Reclaim in Spain - Successful Claims for Irish and Uk Investors

Hi all

Ollie Reel from Armagh here - 00447557747931  or Irl lo call 1850200520 - or private message me here

Since i posted last year to let people know that there was a chance to Claim back our deposits in Spain we have been helping hundreds who never knew this could be done in both Ireland and UK - so far Martin De La Herran of Abolex law firm in Benidorm and myself and my brother John with the help of the Claims Bureau Uk have over 350 cases submitted to the Spanish courts and we are expected a whole raft of payouts for clients in next few months only 12 months since the Claims were started. We also have had a number of 6 month payout for a few UK clients and Martin de la Herran has had 100% success in over 130 cases over this last year which he had started before he met us  - so we know it works and we know Martin is the best placed lawyer in Spain to act on our behalf as he was the lawyer responsible for the precedent been set in the Law 57/68 cases and knows it inside out - if you think you have a case he will look at your paperwork - give his opinion ie good or bad and if he is 100% sure your case falls within the stipulations of the law then your case can be submitted to court - he doesnt charge anything up front for his services and only gets paid if your case wins. The only thing you have to do is seek POA ( Power of Attorney to allow Martin to act on your behalf in the Spanish courts.

Many Lawfirms have since jumped on the bandwagon offering all sorts of incentives to take on our cases - different % fees etc but they all seem to work out around 35% of the claim ,   but having experienced a lot of them myself in my own case  i know now that many are bluffers and in fact are charging hidden fees or not including all the interest or court fees awarded - so my message is be careful who you go with as you have only one bite at the cherry. If your lawyer messes up your claim you cannot have a second go .

The 65% you get back at the end usually works out that you get your full deposit back and the interest accrued over the 10 -15 yrs you bought pays the lawyers fees - how many of us would take arm amd all if someone told you . you have a chance to get your deposit back .

Another advantage Martin de la Herran has that no other law firm have in Spain is he has myself, my brother John and retired Garda Detective Pauline McDonagh ( Forde)  in Ireland /NI /UK and the Claims Bureau in the Uk working on the ground helping people to get together their paperwork  - we try to make the claim as simple as possible and all you have to do is scan and email or photocopy and post your evidence to us and we'll handle everything from there. You do not even have to meet Martin or travel to Spain and if your case is good and you have all the right paperwork ie copy of contract , proofs of payment to developer and any emails ,receipts , letters from agent/developers then in 12 -15 months your case could be over.

I have been on a few radio programmes in Ireland LMFM  , Cork96FM, OceanFM Sligo and Radio Nova and Sunshine Radio Dublin and Reclaiminspain  /The Claims Bureau have run adverts on Sky channel and RTE TV3 etc 

You can check the websites for reclaiminspain ie and com and please do contact us on 00447557747931 or Irl lo call 1850200520 if you think you may have a claim. As its NO Win No Fee its worth a shot - hopefully we can help.

Feel free to private message me as well if you have any questions

The advice we had from Martin at the time of the banking collapse was to leave the option of taking the banks to court through ley  57/1968.  

The real pioneer lawyers for retrieving money have been costaluz through Keith Rule.  

Anyone reading this post should consider asking other lawyers as well.   It would make no sense not to. 

Hi Brian

Thats what you may have been told by C.L  - but after researching over 30 Law firms before finding Martin DLH we know the real pioneers  - Martin DE La Herran along with 5 colleagues took six case in 2012 on a trial basis to test Law 57/68 - In 2015 the first 5 were successful and the final case was ruled on in March 2016.  - these cases set the precedent for the banks to have to pay out under Law 57/68.

I myself spoke to  a CL lawyer back in 2010 and at that stage we were told if we paid 5k up front they may look in to our case  - they told us nothing could be done unless we paid for their services . Yes -  Keith Rules case was successful but at what cost - we have taken on many people who could not afford the upfront costs of other Law firms and if you want to speak to Pauline McDonagh ( retired Garda detective ) who i mentioned in my previous post she will tell you of her experience with C.L -

Martin de La Herrans record of success speaks for itself and Yes people are free to ask other lawyers as a well and may have success  - we're just happy we choose the right one  - not all lawyers know this law and we ve already had a number of dissappointed investors who had their cases messed up by incompetence.

Good luck in whoever you go with

My response is fairly simple and is from a basis of experience and having my case won by C.L.

