Credit card
Hi all, I have recently bought a holiday home in Orihuela Costa and am in the process of appointing a company to undertake some works including installation of replacement doors. I am required to make a down payment equivalent to 50% of the total price which is a not an unsubstantial sum. My issue is that I would like to pay the deposit by credit card (and over the telephone as I am in London) to avail of the insurance protection it provides to consumers. However, I have been told by my supplier that remote payment with credit cards is illegal in Spain and that I would need to do this in person. Has anyone had this experience and are the statements being made to me on use of credit cards in Spain correct? Thanks in advance for any thoughts and views.
