In Polotsk no one may protect consumers

Polotsk regional executive committee since February 2014 does not register the NGO "Society for the Protection of consumers." Last time the refusal to register was settling bad sanitary condition of the leased premises. The former premises of society were selected PMC Utilities Polotsk for artificially created debt payment for rent.

Residents are now looking for friends Polotsk lawyers to protect their rights buyers. But in a city like mushrooms grow construction of new supermarkets. Maybe it's a conspiracy of trade organizations?

Problems with buyers began after changes in legislation, which resulted in a society of consumer protection (PCR) remained without government support. Polotsk branch AWP for the year turned over a hundred customers for protection from unscrupulous manufacturers and traders. Lawyers Society often worked for free, helping customers to submit their interest in writing claims courts and telephone consultation. But the introduction of paid rent became unaffordable for the defenders of consumers.

Earlier Polotsk AWP shared the rent with the Communist Party, then rented independently. Due to problems with debt collection rights violators buyers in society formed the rent payable to the PMC utilities. Further payments for communal services rental counts as a penalty for late payment.

To somehow solve the problem of rent society offers HCS change the contract and make joint tenancy with another organization, but the utility does not agree. In February 2013 AWP evicted from the premises through the courts. Incidentally, this is the room for 8 months even if not profitable housing, which means disposal mismanagement of state, national property.

Republican Consumer Protection Society decided in February to eliminate Polotsk branch of the debt and at the same time to create and register a new one. Was rented a small room with a small rental fee and apply for registration. But Polotsk regional executive committee refused to register the AWP, referring to the poor sanitary conditions of the leased premises.

However Polotsk consumer advocates do not give up. October 1, they again filed in the local authority for registration of society. Answer is no.
