Need legal advice – Urgently
Hello everyone, I hope that someone in Digame circles can help me.
I was denied a telephone account today because I seem to have been blacklisted financially (at least with telephone companies).
I resigned my telephone connection with Jazztel last lear, and was disconnected mid November. They were still taking money out of my bank in January so I blocked all payments. In addition to this the telephone company had the landline owner remove the landline so no other operator can provide ADSL service.
I know of another person who has the same companiy taking money 12 months after the account was closed.
Is there any method or form of redress or anyone who can help me restore my name and get back money taken from the account for which the company are not entitled to remove?
Any legal advice or possibilty of redress would be appreciated.
Best regards Harry (Nerja)

Pig & Dog
Herewith just one of many similar emails received today expressing the same opinion. Subject now Closed. Editor
Good to read that they are not strays and that the are taken care of by the Spanish! So they are not all that bad.
Maybe it is good to ask around in the area before starting to write in this bad way about people.
I was apalled by how all Spanish were called in the first post of HW. And a little surprised that this was allowed in the blog.

Dogs on the beach
There seems to be confusion regarding dogs being allowed to be on the beach with there owners in winter…it used to be from Oct to April or May…..obviously not in the summer. But now police are saying they cannot be on there at all…..
So did it change? Gordon

Recommendation –computer repair man
I’d recently a laptop that was very slow, and a guy called Peter has fixed this problem at a fair price. There was also a problem with my tablet, and that has he fixed too.
He works on no cure, no pay base. When he can’t fix the problem, you only have too pay the cost of fuel.
He is very kind, and a expert with internet, computers, navigation and satellites. He knows a lot, and gives a very good service. He can also look at distance through internet at your computer with Teamviewer, and can see and fix sometimes the problem of your computer.
You can reach him at: torroxcostarental @ hotmail.com.
