Hi John
Their original, and a subsequent post, seem to answer your questions:
Original
A GREAT BIG, thank you, to Costaluz Lawyers, Maria & all her team.
They have won our case against BBVA who we paid our deposit to for our home on Santa Ana, Jumilla, Murcia, back in September 2006.
We had NOT been issued with a bank guarantee although it was promised to us on many occasions by San Jose, until they went into administration.
We had to go through the administration stage of the company, Herrada del Tollo, not knowing if they would be liquidated or not, we actually voted for them to be liquidated rather than be strung along for the next 5 years but there were enough votes to enable them to survive & offer us 65% of our money back in 5 years time.
We decided this was not acceptable, our original lawyers were not convinced of the action against the banks so we asked Maria at Costaluz Lawyers to start an action against the bank for us, under provision 1 segundo of Law 57/68, this action started in November 2010, so in approx 1 year we have a court decision to award us our original deposit money back plus legal interest & costs.
The original deposit has been refunded already with the costs and interest to be worked out and paid later.
We are Costaluz Lawyers first successful case using law 57/68 but will surely not be their last, be strong and brave, do not let the banks get away with YOUR money.
We would suggest talking to Maria and find out what she can do to help you.
It will cost you nothing to find out if you have a valid case.
.
We are incredibly happy
Two very satisfied clients

Hello Mark,
Yes we have the money back in our account, we waited until we received it before posting so as not to tempt fate.
It took approx 6 weeks from the sentence of the judge to receiving the money however this was over the christmas period when there were many holidays.
We hope many more of you will also be successful in the near future.
Kind Regards
Chris & Julie
