I was in the property when they forced the door . I'm well into my seventies.  They attacked me and I'm still recovering from the injuries. 

The guardia allowed them to stay in the house

Oh no, you mean you were actually there sitting inside your own home and they came in and kicked you out !! WTF***

You haven't told us where exactly you are, in the city, Alicante, Torrevieja, out in the sticks, in an Urbanisation ?

There is the 48 hour law concerning squaters, if you catch them squatting in the first 48 hours the police have the power to remove and arrest them. And if that's the case and the guardia civil didn't do their job you can go to the police and thus prove you acted inside the 48 hours by calling the GC which were negligent and retrospectively have them kicked out, take a spanish speaker with you

Squatters broke into my house and the Guardia civil  were informed within a few hours but they did nothing but offer the squatters assistance  .

Most of my possessions have been stolen and sold .

I have been told not to return to my house, and that I will have to pay for their expenses. 

Can I complain about the Guardia Civil treating me like a criminal?

Yes. 

It's not safe sitting in your own house .

I did complain to the Guardia Civil and they've done nothing about it .

I need to complain to a higher authority .

Abro, you've given your forum location as Torrevieja, I presume that's where you have your property. I know some Brits there who might be able to help. Abro sounds Spanish in which case that's even worse, 70 year old robbed and made homeless in his own country by his own countrymen

I'm just wondering if this post from Abro is genuine? Making melodramatic statements like "it's not safe to live in your own house" & pointing out that he's quite elderly,  could be some warped attempt to deter Brits and/or others from buying properties or moving to the area. The facts, ...

... as presented by the OP,  I personally find hard to believe. I notice that Abro only joined the forum 2 days ago. That in itself may be completely innocent & of course,  I could be totally wrong, however, these were my initial thoughts.
