Hi Maria, I started this thread trying to locate Gotardo Rodriguez.

My name is Andrew Leese and in 2010 signed up with Costaluz as a member of the Inroal Buyers Action Group. The Client Engagement Letter confirmed Costaluz would provide legal representation against both the developer and bank. It also stated if the account where my money went could not be traced, 1000 euros plus VAT would be refunded. It was clear from the documentation I initially submitted I’d paid my deposit to Palmera’s lawyer’s account.

In February 2011 I received a Declaratory Actions Letter from Costaluz recommending a lawsuit against the developer and advising if the developer went in to receivership I would possess a Court Order to collect my money. Despite winning the court action, in September 2014 Costaluz advised me as Inroal was in insolvency administration there was little likelihood of getting my money back.

In March 2014 a year after Inroal went in to receivership and 3 1/2 years after signing up with Costaluz, they advised me their litigation department was researching where my deposit was paid in and the developer bank account before submitting the preliminary procedure. If they could not collect this information, the preliminary procedure would be submitted in the next months. If we they got positive results, they would file the lawsuit against the bank.

Six months later in September 2014 Costaluz told me they couldn’t take any bank action because I’d paid my deposit to the lawyer’s account and it would require an entirely new action with an initial preliminary diligence fee of 1210 euros. I was advised this was to try and get Inroal’s bank information from the bankruptcy administrator. I assume if Costaluz had tried to recover the bank information for my and the other members of the Inroal Buyers Group in the 2½ years they were representing us before Inroal went into administration this new action would not have been necessary. They haven’t offered to return my 1000 euros plus VAT.

After 4 years it appears I’ve been left with a court ruling against Palmera Properties and a director who cannot be traced.

Maria when I and everyone else in the Inroal Action Group signed up to Costaluz it was on the understanding that we had paid Costaluz to; " bring an action against all Palmera related claimants with contracts already cancelled or whose properties were never completed."

I joined the Inroal Action Group and paid Costaluz upfront on the express understanding they would pursue our deposits from both the developer and the bank under Law 57/68. Only after repeated requests over a number of years asking how my claim against Inroal's bank was progressing was I told by one of their employees that no action had been taken against any bank and due to Costaluz representing me against Palmera to recover my agency payment they considered their job done. This despite Costaluz claiming Gotardo Rodriguez has disappeared and advising me it unlikely I would ever receive any money back. If I hadn't kept asking for an update I wouldn't have been informed by Costaluz they weren't pursuing any bank and had dispensed representing me.

No action was taken to pursue the bank holding our deposits for the years up to Inroal going into liquidation. When Costaluz finally addressed my query regarding bank action they claimed as the insolvency administrator now held all Inroal's documentation a new action would be required incurring an initial payment of 1200 euros for preliminary deligence.

Hi Nigel,

I read that article thanks, I'm just suprised he could just completely disappear from the authorities and was wondering if someone could confirm it or whether anyone knew otherwise.
