The FAKE lawyers companies, Abogados Asesores Gomez and Abogados Herranz are not only cold calling, they also approach the consumers by letter.
The initial contact is made to inform the timeshare consumer that they are handling their case regarding the malpractice and mis selling they suffered in the past from bogus resale companies and dubious discount clubs.
Once the consumer’s attention has been caught and calls to the office of these (fake) lawyers Abogados Asesores Gomez, a person by the name of “ Jennifer Bayliss” presents herself as the lawyer of this company who will be handling the case.
Ms Bayliss sends paperwork to apply to the Court for the case to be heard. She helps the consumer to complete the forms and translates the documents, and sent these to the court as their professional representative.
Once the case is accepted and the funds put into a holding account the consumer has to pay court fees of £1100 otherwise the funds cannot be released to the consumer and the court would chase them for non-payment!
But when the court fees have been paid, there is another slight “hiccup” with the pay out as before the consumer also needs to apply to a Tax Office in Spain to make a tax declaration.
This tax declarations needs to be done by a Spanish Accountant and obviously the consumer needs to pay the accountant.
Luckily Ms Bayliss from Abogados Asesores Gomez and Abogados Herranz can recommend an accountant!
For some reason there doesn’t seem to come an end to all the fees and expenses that need to be paid prior to receiving the court awarded money….
Sounds familiar?
It certainly does! And the end is only when the consumer finally realizes there is no money awarded and they are speaking to fake lawyers!
