I mentioned in my last posting that we had paid 150 euros to Snra de Castro of this website, to pursue bank gurantees under Law 57/68. I also said we had not heard from her since July 2010 when we paid her the money. Well we have now, basically nothing has been done, we even asked her for our money back and had no reply. However we have had another contact from her which has left us wondering if we are on the same planet.

Snra de Castro claims that her company has entered into special arrangements with various banks and promoters to offer discounted alternative properties to clients who have lost deposits on unfinished developments. Isn't that exactly what Gotardo Rodriguez of Palmera properties was trying to do? Having already lost thousands of pounds/euros in investing in Spain, are there still people out there gullible enough to put more money into Spain? Isn't this an almost open admission that Spanish lawyers will never be able to recover our deposits?

Beam me up Scotty!

I've followed this thread on and off for 7 years, having put a deposit down on a property in the Alpujarras. Done all the things everyone else has done, even meeting Gotardo with a view to switching property but as with most people, did not like the deal being offered. Tried the legal routes and used the lawyer favoured by Eye on Spain, Maria de Castro, to whom we paid 150 euros to do a bank gurantee search back in July last year. This lady who regularly posts on this website and advises that she can help to recover deposits and help through the legal Spanish minefields, has, like most of the Spanish legal system utterly failed to help and we have not heard a word from her since we paid her the money.
