The National Institute for Consumer Protection (ProConsumidor) says it is beginning a legal process against freight forwarding company Caripack and finance company Avanex. The two companies are involved in a legal battle that has impeded hundreds of Caripack clients from receiving the articles they purchased over the Internet.
ProConsumidor set a hearing for 25 October 2017, and warned Caripack that it has the obligation to deliver the transported articles to their rightful owners. ProConsumidor stated that the on-going judicial process does not trump the rights of customers who trusted the courier service to transport merchandise from overseas.
In the press release, ProConsumidor maintained that Avanex can only embargo assets that belong to the debtor and not to third parties.
