I've just returned from London after a second attempt at closing my Sabadell Account. They are the most difficult,awkward,inflexible organisation its been my misfortune to deal with.

My only advice would be to steer well clear of Sabadell. My time in Spain is now over and the stress of getting out was made ten times worse by this incompetent Spanish Bank. I'd banked for years with no problems with Banco Halifax &  then Lloyds but my troubles started with Sabadell and will hopefully soon be resolved.

Most of the people using our Pool in Los Alcazares would appear very familiar with the inside of a jail...

Last year I sold my place in Spain but had to keep open a spanish bank account in order to receive the tax retention at some future date. 

Meanwhile Lloyds International had sold out to Sabadell.  I cannot now access my account online because they failed to send me the security grid despite me requesting it several times. When I call them they won't even tell me my balance and say I must come to the Branch in Los Alcazares.(needless to say I am in the UK) I have sent copy passport i/d three times to them but they still won't help me. The odd time they send me a written statement they are taking fees out despite no direct debits or withdrawals out of the account.  What a frustrating set of incompetents this bank is.

Also I was informed that I was to get my retention back after paying a small fine for one years unpaid la renta. I paid my solicitor in spain to sort out the fine and recover the retention. Needless to say Manana is the order of the day and he says I must wait,keep my dwindling account open..

Screwed from every direction -this merely re-inforces my decision to sell my property in Spain as there corrupt, lapsadazical attitude was driving me mad. Disengaging any ties with Spanish property ownership is like handing your wallet to a total stranger.

I am about to repatriate my euros to ££. I am planning on using Currencies Direct who link into La Caixa & don't charge any fees to handle the transaction but still get a good FX rate..I could do without the stupid Governor of the Bank of England sending the £ higher with his utterances -jerk..

So far currencies Direct have been very professional & helpful....
