Any advice on how I should try and get my security deposit back from an agent in Duquesa who, despite providing me with a signed document promising to refund me, refuse to pay it back to me.
Is it worth taking legal action? Is this common practice in Spain?

Don't seem to be able to PM at the moment so ive emailed Maria. My main problems are how much legal action is going to cost in comparision to what is a relativley small claim, how long it will take and, if i am succesful in court, how will the court decision be enforced.
Has anyone else had the same problem as me and managed to get their money back?

Hi chippyb
I have enabled your PM facility now by the way.
Can you PM me the name of the rental agent. I wonder if I know them?
Also, what reason are they giving you for not returning the money?
Justin

I've heard of another case of this in Duquesa. The initials of the agent are D.R. Is this the same one?

Momentum is building around Great Estates. Looks like they are keeping tenants, landlords and buyers money.
