I rented from Great Estates from April to September 2008, I put down 1600 Euro deposit, they have not refunded me this despite my emails telephone calls and threats of legal action.
Colin Smith the director lied to me about putting the money in my account, Carmen Gil one of the staff who I was emailing is telling me they cant get the money from the owner depite my contract with GE, Amy one of the Essex girls who took our deposit, (who moonlights at the Jolly Sailor in the port ) was no help at all.
I dont really know what to do next, I've emailed Maria de Castro at costa luz lawyers, so I will carry on and see what happens.
If it was a case of going around the corner and demanding my money from slippery Colin Smith, it would be OK, however the flights hotels etc for me to travel from UK would cost more than my deposit.
