Hi

Interestingly we paid our deposits into Huma's account with Banco Popular but when we threatened Huma with legal action our guarrantee came from bank Inter. They also prevaricated about paying out, but the threat of action against them saw them pay up. I wonder if there was some shuffling of monies around various bank accounts?

Hi all,

 

just saw this and was surprised that Snr Garcia was the owner of Huma and not Subiela whom I always thought was responsible.

If huma are not in administration,maybe this is someone with assets to chase?

Hi diver Dan

We purchased at ACC in October 2005 just before the S**t hit the fan. We had paid one instalment and threatened Huma with court action unless we got our bank guarantee. It came from a different bank to the one that had our money but was a guarantee nevertherless.

Using that ACC site you spoke of I encouraged everyone without the guarantee to do the same, but many just left it to chance and ended up in the mire. Eventually, we had to threaten the bank with litigation before they coughed up. So we lost our initial deposit of £2k but on the up side we benefited from the Euro/pound exchange rate, and our lawyers never charged us a penny!

Its too late in life for us to look at buying even if we thought it would be a good deal. there are so many issues with the stability of European countries I would only ever rent these days because at least you can get out with minimal loss when the rioting starts.

The person who always gave good, free advice was Maria, and she kept our hopes alive in the dark days. I hope that the corruption in Spain will be swept aside and everyone will get something back eben if its one of those many apartments that noone will buy.

Kind regards

Hi Everybody

We paid up in 2005 just before Huma pulled the plug on ACC. We were fortunate that we pressed our solicitors to get a bank guarantee, and later to execute it. So we lost our 3000 euros and any itention we had of retiring to the sun. At this stage of economic uncertainty I would only ever rent abroad particularly in non industrialised countries like Spain, where corruption sems to be endemic

I Feel very sorry for those buyers who waited in the hope that those nice people at Huma would do the decent thing. Perhaps when Spain has to go cap in hand to Germany they will put someone in charge who will shake up the old system and we'll see some sensible judgements. Don't forget, it wasn't just the British who were fleeced, the  purchasers were from all over Northern Europe.

Donald's site kept us sane, with contributions from Charles and Peter and sound advise from Maria.

Best of luck to all

Hi all

 

I'm posting this as a quote. Marta Andreasen appears to be the only MEP fighting our corner, but who knows, with a little more pressure other Polititians may jump on the bandwagon and we may get some recompense.

Dear All,

the lobbying campaign for a debate of the Spanish Property Abuses in Parliament has been a great success with over 2,500 emails sent to MEPs.
Thank you to everyone who wrote; the message has been heard very clearly and we can stop sending emails to the British MEPs for now. Feel free to carry on with the other nationalities, especially the Spanish!

Marta and I have read your replies and will follow up with the other parties.
The fight is far from being over and every step counts. I will write in the coming days to give you an update.

Again, congratulations and thank you to all.

Assistant to Marta Andeasen, MEP
