Hi all, it's been a long time since I posted anything on here although must confess I do keep having a look to see what the mood is! One thing's for sure, the mood ain't great at the moment!
Well I was over there in early April. I met Jane and saw their "solicitor" and they told me that once the backer was in place then building would start in the summer! I asked them to forgive me if I doubted what they said but they didn't have a sense of humour. They also said if I didn't want to wait until the place was built then I could "apply" for a refund by sending them a "burofax". Some sort of legal document that we are suppsed to formally lodge with them. Then they said refunds would be made once the first properties were sold as they didn't have the money to repay to clients now!
I then spoke to some lawyers down there and they basically said "give us 400 euros to send a "burofax" and TH will put it on their pile! But my contract says they are clearly in breach so I could sue them and it'll cost 10,000 euros and about a year. "Oh and by the way, we're not sure if you'll get your money back as they are not financially secure!"
So what a predicament. I don't mean to preach to the converted but we are where we are. Now what do we do? I'm sure some are trying them on legally and others are holding on in hope if for no other reason as they're not keen on throwing another 10k at this. I'd very much like to hear who's doing what.

Is anyone making progress with legal action?
