Hi, I have not posted on the site before, however I have been part of this mess since 2004. I had made three stage payments in excess of 100K euro. I transfered to OCC form ACC. I was with Aldea so am fully aware of what has happened.
I employed a new solicitor 18 months ago to go through the process of getting money back from Huma. I had a court date set for April this year. This was stopped by my solicitor when it became apparent that a criminal case was being made against Huma. My solicitor registered an interest in the case with the court and stopped my civil case.
He then looked to see if he could try getting any money back through the banks, they being responsible for the bank guarantees. The two bank guarantees I had had expired. I have one payment with no guarantee.
To cut to the point, I have just had it confirmed by my solicitor that one of the banks has paid the bank guarantee to my solicitor and he has sent me a cheque. This was not cheap! it has cost 5K euros plus the costs of the case against Huma. I am now chasing through my solicitor the other bank guarantee via the courts.
There is light at the end of the tunnel, the next stage I am told could take some time but as far as I am concerned I have some money back that I thought was long gone.
