Hello Carol and Lisa. It is me my account got closed I think because I never use it. Unfortunately I am quite ill at the moment but I did hear from Fastline legal Services 2 weeks ago and they have confirmed that my case has won and that I should hear about receiving compensation within 8 weeks. This has come at the right time as I can now concentrate on getting better. I will let you know as soon as I get my money.


Mark, do not believe a word they say when it comes to timescales. It took 22months and 8 days for my compensation to reach me from money lost to Inside Track SL. When they notify you that its been successful, with all the red tape, it can still take 8-9 months. I also had to chase them a lot for updates and my payment was in Euros not pounds, which I was told, so lost some on conversion. They phoned me last week to see if I wanted to do the 2nd case but I said I would look around to see if It can be done quicker. If I find a quicker way will pass info on. Good luck but I think you should plan on getting your compensation next year.

To my knowledge there is only one company that has taken timeshare developers to court and won, and they are based in Gran Canaria. If you need to check the credentials of anybody who claims to be a lawyer ask for court papers from cases they have won and check with the courts in Spain or the relevant law societies. Also make sure you can contact the lawyers themselves and check their credentials.

There are a number of scams at the moment where people are duped into believing there is a court case happening on their behalf. They are then told that they have won the case. They are asked to transfer a payment to cover tax .... then .... nothing!

As with anything, do your due diligence and make sure you are dealing with a reputable organisation with a track record. Even better, take the number of the lawyers to a local solicitor and ask them to check them out. Better to be safe than sorry.

This is exactly what I thought when they first contacted me but I can tell you that they did provide their own lawyer details so I could perform my own checks. I did do this. After the experience that I, and others had, with MRI and their bogus claim company do you think that I would be stupid enough to not to do checks. I checked her on the bar association then contacted her direct for confirmation, I then checked that they are a bone fide legal company before I went ahead. I had everything in writing. I have not heard that any one has had to pay tax. I have read that compensation can take longer in some cases. If you read my earlier post you will find that it took some time and extra paperwork from my lender, as they declined my case on the first assessment, before I could prove that I had lost my money.
I understand that you wish to make people aware so that they do not get mis led but who are you? Do you have a case? Do you work for this firm in the Gran Canaria? Why would only 1 law firm be able to take a case to Court? (I believed the company in Durham was independent but found out that they were part of MRI) You have made other posts but not in reference to this thread so can I ask where your other posts have been posted and which subject. We also have to be aware that some firms are trying to gain business.
