Mindtimeshare Cold Caller November 2015
There seems to be an increase again in companies who are offering so called “legal services” or claim to be connected to genuine lawyers / solicitors.
Although “cold calling” on itself is not illegal, there is though something to say about solicitors who accept clients approached in the first place by a cold caller.
In the UK, Solicitors who accept claims obtained by cold calling are in breach with the Solicitors Regulation Authority publicity rules.
In Spain a Notary office will never call a client to “inform” that there is money awarded and waited to be transferred to his bank account.
Neither will an official entity such as the court, the tax offices etc. ask for a fee to be paid upfront in order to release awarded money, and never ever would this be into an account under an individual’s name.
It might all sound very repetitive, but unfortunately each month we see these new cold callers telling their “to good to be true” stories, and consumers who fall for this or are seriously considering to go ahead and pay them what they are asking for.
This month’s 16 new company names are:
1-2-1 Mediation
APS Financial
Blanco Saavedra
Central Notary Marbella
Craig Douglas Associates
DN Woolf Association
Estepona Travel SL
Hamilton & Leighton Solicitors SL
Icatf Online lawyers
Liberty Chase
Outlet Viajes
Ownership Release Services ltd ORS
Palacio de Justicia
Parker Associates
Serban & Associates

I have been contacted by the central notary Marbella indicating that money is held in a Spanish Court Award Fund for me and to arrange transfer of the money I am required to make a payment of £780 to a lawyers account – Kevin Long. I have searched the internet and cannot locate either him or the Central Notary Marbella. Please confirm that this again is a sc**.
If you require further information please let me know.
Had a phone call today from Andrew at Craig Douglas Associates saying he was ringing about a landmark case involving Diamond Resorts International whereby we could possibly get compensation. We got rid of our DRI membership over 4 years ago so this was obviously rubbish and I see they are on the latest COLD CALLER list.
I received a call from Mark of Craig Douglas Associates yesterday Tel 01908410211 offering to put me in solicitors abroad who sue your time share company for miselling. All they require is a copy of your contracts to confirm if you have a claim. Became suspicious when this sounded to good to be true.
I was called today on my mobile by a company called Soloutions offering to claim compensation for timeshares this is their number 02031592138
