So I've been onto our Lawyer this afternoon and had this responce 

''Because payments were initially paid to the solicitor firm Gomez de la Cruz and then forwarded to a bank of Palmera Properties he has no idea where the deposit funds went from there.

Once he got to the point of not being able to show your payment(s) reaching Banco Sabadell he had to close your case''

So basically they couldn't trace our payment entering the Developers Bank account - So frustrating. A letter was served on the Bank before the October cut off date but couldn't prove they took our money. Grrrr

Hi Gainsborough & Tommy 2

Our Lawyer told us they couldn't trace our money so didn't know which bank to go after so they dropped our case after 3 Years ! 

as far as I'm aware our claim is logged so might be able to persue it ? do either of you have any info you could share or let me have details of your Lawyers so I can approach them ? 

Many thanks, Glynn

So another year down the Line, ''Reclaim in Spain'' have been working on our case for a few years now and we have just been told that they are now not going to proceed with our case as they can't find out where the money has gone and to which bank it has gone to. So much for the Bank Guarantee. All sonds a bit corrupt to me, who's to say that they haven't took the bank to court and kept our money, we'll never know  too late to claim with anyone else now so thats the end of it for us by the looks of it

I think the Bank was Banco Pastor and I think they have now been taken over by Santander ??

We are still waiting for a responce from the Town Hall for them to confirm that the property is not habitable ! I've sent photo's but not enought apparently. If anyone has anything from the town hall let me know, been chasing them for over 12 months now but apparently this is ''quite normal''

Oh, just remembered, i think Spanish Legal Reclaim Charge VAT on top of there 35% fees, and the VAT is payable on the whole amount awarded I think. This is why we didn't go with them in the end, its in the small print !!
