Dear All,

Happy New Year to you all/Feliz ano nuevo.

I am a Solicitor and the Managing Partner of Welbeck Law LLP and I specialise in debt recovery, insolvency and commercial litigation. We are a firm of solicitors based in central London and we are regulated and authorised by the Solicitors Regulation Authority. We are not a debt collection agency and there is a world of difference between the two. Please see my other blogs in this regard.

It was my firm that acted for the petitioning creditor which led to Kettlewell Solutions Limited (KSL), a firm of unregulated debt collectors, being placed into compulsory liquidation by the High Court in December 2013.

Welbeck Law LLP are now assisting former communities to recover the debts and their files from KSL.

I have read the blog below posted by Maria L. de Castro. As I am a Solicitor of the Supreme Court qualified in England and Wales, I think it would be wrong for me to comment on Spanish law.

I have however read with interest the leading legal text on the Horizontal Property Act 49/1960 written by specialist Abogado Feliz Lopez. Within his book entitled "Commonhold Law in Spain" Señor Lopez specifically refers to the same European Regulation which my firm uses when we bring legal proceedings against community debtors who do not pay.

All I can say is that in my view, as a solicitor the Regulation works well and we have sent thousands of euros of debts collected, to the many communities who desperately need this money collected in.

I regret that I will not be able to respond to individual queries but details of my firm's community fee debt collection service, is available on our website.

I hope the above is of assistance.

Thank you Mandy.

We have been talking to one Roda community president who was going to use our services but it appears they have decided to use the Spanish legal system.

They may also be considering using debt collectors who are largely unregulated as opposed to Solicitors, such as ourselves as we are authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority. We are also specialists in this field.

Meanwhile, the amount owners are being asked to contribute towards community fees may well be increasing because the debtors are not, in my view, being chased effectively.

Hand on heart, it makes no sense to me!

Feel free to give me a call if you wish to discuss.

Dear Mandy,

I hope the following assists. I am a solicitor and the founding partner of Welbeck Law LLP based in London.

The company of debt collectors you were told about may be Kettlewell Solutions Ltd which went into liquidation.

Information is available on our website blogs.

We specialise in tracing UK community fee debtors and pursuing them through the UK courts which are much faster than the Spanish courts.

If the debtor does not pay we get a judgment from the court using fast track European law.

More information is available on our website but we already have clients in Murcia and we are recovering debts for them.

Who ever your community uses to collect their debts please make sure you check they are solicitors. Further information is available on my blogs on the EOS website.

Jeremy Boyle LLB Hons. Solicitor.

Dear all,

I'm am a solicitor in London and specialise in insolvency law and debt collection. I cannot advise on individual cases but if someone declares themselves bankrupt, that individual's assets and property vest in his or her Trustee in Bankruptcy. That will include your home. There are other consequences.

I hope that is helpful, even though it might not be what you wanted to hear. Sorry.

Regards,

Jeremy Boyle. Welbeck Law LLP.
