Hi everyone.

Just had another letter from CLS which is now very threatening and provocative, which implies we need to complete on property or face 60,000 euros legal costs plus final fee for property of 147,000 euros to stop court case.

Has anyone else had a second letter from CLS? Anyone know how credible this company is and implications to us in the UK about Spanish law, should the worst case scenario happen (if indeed it is possible) that we are forced to purchase the property and pay additional legal costs?

Our Spanish solicitors, informed us it would go to court, and ourselves and Polaris believe each other has breached contract, but the CLS letter implies we will be forced to purchase property and pay additional legal fees, which is not laid out in our contract.  So not sure what to believe.

My previous posts explain the situation around the purchase of property off plan in 2007.

Any help or words of wisdom appreciated, whilst we try and contact our Spanish solicitors and interpret each other on the way forward.

 Hi  we have been advised by fusters to seek a lawyer in the UK as legal action is now being taken against us by a company called CLS Legal Services based in the UK on behalf of PW, and they are taking proceedings against us for "failure to meet our obligations" and  take us to court for the outstanding balance, CLS have also added recovery fees and interest ! an extra 16,000 euros.

We don't know where to go from here.

Good luck with your Court case next month.

 I have today received the same threatening letter with no contact from PW since 2008, when they could not accept our 2nd instalment and issue a bank guarantee, which led us to contact our solicitors (Fusters) to instruct terminating the contract, which they did not manage to do.

So interested in how everyone else gets on with this, think i will instruct an English solicitor asap.  

I will not acknowledge receipt of the letter or contact the cowboy solicitors.

The story is that we have instructed solicitors (Fusters- paid 2000 euros) to terminate our contact as our property (penthouse on phase 5) was due for completion last year and only just hearing now that it will be ready soon. 

We never received the bank guarantee for the second payment approximately 2 yearsago which started the concern and led to the cancellation instruction to our sols, we got this money back from our sols at the time but want the contract terminated and the deposit and intial 25% back.

Our solictiors are saying no breach of contract as the work eventually started 12 months late and the dealy is not an issue and are now not responding to us, not the best 2000 euros ever spent.

The advice I would like is how do we get our solicitors to get us to a point where we can get the original money and deposit back and that we can terminate the contract over the delay to the build.

Has anyone got a solicitor which has delivered results for them that they could recommend?

Regards
