Hello holhome7980,

There's a very apt expression..."when in Rome..." of course I appreciate you're not in Spain, but I suggest you adopt their attitude and their way of doing things (or not doing things, as in this case). 

As a general rule the Spanish do not write letters.  I've bought and sold many properties over the years and never received one letter in return, not that many emails either!  It's all done verbally.

As I said previouslyYou've made your intentions clear, so I wouldn't bother.  The Spanish tend to be pragmatic folk so I doubt if they really expect you to do so either.

Perhaps a short email to them suggesting they just close the account and donate any surplus funds to a local charity?

They will get the message, but it may take a while.

In some respects Spain is in the dark ages in this respect.  The worst I've encountered is in the property sector where builders/promoters/agents can make outrageous promises on facilities that a new development will include - they know that consumer protection in Spain doesn't really exist, yet.

I love Spain and the Spanish people but these days if I'm buying anything I try to ensure the discount or subsidy is deducted from the purchase when made.  In my experience there is no realistic Consumer Protection.  Once you part with your cash you are on your own.

In all honesty I probably should not have made my comment as I know nothing about Solar panel subsidies in Spain.  But I do know neighbours who've had systems installed w/o and mention of them being part of the deal.  But our place is in Murcia, perhaps it's a regional thing?

Occasionally recently there seem to be deals which are for EU nationals only?

I reckon in general local retailers in Spain are amazingly honest and great to do business with, but most big companies, banks, property sales people, solicitors, town halls are invariably a different matter.  But that's just my experience.

Not wishing to be unkind but I would be amazed if you did - who was supposed to provide this?

Sounds bad, but your comments seem to be based on presumption and I suggest you need to avoid escalating the matter until you have hard evidence.

You don't mention the reason that the new President was voted in - was that straight forward and a democratic vote?  There can be good reasons to sack an administrator was that possibility not discussed at the EGM?  The law of dafamation is applied quite regularly in Spain and you may be better off seeking external assistance once you are able to be sure of established a strong case and be sure of strong support from your community.  Then consider calling an EGM which can be achieved with 25% of folk backing this demand.