We were with Martin during the administration of our builders and the advice was to accept the promise of future money and not to use the law 57/68 because it was too 'unlikely' to succeed.  The administration process was very costly and I was fairly outspoken at the time with the groups of investors saying we would never receive any money from the bankruptcy process.  We took our lawyers advice, it was costly and was both fruitless and imho pointless.

At the time Martin was of the opinion 57/68 was not worth following up.   We came across CL on this site and through testimonials, they were the real pioneers and I respectfully suggest you look back in time (and having researched 30 solicitors as you claim you probably already know anyway).

Yes your absolutely right there are upfront fees which your lawyers may or may not help you meet as you go along, but there are also no win no fee arrangements with some lawyers or their representatives that take lots and lots of money from the investors at the end of the case, and these financial arrangements seem to have many hangers on making money for doing very little. Capitalism at its very base and worst manifestations.   

Anyway these are my observations having gone through the personal hell this situation throws up, so anyone reading this, shop around and ask very serious questions before you sign up to anything.

  Perhaps you can tell people who the claims bureau UK are, what they specialise in, what their fees and fee structures are, what your qualifications are and professional bodies you belong to?

It may be useful to let this website post know who you work for, if you had money reclaimed, why your placing your personal phone numbers in the post and what arrangements you have for receiving photocopies and documents dealing with people's cases.   I suppose your doing all this out of the goodness of your ♥️ 

Hi Brian

Unlike yourself I am not a regular poster of Eye on Spain so I'll try to respond to your last post as best I can. We are both on the same side here in that we both are in a position to help others who like ourselves were screwed over by crooked agents and developers in Spain - you may have a connection to the firm who were successful for you and I have a connection to the Clsims Bureau and Martin de la Herran of Abolex as they have helped myself and my family claim back our lost deposits and my brother and I now work for them as Claims Advisors  in helping others in Ireland to do the same - to answer your queries see below my answers 

  Perhaps you can tell people who the claims bureau UK are, what they specialise in, what their fees and fee structures are, what your qualifications are and professional bodies you belong to?

All you have to do is go on the Claims bureau website or Reclaim in Spain website to get all the info you need - the process and fee structure are all very transparent. 

It may be useful to let this website post know who you work for - I work for the Claims a Bureau along with my brother and we operate  in Ireland as part of a team with UK Claims Bureau and Martin De La Herran in Spain - we meet individual and groups of victims lost in Spain and basically from our own experience are able to guide the clients through the whole process - 

, if you had money reclaimed, - the claims bureau were able to win a claim for me from the Financial services compensation scheme in the UK - this was based on me having received poor financial advice from a regulated advisor who went bust - my wife and I got  the maximum payout from the FSCS of 100k - the Claims bureau charges 25% + 5% VAT so we received 70k - to say we were overjoyed after winning our case is an understatement - we are still down over 100k and hope our case with Martin will be successful. 

why your placing your personal phone numbers in the post and what arrangements you have for receiving photocopies and documents dealing with people's cases.

I use my personal number as our Irish 1850200520 number only works in ROI - I live in N Ireland so NI and UK clients can ring me on my personal mob no - alternatively they can ring the Claims Bureau UK office - 01903868251 

My brother and I arrange to meet most clients personally and take photocopies of all the evidence to be processed by our colleagues in UK and sent to Martin in Spain - we try to make the process as simple as possible from start to finish for clients and arrange their POA with local notaries - 

  I suppose your doing all this out of the goodness of your ♥️ - to answer this -

- I gave up my job of 24 years of teaching to take on this job which I have found very rewarding both in terms of a new career and been able to help those who like me lost deposits in Spain and indeed all over the world -  I'm not doing this for nothing as you supposed but I am doing it for goodness of my health as I have found that after 24 years of stressful teaching and the last 10 yrs of stress due to our losses it's great to be working at a job where you are making people happy especially for those who had lost all hope - myself and my wife lost our home this summer to one of the same banks in Spain who should be responsible for many law 57/68 claims in Spain - Santander agreed to an IVA with us in July 16 and renaged on the agreement forcing us out of our home - it will give me great pleasure if I can help people get their money back from any Spanish bank as they too in my opinion are as corrupt as the developers were . 

I work from home in Ireland tracking down those people who like me up until last year had never heard of Law 57/68 - I am very transparent in all the interviews I have done in Ireland and UK and if you go in to the Reclaim in Spain website you can hear the latest interview I did on Dublin 106.5 radio station - I can't put link on hear as unlike yourself I haven't posted enough times - anyway that's all I can tell you for now if you  have any other questions I will answer any queries you have - as you said people are free to shop around but I can assure them they will not find a better lawyer in Spain with the knowledge of Law 57 /68 than Martin DeLa Herran and his record of success speaks for itself

Ollie.  

