Justice blocked 50 million 123 Miles, the Minas Gerais court filed the action that brought about this blockage. The travel agency has already warned that it will appeal.
Thousands of people saw their family vacation dreams crumble overnight. Dreams postponed, various losses, and many lawsuits taking place.
Brazil found itself in the midst of many sad stories due to this irresponsible attitude by the travel agency 123Milhas. They sold travel packages for a promotional price, but then were unable to maintain them.
Now thousands of Brazilians are filing lawsuits, joining lawsuits, telling their stories on TV shows, doing everything to recover their losses.
Given this situation, the Minas Gerais court ordered the blocking of 50 million reais from the accounts of the owners of 123Milhas. Therefore, the partners, Ramiro Júlio Soares Madureira and Augusto Júlia Soares Madureira, will appeal.
What was the problem with 123Milhas?
Firstly, 123Milhas was an important travel agency in Brazil, with thousands of tickets and packages sold.
However, the agency decided at the last minute to cancel the issuance of tickets for the promotional package. This way, all the people who purchased tickets in this package would not be able to issue tickets to travel.
This action was initially planned for all trips from September to December. In this way, thousands of people were harmed, having bought their tickets and were unable to travel.
The worst news is that customers were unable to choose how they would receive refunds. The only option is to issue a voucher monetarily adjusted for the value of the ticket purchased.
Thus, whoever received the voucher could make another purchase on the agency's website. Clearly, this attitude did not please the clients who took legal action against the agency, seeking reimbursement of the amount.
What should customers do to get reimbursement from 123Milhas?
Firstly, anyone who purchased tickets in installments on the card can request the suspension of payments on due installments.
However, the process is not easy, and legal action may be necessary to obtain the suspension.

Anyone who purchased tickets and continues within 7 days of purchase can request cancellation of the purchase due to regret. According to article 49 of the consumer protection code.
Looking for a lawyer to file a lawsuit is the best way to go. Although actions usually take some time, this is the best way to legally guarantee the refund of the amount.
The agency must propose agreements that need to be well evaluated by clients, and if they believe it is advantageous to accept. However, a lawyer can better advise on their clients’ rights.
