I have been ripped off to the tune of 3 million Forints by another British Expat. I was trying to help him as he was due to have his house in Hungary re-possessed. I agreed to lend him this money on the condition that the loan be secured against the house. He arranged for his solicitor in Siofok to draw up the loan agreement and we went to the solicitors office, signed the documents and I drew the money from the bank for him. I was a bit dismayed when the solicitor explained that we would have to do the legal stuff in 2 stages and that I would have to go back at a later date to sign the documents regarding the security against the house. This was several months ago and the loan is still unsecured. The man does not answer his phone when I try to ring him and he does not reply to emails. He answers his phone to other people and I have left messages asking him to contact me. I mainly blame the solicitor and wondered if I can report him for malpractice?
