Thanks everyone for your support it really helps hopefully it will all be sorted this week by our lawyer using power of attorney although this will be an expensive way of doing it we feel we have no choice. And yes I think we will be changing banks

See below e-mail from the bank we received 
 

Regarding your account with us

 

Since May this year it is compulsory that all the non residents in Spain have a “Certificado de NO residencia”. You apply for that at the police and it cost 6,70 eur. If you don’t have this certificate the account will be frozen until you have given us the certificate.  You have to go personally or with POA to the police.  However it is necessary that you deal with this matter as soon as possible as your account at the moment is frozen.

in reply to semijubalada we are in Andalucia and our mortgage is with the same bank, apparently we can't pay our mortgage as it has to be paid through our current account which of course is frozen so no money can go in or out. Nightmare. The bank say they can do nothing as it is the police who have frozen the account.
