Thank you everyone for your kind posts and messages of support..

I will continue to fight for what i am owed.

Ive just sent the following email to Mr Duran:

 

Mr Duran,

It is clear you are either incapable or reluctant to calculate the monies you owe me, so i have done it:

Difference between money sent

and needed                                                     1780 euros

Tax reclaimed (or not, but should have been)                                                    3500 euros

Your fee (refunded because your service has been less than acceptable)        500 euros   

Compensation for the distress caused by your incompetence                           500 euros (so far, this figure is likely to           increase)

 

                                                                                         Total                           6280

 

You have my account details, so can you ensure payment is made in the next 7 days please.

Ill keep you posted. I would be happy to report it to the Bar Association, if someone can guild me to the correct address. I am shocked to hear that it may be common pratice, and something needs to be done.

Two years ago I hired Mr. D. Manuel Mateo Durán to help me sell my property in Spain. To cut a long story short, I sent them 19000 euros to cover fees and mortgage shortfall, this was 2000-5000 more than needed, but they said they needed the extra in case other bills/charges came to light. After 18 months, I asked if the could make their final calculation, and send me back the overpayment - 12 moths later, I've emailed over 40 times, called over 20 times - I'm just being fobbed off or ignored. 

 

If nothg else - I would recommend everyone avoid these con artists:

Gestoria Duran

Avda. El Albir nº 35 
El Albir
03581 Alfaz del Pi (Alicante) 
ESPAÑA
