Sorocaba consumer rights and utility service response

Overview

Procon Sorocaba initiated a mobile service program to provide consumer rights assistance and debt renegotiation services across various neighborhoods in Sorocaba. This itinerant unit, supported by the Support Program for the Overindebted (PAS), aimed to help citizens resolve disputes and seek financial guidance.

Following a surge in complaints regarding electricity billing irregularities, the municipal administration expanded the use of the ‘Procon Móvel’ unit, specifically deploying it near the CPFL Energia agency in Vila Haro. Since the start of 2026, Procon Sorocaba has recorded approximately 200 complaints related to CPFL. In response, Mayor Rodrigo Manga requested a 48-hour suspension of power disconnections for customers reporting atypical consumption or service interruptions and suggested pausing the replacement of electricity meters until investigations are completed.
