How Many Days to Homelessness? – A Retraction

This is a retraction of the countdown as it is now official that the auction of my property will now take place on 21st January 2009 NOT as was stated on the 16th December 2008 by Reyes Gómez Llorente of De Cotta McKenna and Santafé.

The auction is a “public auction” but to date no-one except you, Torrox Court and DeCotta Law know about it and at present it seems set to remain that way. However, as more and more of you are reading this I have a suspicion that may change. However, if any of you are more successful in finding out how to register and bid at the “public auction” please let me know. I will be happy to publish it here and we’ll invite as many people along as possible. Let’s make it an auction party!

A retraction has been called for by Sandra Wrightson of De Cotta McKenna y Santafé  for “factual errors and defamatory allegations“. Of course, these will be withdrawn once it is established to what it is she refers (and she has been invited to do so ). DeCotta Law further request that this blog should “withdraw these statements and allegations immediately to prevent the need for further action.”  Notice the threat, did you? You can write your comment on this blog Mrs. Wrightson if you like.

 

But what of the real matter in hand? It appears I was correct in a previous post about lack of communication because as she puts it, “This firm cannot enter into correspondence with you regarding the judicial proceeding as we act for Valerie Russell”  Well, as I have no legal representation who the hell do they correspond with? More of this later…

 

A retraction has also been asked for by B.R. True, Sworn Translator, who had this blog brought to his attention. He wants a retraction for “publishing my name in a derogatory manner”.  No prizes for guessing who brought this blog to his attention.

Well Mr. True, writing to me stating…

“I have checked my records and you are indeed right.  Subparagraph iv) a) and Paragraph 3. made the whole order rather confusing, but I did mistranslate item ii), which should have read  “representación letrada del demandado”.  I sincerely regret this mistake, which is a sad exception in my 21 years of unblemished experience.”

…and me reporting the fact is hardly derogatory.

You made a mistake, admitted it like a man and confessed to your  “sad exception”.  But remember, your mistake in a legal translation may be instrumental in me losing my house and home. You too Mr True are offered the same courtesy of a retraction and of course, you may also comment here if you like.

22 Days to Homelessness – DeCotta Law Closed?

DeCotta McKenna and Santafé seems to be closed, at least today, Jon Sutton is unavailable for a couple of weeks,  Maria Carmagnole  is absent and Mrs Sandra Wrightson’ email doesn’t work at least not today. Has DeCotta McKenna and Santafé succumbed to the harsh financial climate and closed ? I suspect not.

But DeCotta Law does have closed ears. It seems they do not want to listen to questions let alone answer them when I am asking about false information given to my buyer, mistranslation of an important document and asking how they can claim  “we have had the court order legalised and translated into Spanish” 6 full days before it was stamped as translated by the Sworn Translator. Perhaps they’ll walk on water next!

24 Days to Homelessness – Reflections

Saturday and I was not expecting anything to happen and it didn’t.

After the events of recent weeks and months the stress can be felt. Never mind though, we are all pulling through a tough time one way or the other. It is not the idyllic life people sometimes imagine living in Andalucia especially through these tough economic times.

Its time for some reflection and to count some blessings. I have the support of my fiancee, family and friends for which I am very grateful. Things could be a lot worse.

25 Days to Homelessness – or was DeCotta Law wrong?

DeCotta Law Lawyer or “Abagado” , Reyes Gómez Llorente, seems to have got it wrong!

After visiting Torrox Court again today I have been told the date of the “public auction”. I can catagorically tell you that is NOT been set for the 16th of December 2008 as was previously stated by Reyes Gómez Llorente of De Cotta Mckenna y Santafé in Nerja and perhaps more importantly it never was.

This now brings into question why does this lawyer not tell the truth? She told a potential buyer of my property on the 3rd November 2008 this … I reprint the e-mail sent to “Buyer” from …De Cotta Mckenna y Santafé.

To BUYER

 

 

Dear Mr Buyer, 

 

Thank you for your email.

 

I inform that the property belongs to Mr Kirwan and Mrs Russell at 50%. Due to a debt that Mr Kirwan has to pay to Mrs Russel there is a Court case. The Judge has ordered that the 50% of the property that belongs to Mr Kirwan is sold by puclic auction on the 16th December.

Hmm…

 

 

I ask myself, is it correct, is it fair, is it ethical and most importantly is it legal that De Cotta Mckenna y Santafé can give out such misleading information?

 

Or am I just “tasting my time” as Reyes Gómez Llorente of DeCotta Law put it?
