Hi, after some time away from all of this I finally contacted Maria at Costaluz, sent her all my paperwork.  I got nothing back from her for 3 years so chased her last week and got this reply.  Seems I am not even getting off the starting blocks.  Did anyone else pay their deposit to Palmera Properties or just me?  Looks like my money is gone for good.
 

Dear Sarah, 

Thank you for contacting us. I have reviewed the documentation sent to us a while ago. 

I am sorry but in your case it is not possible to submit a claim against the bank because you paid although Palmera Properties. 

To submit a claim against the bank it is mandatory to have evidence of payments received in the developer bank account and to have the contract cancelled  because the developer did not deliver the property at time. 

I am sorry for providing this information.

Hi

When looking back on older threads, it seems that some got quite far with their legal proceedings and a couple were awarded in their favor but not sure if they ever actaully got their money back.

I was in touch with Maria L De Castro from Costa Luz Lawyers, sent her all my paperwork in July 2020 before the cut off but then never heard anything again. 

I'm not sure if we are now past the point we can make a claim. Like others, our we were not in a financial position all those years ago to push this but now we can to some degree so it would be nice to give this one last push.

I lost my original logins - I was Snowqueen, now Sarah SG.

Just jumping on here after about 13 years away. I'd given up hope of ever seeing our money again but I see there is legal action going on all over the place so who knows.  

I was previously Snowqeeun but forogt my login details so had to re register. 

Did anyone have any luck getting their deposits back?  I've sent a message to Maria (?), the lawyer advetising on here to see if there is still a chance.
