Hi I am not familiar with this man but there a few like him around ready to con you out of your well earned Euros. I could name a few, after listening to other peoples experiences in the past
I have not long ago had a pool installed at my property.
The Architects fee was approx €1400. This was to get the project drawn up.
This has to be done by a Spanish Registered Architect who has to stamp the project with an official stamp.
I then paid my Solicitor €360. This was for my licence from the town hall. This included his fee.
So to pay somebody €1000 just to get your licence seems to me a bit steep.
I am sorry this does not help. But, it can all be done and right first time.

I wish you well in getting your cash back.

Hi Steve, Its nice to know you are getting the licences through. Any idea  when ours will come through as we paid you the full amount ( 1000.00 euros) over 3 years ago. An update  would be appreciated  as it would save us a visit  to the Town Hall to enquire about its progress.

hi all i must say that i have no problem with any action this man may take .i have several e-mails he sent to me when he first said he would not get my licence..let me enlighten you all firstly i paid this man and his company over 38,000 euros to do my work ,the pool licence was just part of it .he came to me after a man on sierra golf asked me to get him a quote for a pool ,steve then said he started the work for him but when someone else got the job he told me as i was his friend he would no longer get my licence,i said to him as i did not owe him he should take it up with the person who he said owed him money.i recieved a e-mail from im stating the reasons why my pool licence would not be got for me,i also had a e-mail from his office stating if i tried to cause him trouble he would report me for not paying the iva which was over 5,700 euros .he also sent me the contract that he said was legal for my friend .i still have all the paper work and e-mails that he sent ..ask him these questions ..why could we not pay him a cheque for more than 3,000 euros ..why was other peoples names went on the cheques .why does he not put the iva onto the contract he uses ....he told me once that he was going to send some blokes to see to me in the middle of the night..as yet only 2 people have a licence for the pool and neither one was got by him....i have also spoken to his partner at the time who confirms that iva was included in the price......i will stand by what i have said and the only way i will stop is if he pays me the 650 euros that i have had to spend extra to get my poollicence........dennis

Steve - Why don't you just list here the names of the licences that you have, then at least we all know where we stand.

Amber Pools

 

 

Hi all that are following this thread I will try and answer all the queries and questions raised if I miss any then please let me know and ask again.

 

1.  Yes the company has changed names that was over 3 years ago as I had a partner called Jason Fowles and under Spanish law when you dissolve a company when partners stop working together the company name has to be changed. Legally at that time I did not have to fish work obtained by that company however I did as I am not here to make a fast Euro I am here to live with my family and make sure everyone got what they paid for even if it came out of my pocket as the other company dissolved. However I am still in the same premises and have not moved anywhere are run to hide anywhere.

 

2. I do not work for the council so have no control over when the License will be granted, the council have there own process which they follow which includes visiting the premises if the owners are not at home at the time of the visit then the application will take considerably longer.   The license will be granted when the council have completed all the paperwork, People that believe they have outstanding license application can indeed chase them up by visiting the council offices too.

 

3. In order for a license to be granted the company that builds the pool has to prove that they have disposed of the rubble/ excavation materials according to Spanish law so it impossible to obtain a license before the pool as is built.

 

4. In the case of Mr Hall that’s why you have not got your license we have not even started your pool build so how you can comment on something that does not appertain to you I am amazed, we have not even started your pool all you have asked us to do is apply for your license which we have however it will not be granted until the pool is complete.

 

5.  Everyone I have ever dealt with and they are over 1,000 of them this is the only person I have had any problems with as in Dennis, he has never rang me and I have posted my number he seems just to want to get attention for himself for what reason I do not know.

 

6. I have applied for a obtained licenses for the following people over recent times whose pools I have built nearby: Richard Todd, Peter Elsey, Steven Clarke, Brian Whitfield, Pedro Sanchez, Julio Cesear, Mr Gonzales, Mr Tidd, amongst others.

 

7.  I have helped a large number of people on Sierra Golf and United Golf in my own time and not charged them a penny for that service, this seems to be forgotten and people have to remember this is not the UK and the system is not the same and there are teething problems however anyone I have ever done work for as received the job completed and I have even gone back to their houses and completed work that other companies have left unfinished.

 

8. In relation to payments for licenses all the customers that have paid me have received architect drawings stamped that proves they have been submitted to the council.  The licenses are coming however in some areas they just take longer than others as I mentioned above you can yourself contact the council too.

 

9.  Finally if you have concerns you can contact the architect direct on 650001230 his name Juan from indepro he will happily talk with you however he only speaks Spanish so  make sure you can are you have someone with you when you speak to him.

 

10.  I have to say that the small minorities on here have jumped on a band wagon that was never going to roll anywhere I do not even know most of you and have never done any work for you yet you comment on something that you know every few facts about.

11. My businees is going very well and I have lots and lots of satisfied customers who having seen this thread are amazed by the comments, I am even having people call me about more work as the company name is being highlighted.  Anyone that truely knows me or my company knows I always finish my work.

As I said my number is 672222537 you can call me anytime or ring the Mazarron office and speak to Lee on 868181134, I am not hiding I am here if you want to ask me anything

Hi Steve
Thank you for thorough explanation. From my comment in a previous post. I remove you from the statement people like this. It was never meant as a direct comment against yourself or what you or your business is about. Sadly S--- happens and sometimes sticks. Some people go to great lengths to put people down..
It takes a good man to lay his cards on the table. A bluffer gets nothing.
Good luck for the future. Hope there is a resolve to any outstanding issues.
 

Always remember to keep the sun in YA heart

Hi, this message is for Steve at Amber Pools. Please remove us from your list of satisfied customers as we are most certainly not satisfied. We in good faith paid you All monies due for the construction of our pool and terrace. You instructed the architect. You said all we had to do was deal with the Town Hall for our licence & you would do the rest.

Your Archiect is now demanding money from us for our fin d'Obra which gives us our final licence from the Town Hall.

You are ignoring our emails asking when you will sort this out.

Please prove everyone wrong who we have spoken to recently & rectify this situation.

Hi everyone.
I have no knowledge of Steve Thoomy but note that he mentioned he used to be in business with JASON FOWLES.
Please be warned this man con not be trusted.
I have only heard gossip concerning his quality of work so will not repeat it here.
I do know that his despicable reputation with women is true. He has coldly and deliberately taken full advantage of a vulnerable friend of mine and destroyed a 20 year marriage.
You have been warned.

We used Steve for our pool - have no complaints - haven't got licence and probably never will - but pool and other work done at good price and good quality.  What Jason got up to with women shouldn't have any impact on Steve's work.  He hasn't worked with Steve for quite some time.
