Has anyone had any experience of using a spanish lawyer to get this clause removed from their mortgage.  I instructed lawyers who so say have a great success rate in acting for clients in these cases but I  instructed them back in September 2013 (I paid a fee up front together with paying for a power of attorney from a notary) and nearly six months on the case is apparently still with customer services at the bank, but I was under the impression that the bank had two months to respond and then it gets put before the Bank of Spain.  I have been e mailing and telephoning  the lawyers for more information but they do not answer - have I been scammed do you think?

Dear Maria

 

I have approached our spanish bank who have replied and said that they have looked at our agreement and, as it was signed  by us , the clause is not illegal and will stay.  they also said that we had a translator present at the Notary but I cannot remember this.  Does this make a difference?

HI

Banco Sabadell, who I have my mortgage with, have not yet removed the ground clause from my mortgage as per the ruling made by the Spanish Supreme Court in May.  Could anyone advise whether it would be best to contact the bank directly myself to discuss or would it be better to instruct a lawyer to deal with it?
