A new alert goes out for a lawyer’s office called Bufete Juridico y Financiero Leon Cardenal.
These so called, “legal advisors” are cold calling mainly Dutch Timeshare owners, but possibly will expand to other nationalities. Their pitch is based on the fact that they claim the Spanish law has changed regarding timeshare purchase and the timeshare owner can claim money back through a court case.
The Dutch legal advisor calling is Mr. Jan van de Bosch en after the conversation by phone he kindly sends off an informative email where he also explains that in order for the Spanish Government to release the monies to the timeshare owner, they need a 10% of the costs upfront. And guess what? Leon Cardenal can take this money from the owner in order to arrange all.
Leon Cardenal, states in their paperwork that their office is based in Alicante, Calle de Granada 6 bajo A, 03001 Alacant.
The email address is leoncardenal@lawyers.com and they also have a website www.leoncardenal.com which was registered in July 2011 and completely in English, no Spanish or Dutch available.
For contact by phone they use a Spanish Mobile 0034608203310 and fax 0034966182492
Unfortunately as happens with most of the companies we mention on the blog, there is more to this story of Leon Cardenal than explained in the telephone conversation.
There are no lawyers offices registered in Spain under the name leon Cardenal, neither is there a lawyer registered in the official lawyers syndicate under the name Leon Cardenal.
There is no change in law, so there is no court case happening at all.
Leon Cardenal does have an additional explanation about the above, and claims to be working in association with a registered lawyer’s office called Arenas S.L.
Arenas S.L. has an address in Calle Somera 10, 2º, 29001 Málaga, telephone 0034 952210601 and Registration Number B29692837
This Lawyers office Arenas S.L. is in Malaga, one of the towns which are NOT mentioned on the websites of all the towns where Leon Cardenal claims to have offices!
Seen the above, we definitely want to alert all timeshare consumers of all nationalities about this lawyers office. Have you been approached by Mr. Van de Bosch or anybody claiming to be working for the Lawyers Leon Cardenal with phone number 0034 608 203 310 ? Please let us know.
