit).

Conclusion:
The bank activity should be governed by perfectly defined parameters : the extent of his performance is not able to in way some being noxious or harmful to the individual, this way it puts in cause the collective and the society. When the legislator provided the means to recover the granted loans, he was not certainly thinking in the possibility of obtaining easy profit through less transparent processes.
And not even it is in cause the juridical validity of the action that BPI interposed against his customer. Certainly that their employees will know each comma of all the laws. It is morals, respect for the individuals, of non-ethically procedures. Of wild capitalism in his more common expression.
BPI is accumulating fabulous profits sucking the individuals that fall in their traps.
BPI is a social parasite.
Each individual, separately, can do nothing against this monster, but all together we can - and we owed - to give them a lesson:
Let us avoid any contact. Let us refuse their services.
BPI is in the market just to serve them.

If you feels that BPI is not anything of that, visit the following pages:

BPI was condemned by the Civil Court of Porto by including abusiv terms in their credit cards.

In the same height in that he announced the millionaire profits of the first six months of 2001, the Banco BPI unchained a wave of individual "invitations", to obtain rescission agreements about 200 women, that assure the service of cleaning in counters of Lisbon, Porto and places of the whole Country, including Azores and Madeira.

BPI never again!
