Well, I have a lovely experienced conveyancing ex-lawyer (i.e. he's just retired) but he's smart and a good friend - so I'm happy to email him with a 'what do you think' email re all of this.  He's English - not sure his remit or experience covers Spanish jurisdictions and law - but if you don't ask, you don't get - so I'll get on with asking him.  Worst case - we're all of us 'fxxxd' - best case, he knows someone in Spain ...

Frankly, I'm not personally optimistic about any refund of deposit, legal fees - at least not any time soon.   I need the money so I'm not waving goodbye to xxxthousand Euro with equinamity - and I'm seriously annoyed with 'whoever IAP are now's ' representatives - I've just picked up an email re meetings (as I expect you have too) - In March,.   I have no interest in 'flipping' this investment (whatever that means).  I just want my original money back.   Any meeting in London, or anywhere else, unless it results in positive action is without point.   I'll email my ex-lawyer friend now - and post back any 'first thoughts'.

As I said I'm in London - if anyone wants to meet sooner than IAP's March - let me know?

Thank God I've found you all!  Yes, I'm another Fortuna Golf - victim? casualty? Not sure about the appropriate descriptive term but I am sure that I'm seriously confused!

So - I've read through a large number of these posts and like many of you feel that  there is strength in numbers.   A couple of questions:

• What's the best way to move our case for return of deposits, compensation forward?
• I am receving emails from Anna re meetings around the country - no dates, nor locations yet.   Can we not arrange our own meetings locally ?
• I'm in London. Happy to meet other London UnFortunates.  Not simply to sit and tell our own particular stories (I suspect  they're all very similar), but to create a strategy, action plan.   For example, is it worth nominating 'one of us' to contact Spanish real estate lawyers ?  Or spend time web-researching similar situations and their outcomes?  Forgive me if you are already doing this -
• I'm not a lawyer - and this one & only foray into 'investment' serves to show I'm no property expert either!   I am however, very annoyed that a significant sum of money can simply disappear and that there, so far, appears to be no way to get it back.   Begs the obvious question - if San Antonio were in financial difficulties why were IAP's clients (yes, I'm one of those who bought this 'investment' through IAP ) not alerted to this much earlier?

Wait to hear.

Best
