Anyone know how to file a denuncio for a repairman who does half a job and walks off with your money? Ages ago, Jer wrote:

" A "denuncia" is a report that you file with the consumer organizations here and they supposedly help you to get your $$ back or to make sure those things do not happen to you or others in the future."

Please tell us what/who are these consumer groups, and how guiris can get hold of them!

Peevishly (not at you!)

hey reb, did you actually pay him up front? nutz eeker

if so, that was a major mistake! i know hindsight is 20/20 but i am confused as i hace never had to pay a repairman or company up front for a job. perhaps things are different out there in the "extreme hard" wink

there are a TON of consumer orgs out there but i am afraid you cannot plead guiri on this one, you will have to do it the spanish way.

if you hit the...

"ASGECO
ASOCIACIÓN DE GENERAL DE CONSUMIDORES".

...lin it takes you to...

http://www.asgeco.org/index.php?option=content&task=blogsection&id=4&Itemid=46

in the "Más documentos" section there is a link to " Carta de reclamación de obras en viviendas en alquiler".

while yours is not a rental, i am sure if you look around the web more and/or write them, they will be able to point you in the right direction.

i also found http://www.sitiosespana.com/paginas/economia/defensa_al_consumidor.htm useful.

Jer, you are amazing indeed.

No, we didn´t pay them all up front, just bit by bit. Still, the job is unfinished. We still have a good chunk of the money, but we haven´t seen them in a week.

Gracias
