Posts: 187You just will NOT FIND ANY lawyer-
- for amounts like that.
If a lawyer writes a Carta Documento for you, he charges in between 150 to 250 Pesos. Usually you need two CD, as they may answer the first = P.S. 300.500.
If he achieves a deal without going to court he will charge 2000 to 4000 P.S.
If he has to go to court, at least P.S. 4000.- plus 15 to 20 % of the result.
That is why they are doing nothing as they know, you will not find anyone.
Forget the money, it is never away, just somebody else has it.

It may leave a sour taste in your mouth, but unless Argentina law makes MC and / or LAN liable for your legal fees, the cheapest alternative is probably just to walk away, and chalk it up to experience.

Posts: 416LAN, in Argentina, have ripped me off by taking more cash than they should have from my Argentinian Mastercard issued by HSBC, in Argentina, for tickets purchased in Argentina for flights from Argentina. I live in Argentina. Everything I own, everything I do, is in Argentina. I have no connections with the USA (and never have). I no longer have any connections with the UK, having only even visited once in the last 6 years.
I think, what I need, is an Argentinian lawyer!
I would hope, as WW suggests, that a letter 'threatening' legal action from a lawyer will hopefully be enough. They've been passing the buck, blaming each other, for the last 6 months and they're no longer listening to anything that I'm saying.

PM Miami Bob and if he feels so inclined, he might provide you with a good one.
It's none of my business but, the amount in question would need to be fairly large to make this worth while. Also, the suggestion of doing it in the USA, if possible, is a good one. The legal system in Argentina makes the US look fast and efficient. Also, the outcome is often determined before things get started, if you know what I mean.

Anybody know of a local lawyer with a knowledge of finance?
I'm in an ongoing fight with LAN and Mastercard that's gone round in enough circles and it's time to go legal on their arses.
