Hi, 

We have just received a similar letter today, previous to this we have had two phone calls in last few weeks trying to persuade us to complete, directed them to our lawyers. The  lawyers  had notified PW a year ago of our intention to cancel due to their breach of contract.

PW had failed to contact us  despite us trying on several occasions to discuss  things with them, this resulted in our decision to cancel. I am particularly bemused by the accusation in the letter of continual failure to meet our obligations!

Have e-mailed our lawyers in Spain  tonight and will let you know what they say. Have friend who is lawyer here and taking advice here too, perhaps need to go public with these bully boy tactics!!

 I have today received the same threatening letter with no contact from PW since 2008, when they could not accept our 2nd instalment and issue a bank guarantee, which led us to contact our solicitors (Fusters) to instruct terminating the contract, which they did not manage to do.

So interested in how everyone else gets on with this, think i will instruct an English solicitor asap.  

I will not acknowledge receipt of the letter or contact the cowboy solicitors.

Regards

Hi,

Does anyone have any update on this??? Have just received a letter and wondering what exactly they can do to force you to buy???? I have been told that we cannot terminate the contract only PW.

 Dear Paws:

Cancellation rights for contract agreements with reciprocal obligations are for each one of the parties, depending on what party defaults.

Best,

Maria

Legal tip 347. Case won against POLARIS´ guarantor 
22 September 2010 @ 11:47 

It is good that Judges are starting to view things with a more open mind - taking into consideration the rights of the consumer and seeing these contracts for what they really are - UNFAIR and biased towards the developer.

The Cleyton GES SL purchase contracts for Las Higuericas Finca Parcs are also unfairly biased towards the developer as they do not have a completion date.

The rights of the consumer have been ignored for too long.  Now is the time for consumers to begin the fightback.

Confidence will only return to the Spanish property market when buyers can really trust the system and when consumers rights are respected by the developers, the banks and the judicial system.

Kind regards

Keith
