The ‘Stop Scrubbing’ initiative, which seeks to protect the right to privacy of financial consumers against telephone calls, is one step away from becoming a law of the Republic.

The project that seeks to protect the privacy of financial consumers, who frequently and during non-working hours must endure calls from banks, cell phone companies, cooperatives and public service companies, is in a debate about becoming a law of the Republic. .
The representative to the Chamber, Juan Carlos Wills, explained that the project intends to control “those annoying calls” of the entities supervised by the financial superintendency. “These communications may only be made during business hours, that is, they may do so during the week, during business hours and on Saturdays until noon”stressed the congressman.
The project proposes that financial consumers can only be contacted twice a week and in the same way through only two channels.
“That is to say that if a person is sent a text message and they call them, they already meet the second contact, it is not that they can be calling twice by cell phone, twice by text message and another by mail, no,” Wills pointed out.
The congressman trusted that the ‘Stop Scrubbing’ project will be approved in the last debate in June.
