Hi folks,
Just a brief follow-up to my last post.
As I mentioned previously, I transferred my 2008 Wealth Tax payment to the Aldea account in La Caixa in Torrevieja.
However, the money ended up in an unknown account elsewhere.
However, it now transpires that the this mysterious account is at the Head Office of La Caixa in Barcelona.
I contacted La Caixa in Torrevieja where the Aldea account is held, only to be told that the electronic transfer is none of their business, and, for reasons of Client confidentiality (Aldea's !!) that I should contact Aldea directly.
When I stated that Aldea no longer take telephone calls, or reply to e-mails, I was politely informed, sorry - no can help!.
So, in my case, I will have to wait until the next time I am Torrevieja to present myself in person to try to get some straight answers as to what is going on.
In the interim, for anyone comtemplating transfering monies electronically to Aldea in Torrevieja, it seems that all monies are destined to go into a special account in H.O. in Barcelona.
I can only assume that this "special" account is some sort of holding account, designated under Court direction, and administered by La Caixa on behalf of the Administrator, pending conclusion of formal Court procedings in relation to Aldea.
So, where we go from here, heaven only knows, but I would appeal to all to keep this thread going and continue to post info. as we try to put the peices of the jigsaw together.
Best wishes for now.
