Well after 12 months ........ we have had very little progress on Sandalet and have been informed by a contact living in Turkey that our developer has been made bankrupt.
Yet to have this confirmed by R2i (who according to their letter to me "maintain an active role in developments after they have been sold ensuring that buyers investments are protected" - yeah, thanks for that you've been invaluable!)
Our Turkish lawyer wrote 10 days ago that she would have answers shortly - good, as we only have 30 days to file our claim - but then disappeared too.
Situation is we owe them our 20% balances on completion - but they owe us 29% in late payment penalties. So we need to ask for our 29%, incase they ask for their 20%. And, so we have money available to get someone else to complete the development and put right all their shoddy work.
I know the Developer is trying to persuade people not to mention Sandalet to the Receivers and then they will finish it for us (not that they've managed this in 29 months)My worry is that the lawyer will be persuaded by them and fail to register us as creditors. This is our one chance to register, if we dont, thats it over.
So my question is:
Does this have to be a complex letter to the court detailing the claim and showing onerous amounts of secretive paperwork (as the lawyer makes out).
Or can we just initially write a letter saying we are owned £x and attach the contact with Yapi?
Anyone know anything about bankruptcy in Turkey?
