Does anyone have the telephone number of the boiler man, he may be from Fuente area. Needed here on Camposol. Thankyou.

I received the following information via e mail. Does anyone know if this is true and has anyone opted for another provider ?? If you use more than 10kw of electricity (shown on your bill…if you actually get one that is) then you need to go and register at one of their dedicated outlets and either sign up with another company or, once again, with Iberdrola. If you don’t the cost of your electricity will be upped by 20% every time you receive a bill. Those who are consuming less than 10kw will still pay more for their supply if they fail to register but at the lesser rate of 5%.The company, which mad 9 billion net profit in the first nine months of last year defends the increases and points out that it is the government who have set the rate not the provider itself.For more information or contact details in English try their website www.iberdrola.es

Hi all, new to this site so please be gentle with me. Can anyone give me some recommendations for satellite installation companies in the Mazarron area? If possible, I'd like two or three names so that I can compare but don't want ripped off by some cowboy company. Cheers all.

Has anyone been in contact recently, or used the services of Simon - 'Man with a Van'?My mother hired him to move her to the UK in October this year and is very upset with the service he provided, as he lost a box with lots of personal items that are irreplaceable and of sentimental value. It appears, he has no insurance. He has failed to return her calls and has a total lack of respect towards following up queries.My mother is a pensioner on state pension and has been very upset with the 'treatment, or lack of it' she has received. Since investigating further I have spoken to a number of his ' acquaintances' and ex-partner, who tell me he has done a 'runner' and owes money 'left, right and centre'! If anyone is in contact with him and could supply me with information it would be much appreciated.Be warned...
