5 years ago i put down €100k 30% deposit on a place in spain. I understood that if i pulled out i would get back 50% of my deposit. As the property is now worth less than the €200K, i tried to do this I was informed by my lawyer that it was at the developer's discretion and that they said no.

After a couple of years I have come to terms with this loss of all my life savings. Now however I have a debt collection agency calling me to get me to pay the other 70%, i.e. €290K. My lawyers previously informed me that they couldn't do this, but now claim they told me they could.

I know that at least 60 other people are in the same boat on the estate.

Any advice to stop these people further destroying my life?