In your last post you said your fees for taking cases on is transparent and you can provide a link to this easily.

because postings like these are not advertisements, can you provide the link about the cost of the service from the outset, so people are fully informed.

There is nothing to stop people dealing directly with the lawyers contributing to this site, who have great success in this area.

To all victims who lost out in Spain

Just as expected the thread in which Briando55 was exposed,  is under moderation , after a few home truths about his involvement in promoting and advising, victims of Spanish property deposit losses, to go with a particular Law Firm as reccommended by him in numerous threads and almost 2000 posts.

Brian says we should all be careful about which Law firm we go with to try to get our deposits back but still points you to a Law firm who charges you a lot of money up front and in one case of a victim who contacted me today, charges 50% of the total sum recovered to take their case on . What a joke!! And he has the cheek to call us thick!!

I rest my case

- if anyone from Ireland/ Uk wishes to contact myself or John feel free to do so and make your own mind up as to who is best placed to take on your Law 57/68 case - have a read at our story from previous post below and you ll see that people are getting their money back after all these years but as you have only one go at this you must choose wisely - i am not afraid to admit - unlike Briando55 that  - in our opinion Martin de La Herran of Abolex Abagados in Benidorm is one of the best and is the only lawyer we know has had 100 % success rate in all cases taken to date.

Ollie.   

I believe the thread is under revue because of your method of posting and blatant advertising.   I don’t require your 'home truths' lecture because it’s not applicable or acceptable.  My credibility is intact and (from your previous post under revue) if you have had calls and private messages offering you support, ask those people to come out of the shadows and make a contribution.   I’m sure it will help with your, what seems like a money spinning venture.   

I believe your comments show you to be the unprofessional agent you probably are, I remember a prior posting of yours asking people to send you documents about their case to assess!!!

Yes I sincerely hope people make up their own minds, and speaking from experience I do hope they choose someone else to go with.

Now if you will excuse me, I have more important things to be getting on with  🙂

Brian

The reason why the other thread is under review is because you reported it to the moderators as it did nt suit your agenda. Maybe the truth hurts. 

Unlike you im not hiding anything - you can read my story - even see my picture in the paper and contact me if you want  - and Yes i am helping people by assessing their docs to see if they have a case - this is because I know from my own experience what it takes to make a claim and from experience who the rip off lawyers in Spain are. If people want my help they can contact me , its their own choice.

If you have more important things to do then stop posting replies to any of my posts as it is obvious from your 2000 replies that you have little else to be doing or your working for some of the Law firms on this site. 

If you're getting paid for all the posts your making you must be worth a fortune.

Have a nice day

Ollie

Sorry Ollie.

I tried to be sympathetic to your posts but it just doesnt add up.

I have 10 minutes to spare so I will provide a little more information.

My 2000 posts have accumulated over a period of around 2005 to now.  They are mainly concerned with my experiences of being involved with a development on which I was purchasing, which went bust.

I had the advice of a lawyer who recommended I should be represented in the administration process rather than take action about the return of money through Ley 57/68.  I believe you are familiar with this lawyer.

I came across various crackpots on this site who started campaigns trying to get people to join bandwagons that insisted 'I want my house', as though they could make developers finish the sites.

I eventually looked at the lawyers around who were having success and making most sense, I instructed one of them and was given details of the amount it would cost and had no punches pulled about how long it may take.  I chose one, they won and I was happy to have done so.

The 2000 posts I have been involved in have given me the experience and the knowledge I have needed to succeed and to spot things along the way that may not be quite what they seem and involve the possibility of people throwing good money after bad.  I make comments about it and share my thoughts and experiences, thats what this here forum is for!

For information, I dont work for or represent any solicitor (although I believe you do), I dont use the forum to try and advertise, (although I believe you do).and I advise anyone to be suspicious of anyone who does.

Also, what makes you think the threadn is under review due to it being reported, and what gives you any right to state I have some kind of agenda?  (although I believe you do).

Im not particularly having a nice day, its raining here and I have to go out on a survey, I would much rather be out on the golf course, but thanks for your concern.

Brian

Hope the weather improves for your Golf

Thats a lot of - although i believe you do's - we ll just leave it up to anyone who wants to share their thoughts and experiences to believe what they want, as i have nothing to hide . Please read our story in Irish Examiner to prove my point.

Good luck
