Hi Lynn,
it’s a good point you raised about community fees, only a couple of months ago I found out that my fees had not been paid from 2018 to 2020, but they had been paid correctly by the bank from 2020 to 2022, but not prior to that. I had absolutely no idea, I naturally paid the outstanding community fees as soon as I found out (only found out by coincidence !) But additionally I had to pay another 500 euros to halt the legal proceedings that the administrators had started against me. It transpired that they had an incorrect email address provided by my solicitor which they claim they had used to inform me about the debt, also claimed they had posted to my community post box, never received ! . Bottom line, some official bodies will take the easy way out, and never admit to anything possibly being their fault, or even being a contributing factor. There was definitely fault with regard to my solicitor and also my bank, who somehow started paying my community fees two years after they should, without any prompting from me. And also the administrators must have had rejected emails from the non existent email account and could have tried harder, rather than taking the easy option and just starting legal proceedings, which could have ended up god knows where had I not found out by accident and contacted all of the above parties to resolve the matter. Wasn’t worth the hassle to try and attribute any blame, just paid up and put it down to experience, Spanish experience. So yes, Brian needs to check on his community fees as well, good point.
