Been contacted by 2 new lawyers this month, both say they can get refund, from banks WITHOUT bankgaurantees.
no win no free BUT pay 500e upfront???????? why is that important when they are SURE they can recover my 45.000euros, will offer the 500e out of the recovered money, if the say no it shows they have another scam on the go.

Hi Everyone,
I'm happy to say that Carlos Meoro Aviles Abogados is NOT attempting to scam anyone. I work for this company and along with Alonso Haro Solicitors,we are actively refunding clients that bought on Almanzora Country Club.
We offer no win, no fee (because we're sure we can get your money back) and can return 100% of the money you invested, sometimes within just 2 weeks! It's hard to believe after you've been waiting for money for 8-9 years in some cases but it's very true.
For example, Mr Brooker thought it was a scam when I rang him first - but we were able to refund his money just 4 weeks after the initial phone conversation.
If you want more information, call me on UK number 02895 089634 or UK mobile 07840760060.

I have said this many times and documented and seen unfortunatley many scams that simply require a pre-payment of between €500-€1000 up front, to cover as they normally put it admin fees and they are never seen again, certainly the money is never seen again
I have always been told that reputable lawyers will NEVER cold call potential clients, they are not allowed to, and the normal question should always be, where did you get my details from, as these are also linked to boiler room scams where they exchange call lists
If they are that confident then perhaps it should be a no win, no fee, no upfromt cost agreement, if they are really that confident of recovering the money, for a percentage of course, but what does the lawyer have to loose, sorry certain they won't offer this.
It isn't just for this development that this is happening, they are back targeting a number of resorts including United Golf and MCC
I doubt if mr Brooker really exisits, he doesnt seem to be a referebce on their website, in fact there are no references form happy clients on their website, you have to wonder why and why a lawyer would be based in the UK
The numbers listed on the posting actually link to a spanish property sales compnay based in Murcia Armstrong Villas, confusing again

Hi Roy,
It's impossible for me to give references on a public forum but I'm happy to provide them to anyone that wants to PM me. Mr Brooker is very real and you will see references from other clients on our website. We have many clients that have recovered their money from Huma Mediterraneo and quite a few are happy to speak about their experience.
We have a no win, no fee policy for clients that have a bank guarantee so there is no risk on the part of client. We provide an excellent service but there are many people out there who don't know that it's possible to recover their deposits - hence the reason we're on this forum.
We have offices in Ireland and the UK as well as in Cartagena and Murcia. Our UK offices are the first point of contact for our clients because many people prefer to speak to a native English speaker when dealing with something so important.
I understand your doubts and fears but we are a genuine legal business doing a good job for our clients.
Paul

If you read the post these are people that are in a situation where they have no bank guarntees which is actually not what you are offering Paul on a no win no fee basis
I stick by my comments, reputable lawyers DO NOT canvass for business, they do not cold call
Any compmay that asks fr a one off upfront payment should nit be touched, you shoullf be asking how did you get my number
If ANY company are that confidence then it should be no win, no advance fee, otherwise don't touch them or you willl loose more money

Hi Roy,
You are entitled to your opinion regarding the way we contact clients. I don't see it as "cold calling" in the same way that we all receive cold calls from Indian call centres trying to sell us something or other. We contact people who, for one reason or another, have given up hope of recovering their money from Huma Mediterraneo and other builders. We reassure them as to our credentials and let them speak to other clients that have recovered money through us. Many of these people are completely unaware that their money can be recovered very quickly and are naturally quite sceptical but this is why we offer a no win, no fee policy for bank guaranteed deposits - they have nothing to lose by letting us handle their case.
Why have these people given up hope? I have come across many reasons. Medical problems. One of the original buyers has passed away. The original solicitor has gone missing/bankrupt. They have lost their paperwork. They have engaged a solicitor that did nothing. High up-front legal fees asked by solicitors, etc
Carlos Meoro is one of the best barristers in Murcia and he has been taking legal action against Huma, San Jose, Trampolin, Tres Molinos and many other builders for many years. He specialises in builders (and their banks) that have gone into bankruptcy and has won many legal precedents that allow us to recover our clients money. We have no desire to scam anyone - we're in the business of helping people.
With regard to non guaranteed deposits, there will always be a small fee required to cover court costs. It's an unavoidable fact of life that the recovery of non guaranteed deposits is a much more difficult process. The investment is small in comparison to the amount recovered however.
Paul

I might need to clarify how we recover our clients money. We don't take the builder to court as this is a waste of time and money - the builder has gone bankrupt and they have no assets.
We take the bank to court because the bank guarantee is registered under Spanish law 57/68. This law means that any bank guaranteed investment is safe even if the builder goes into bankruptcy, and it is under this law that we can recover the bank guaranteed investment.
When we win, you get your money back.
Paul

Hi Paul,
To clarify - are you saying you can take a bank to court and manage to get money back without a bank guarantee in place?

This is where the responses should get interesting because the answer from Paul will be no there is not an easy way to recover your deposit if you do not have a bank guarntee and specifically his posting says that we act on a no win no fee basis for people that have a BG
With the number of recent legal cases that have been won against the banks it should be a fairly easy process for a compitent lawyer to act for somebody with a BG to recover their deposit, interest and costs, without you having to loose a larger percentage of the money returned, but you will have to pay a much higher amount upfront
There are a few legal firms recomended on this forum that could advise you on this but I believe that if you dont have a BG that these type of no win no offers do not apply to you

I really think if I had a bank guarantee there would in fact be no need to use a legal firm to get the money returned. However without one it's a very different position. I am very interested in a response from Paul.

Perhaps, if no BG then Pauls Firm first try to get / obtain this from the Bank ? If succesful they have fair chance of getting money back, but, if no BG forthcoming then it's a real struggle..................Paul can you anwser the question below and confirm how you proceed if the client has NO BG.Cheers.

Good afternoon all,
Firstly, it's far from simple to get money from the banks, even with a bank guarantee. Many banks put up every obstacle possible to prevent recovery of deposits and it very often requires court action, or the threat of it, to make them pay. We find every bank and every bankrupt development to be different though. For instance, our company has an agreement with one bank to pay out within 2 weeks whereas others can take 4-6 months of legal tennis.
With regard to non bank guaranteed deposits, we have had success in recovering money but it is a more difficult and time consuming process taking on average 12-18 months. We can't offer no win, no fee in this case as there are greater costs associated with this process. We try to keep the initial outlay as low as possible though as we understand that many people aren't in the position to pay out thousands of pounds. The investment is worth it though when you consider the amount of money that can be recovered.
Another point. Many people don't actually realise that they have a bank guarantee. They may not have received it or their solicitor may have lost it. With a simple authorisation we can check this for you in a few days.
Hope this helps
Paul

Hi Paul,
Many thanks for your comments.
I would like to know how may cases you've dealt with successfully from ACC without a bank guarantee. If there is anyone on this forum it would be good to hear from them.
Most of us have already spent many thousands on legal fees by taking Huma to court which has been a total waste of money so I am very reluctant to throw away even more.
Christine.

Hi Christine,
We have had success in recovering funds from the builder in the last few years as they had some assets hidden away that were able to uncover. Some of the clients that benefitted from this had no bank guarantee.
We are currently prepapring a lawsuit against the various banks connected to this builder as we believe these banks had a criminal liability for not guaranteeing the monies transferred from property payments. We have around 30 clients that will be attached to this lawsuit but I don't know if any of them use this forum.
I hope this answers your question.
Paul
