Anniversary

Purchasers who had contracts with a completion date of May 2008 and confirmed they didnt wish to extend this completion date with empty promises found HCC would not honour the bank guarantee.

HCC confirmed in writing this date had been extended to May 2009! not with any change to my contract!

Here we are June 2009 and i have a new addition to my personality - patience.

Has anybody had recent dealings with HCC and  favourable feedback regarding the return of deposits.

We recently appointed a spanish solicitor to obtain our deposits back under the bank guarantee. We understand he is unable to obtain a 'certificate' from the Alcaucin Town Hall in order to start proceedings. This is due to the ongoing legal dealings with the arrest of the Mayor!.  At this time I don't have info about the type of certificate required.

Hence we are blocked. I have a meeting later this month (19th) with him when I hope to find out more information.

Does anyone have any updates or information.

We met with a solicitor who obtained a certificate detailing when the building work was suspended by the Town Hall (Jan 2008). This has been used in the process of terminating our contract. We are now awaiting a 40 day period for the bank guarantee company to respond. We have been advised that if they don't cancel the contract and return our deposit we will have to go to court.

I hope we'll get the deposit back without court action, we are perfectly in the right to cancel under the terms of the contract (i.e. no delivery before May 2008 - Balcon de Alcaucin Phase 1).

Hi are you Tom who speaks to Dave?

Do you know when the 40 days expires?  When did you last hear from the Solicitors?

As someone may know more than me-could you tell me any news, good/bad?    Thanks Roy

Hello all,

I have just recieved,as im sure most of you involved here will have also a letter from Criado and Kraus explaning (in a way) what seems to be going on over in Spain with Alcaucin.  Its been a very long time now and Im starting to get seriously worried that this case will never end or be resolved?  Does anyone know any different?  Have any of you had similar experiences with these situations?  Everything I had went into this.

Are there people that are interested in getting Jose over to explain things in more detail as he mentioned?  As the letters,although in English really go round and round the houses and dont really fill in the gaps as I would like.

Hello all

Its been a long road but we have got our money back thanks to a fantastic lawyer and team. Don't give up.
