Nasty Suprise

Some weeks ago two ladies from the department of Social Security arrived at the office, bringing with them a letter, which was a demand for a payment in excess of 3000 Euro. This demand was for payment due for the employment of a cleaner on Mi Sol Park. Pepe pointed out to them that Mi Sol had not employed this lady, she had in fact been employed by Antonio Escudero using the official fiscal number of Mi Sol. This cleaner had not been employed by Mi Sol during the time period in question.

Pepe visited the offices of Social security in Orihuela, again explaining that Mi Sol had not employed the cleaner and that it was the responsibility of Antonio Escudero to pay the outstanding amount.


Recently another letter was delivered to Mi Sol demanding payment of the above amount and advising that a substantial fine would be added if the demand was not paid shortly. The matter was discussed by the committee and Pepe, it was decided that this money would have to be paid from Mi Sol funds, despite the fact that Mi Sol itself had not incurred the debt. It was also agreed to investigate how Mi Sol could reclaim this amount from Antonio Escudero and his supporters. It is quite clear that as a Government agency the department of Social Security are not interested in the internal dispute of Mi Sol, they just want to collect the money that is due to them. It seems that the cleaner in question retired some months ago and is now happily collecting her State pension.

Pepe also told the committee that he had in his possession copies of documents signed by Antonio Escudero on behalf of Mi Sol, using a false fiscal number.

I am trying to get a copy of the latest letter from the department of Social security so that it can be posted here.
