We are still here because we have had to spend thousands getting our house registered because our corrupt solicitor was so busy taking hand shakes from the estate agents and others that they forgot to mention the building wasn't registered and you will have problems when you decide to sell..........

.......thats why we are still here!

That is very unfortunate and I am sorry for your situation. However, again, that is not a reason to condemn an entire country, legal framework, tradespeople or, indeed, the entire legal profession, however much one may sympathise with your personal position.

I agree entirely, Jigsaw, however, if you refer to earlier posts, it will be evident that others are not so precise.

I’m sure they have their reasons.   I also so.  I have been dropped off by so many builders , companies.  Almost every person I know here has.  It’s a regular thing … this does not occur where I am from and id it does you have easy legal recourse.   Either at the post of about Jose Vives Binder    Business “

Because you try to give the benefit of the doubt. They all talk a good game.  When you hire a legit business, you should feel safe and secure. I can tell you in Canada , a legit business would never pulls this crap. Blatantly steal from you the. Ignore you or legal requests.   I live Sp...

...ain and have been here for many many years. Unfortunately it’s a country where between people and even government agencies you get ripped off. I try to neve have to have things done herr, but at times you do and you have 50/50 chance to be scammed or poor quality work done. Even Spanish people from other parts of Spain shake their heads at how work is conducted in this region.  It’s sad and gives people and country a bad name.    Either way. Scum bag thief’s should be posted so others are not also scammed.    Maybe they will stop if the $ stops. 

People are good and bad everywhere. I had awful experiences in UK as well as good ones. Same in every Country, same when I have lived in France.

It would be not fair to say that all the English businessman are bad and try to scam me, as well as not all the Spanish are bad.

I have found here plenty of wonderful and honest people too, doing the job in time, following the quote and respecting the time given.

About Canada , maybe it is not so wonderful, taking in consideration the feedback that you have left to a lawyer, I am sorry that you have found  another scammer there too. 

I wish you more luck in the future 🍀

Hello

 Oh well said Stephanie86, I ask myself that question everyday after reading   replies on here by some members.  It is continuous, covers every aspect of life in Spain and is quite boring  - If these people  moved,   it would deny them the opportunity to mo...

...an about everything ...which I think they actually  enjoy!

Yes.  I enjoy getting ripped off of my hard earned money amd countless weeks of stress (months when doing a reform) to make a post here.

I see you like to search people’s internet posts. 

Yes. I had a bad experience with a poor lawyer for a sale in Canada a few years back. I posted so others would not share the same experience. Same as I post + reviews all over for searches well done.  I don’t always post when a buisness provides the service they charge for, but I will post if they steal my money and / OR DONT do the services they were paid for. Especially if it can help others locally not get ripped off. 

Thank you for taking the time to look me up and post. It only validates the true claim again this scum bag as the Canada review wasn’t about money. They didn’t charge, they simply wasted our time to make deadlines.  Need less to say they weren’t hired.     Glad I can clarify that for you.        Nowhere have I slammed any type or nationality of worker… simply posted the company and man locally who took my money and ran and yet still continues to work here.

Here’s the post you wanted to troll about fro. 3 years ago. You can also read the other 300+ reviews on the company.    Yes some shit people every. They did no take my money and run. They simply water my time not following deadlines.   Glad I could clarify why I leave negative reviews time to time to warn people from my Own personal experiences.   ( the whole point )

Troll? Oh my, sorry if I smile 😃 don’t you think it is a bit excessive? 🙈

I do not like the term ‘to search’, I like to get informed as I sadly have met  very few of you in the real life. 
It doesn’t mean that I do not believe your words, I am just sorry that you had problem previously so I do not get your reaction.

Strange that it sounds like you toke it like an offense when it was not.

I was not judging, nor describing your legit feedback nor doubting of your words.

Internet is public, if you feel offended that people look at your public feedbacks maybe it is better to not to post them. Just my humble opinion, obviously.


On the other side I have thanked you privately already for the advice the other day.

I wish you a fab week and I am going to ‘turn page’ from this post.  🙂
