Por Magdalena Flores. 16 de Julio. Tomado de Contra Punto.
La Defensoría del Consumidor alertó a la población a no dejarse engañar y a estar pendientes de las cláusulas de los contratos de los servicios adquiridos.
SAN SALVADOR – Empresas dedicadas a vender paquetes vacacionales en El Salvador se han valido de tácticas engañosas para lograr su fin, por lo cual la Defensoría del Consumidor (DC) las ha sancionado. La multa total asciende a $19 mil.
Son cinco empresas del sector turismo las que han sido multadas por ofrecer sus servicios vacacionales utilizando tácticas y maniobras indebidas.
“Hemos detectado que hay empresas que en el desarrollo de sus prácticas de mercadeo han estado utilizando maniobras y algunas técnicas que al final llegan a afectar los derechos de las y los consumidores”, dijo el presidente de la DC, Armando Flores.
El Tribunal Sancionador de la DC multó con $7.000 por ofrecer paquetes vacacionales mal intencionados a Servicios de Mercadeo Internacional (Sermerint). Esta empresa ya había sido multada en mayo del 2006, también por incluir cláusulas abusivas en los contratos de afiliación de membresía con los compradores de sus paquetes promocionales.
También sancionó a Viajes Euromundo con $2.500; El Hotel Bahía del Sol con $1.800; mientras que Bahía Los Sueños fue sancionada con $5.500; y finalmente My Dream con $3.000.
De acuerdo a Flores, dichas empresas han sido multadas por realizar cargos en concepto de cuotas, sin autorización del consumidor; cobrar membresías ya canceladas y por poner cláusulas abusivas en los contratos.
Estas empresas se han valido de agresivas estrategias y técnicas emocionales de mercadeo para atraer clientes que están bien calificados en el sistema financiero y que poseen tarjetas de crédito, señaló Flores.
“En la medida en que las empresas identifican a consumidores con más poder adquisitivo, consumidores con un buen récord crediticio, con tarjetas de crédito, algunas empresas han ido afinando sus estrategias de mercadeo para a traer esa clientela”, dijo Flores.
De acuerdo a la DC las empresas multadas deberán de pagar el dinero en 10 días máximo; pero si no lo hacen en ese lapso la DC remite y notifica a la fiscalía para que esta proceda al cobro obligatorio.
Empresas inescrupulosas
Flores hizo un llamado a la población para que los consumidores no se dejen engañar por estas compañías, sobre todo ahora que se acercan las vacaciones de agosto.
“Sabiendo que viene la época de la temporada vacacional queremos alertar a la población para evitar problemas en la contratación de paquetes vacacionales”, recalcó.
También recomendó que cuando una empresa ofrezca paquetes vacacionales se debe leer detenidamente las condiciones de los contratos, y si no se entiende alguna oferta, las personas pueden pedir explicación. Además dijo que es importante solicitar por escrito cualquier ofrecimiento.
Asimismo Flores invitó a los consumidores a no dejarse presionar ni directa ni indirectamente para firmar contratos.
“Hemos detectado que algunas de estas empresas han usado una técnica que es invitar a los consumidores a un hotel, les ofrecen un almuerzo o una cena, les piden la tarjeta de crédito supuestamente sólo para confirmar la calidad y la capacidad crediticia del consumidor, y en algunos casos el representante de la empresa ha vuelto al salón con el voucher –factura- ya cobrado por la operación”, señaló el funcionario.
“En esos casos el consumidor por pena o por dejarse llevar por la ilusión ha firmado contratos sin haber dado su consentimiento expreso y plenamente”, dijo Flores.
De acuerdo a la DC el 79% de las denuncias que reciben del sector turismo tienen que ver con paquetes vacacionales
En el 2009 la Defensoría recibió 210 denuncias por paquetes vacacionales y en lo que va del 2010, ya registran 73 denuncias.
“Independientemente que las denuncias sean una o cien, la Defensoría del Consumidor siempre va actuar cuidando a los consumidores frente a prácticas empresariales abusivas”, recalcó Flores.
La Defensoría del Consumidor también ha multado a compañías de otros sectores, como bienes raíces, supermercados, bancos, telefónicas o incluso líneas aéreas.
En julio del 2009, la DC multó por publicidad engañosa a compañías del calibre de Taca, Grupo Roble, Banco Scotiabank, Digicel, Telefónica Móviles, Operadora del Sur (Hiper Paiz Las Cascadas) y Tiendas Max de El Salvador, entre otras. La multa alcanzó los $128,771 dólares.
Y en mayo del 2010, el Tribunal Sancionador de la DC impuso multas por $1.2 millones, durante el primer año de gestión de la nueva administración que llegó con el arribo del gobierno de Mauricio Funes, el 1 de junio del 2009.
En ese periodo, la institución recuperó, para los consumidores, unos $7.6 millones de dólares, dinero que había sido cobrado irregularmente o en base a triquiñuelas.
