I think everybody should be aware of this little trick. I was buying a property in Gran Canaria. The lawyer duly asked for and got a response from the property owners (block of flats). to the effect that the current owners 'owed nothing', except of course the current months debts which had not yet gone through the Direct Debit system. The owners than cancelled the DD immediately and I was left with the situation of not being able to vote at an AGM unless the debt was paid - so I paid it (150 +/- Euro) and then the last owners denied ever owing it so no recourse there! This has apparently happened to may forign owners within our block!!!
