hi,
i do not know what i am allowed to say on this site, so i will give a brief description, but please feel free to PM me.
i went on an imspection trip last year with atlas international, i paid 3000 euros when there and signed a reservation form.
i then I made a further payment about 1 month later. i was told i would then have a 2nd payment to make.
my house was due to be ready in october. which i found odd, as my parents had also purchased with atlas a few months earlier, and also purchased on the same development and street as me and they were told the house would be ready in june last year.
then in december 2007, i received a letter from atlas saying that as i had not paid the 2nd payment my contract had been cancelled and that they would hold my money for 2 years.
i called atlas, and said i had been in contact with them several time as my parents house and my house was overdue and not once did the mention the 2nd payment.
atlas said they had sent an email, and they would sent a copy of this to me.
the copy of the email arrived - atlas had a spelling mistake in my email address and had sent it to someone else!! i pointed this out and was told that, that was unfortunate!
since then i have been in contact with atlas regarding my money, i asked them to either refund it or to transfer it to my parents property - which still is not ready!
atlas say no to both. THEY ARE NOW NOT ANSWERING MY CALLS OR EMAILS.
NOW FOR THE INTERESTING PART
when i paid my money to atlas, they should of then forwarded/paid the money to the builder - ATLAS DID NOT DO THIS
HOW MANY PEOPLE OUT THERE HAVE PAID THERE MONEY TO ATLAS INTERNATIONAL OR IBERIAN INTERNATIONAL - who is atlas international sister company
PRESUMING THEY HAVE THEN FORWARDED TO THE BUILDER??
I AM NOW STARTING LEGAL PROCEEDINGS, I AM CONTACTING A BRITISH NEWSPAPER AND TELEVISION COMPANY REGARDING THIS AND I AM ALSO CONTACTING A SPANISH NEWSPAPER.
THERE MUST BE LOTS OF US OUT THERE THAT HAS HAD PROBLEMS WITH ATLAS INTERNATIONAL AND IBERIAN INTERNATIONAL.
I AM ASKING ANYONE WITH STORIES TO CONTACT ME, I AM TRYING TO BUILD UP A PORTFOLIO OF ALL THIS.
MY AIM IS TO GET MY MONEY BACK
ARE YOU IN THE SAME BOAT??
I KNOW THIS IS A BIG THING TO TAKE ON, BUT I, LIKE EVERYONE HAS WORKED HARD FOR MY MONEY
I AM PREPARED AND READY TO TAKE THIS FIGHT ON.
PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS.
MANY THANKS
