71 yr old who was accommodated in unsuitable accommodation for the second time and told  "if it doesn't suit you Move, and the sooner the better, your only a troublemaker" got alternative accommodation in 2 hours . Would not give me back monies owed instead wanted my bank details to lodge money, which I refused to do. Told her I was not leaving, but she left without keys and I moved as planned. I am willing to pay for a solicitor whether English or any nationality as long as they have a licence to practice in Portugal.                                                      

Kind Regards                                                                             Joan Campion

Can’t help re solicitor but surely asking for your account number and bank is very normal as a way to pay money? It means she has proof she has paid it?

I suspect you could end up wasting a lot of money on a solicitor, they would have to do a consultation with you before agreeing to send a letter I would think?

Hi,

I agree with aspidistra - giving your bank details seems normal in PT.

However, if you do want to talk to a Portuguese lawyer (the whole office speak good English) I would recommend calling Veronica Pisco for some ( probably free ) advice on your best next steps.

Oh thank you I certainly will make that call.In Ireland we are definitely told not too.If she had cash to give me why go to the post office to send it,when all she had to do was hand it  to me and get a receipt.When people are in financial difficulties,one does,nt know what they will do and she is,

Thank you again,I am so happy in my new home,

Joan

I have been given a reputable lawyer who will take my case.I am a very positive person,yes I could take easy negative way out ,but I worked hard for 37 yrs as a nurse,and never took the attitude along with my colleagues to consider being negative,we would fight tooth and nail to save our patients,the day I take the easy way out I might as well throw in the towel.I have seen so much poverty here my 1000e would put food in kiddies stomach, food in a pregnant woman,s tummy to have a healthy baby,food in men's belly to have the strength to work to provide.

Kind Regards,

Joan
