what a mess advice please

[fred]

I have no expertise in any of these matters..What I will say is take a deep breath and listen to Terpe..

Also,be VERY careful whom you pay money to in the R.P whom say they are there to "help".

There are countless amounts of experts,lawyers,judges etc that will take advantage of your situation/desperation and will continue to rob you blind..

I realize that this situation is really stressful and desperate for you at this time but my advice for you is to calm down and look at things rationally and with a calm resolution.

I`m certain that there is a way through this maze that you find yourself in but please slow down,read through this thread again and deal with the issues step by step.. DONT send any more money as these people can smell your desperation and are planning other routes (as we speak) to depart you with more..

Good advice Fred!

Cheers Micheal..
Common sense really... (having been involved with this place for so long)..
The biggest problem of trying to help decent ,honest people from the UK with no experience of the Philippines in situations like this is trying to persuade them of how corrupt its officials and so called professionals can be and how little empathy they possess in these stressful/life changing situations unless there is a pile of cash via money gram or western union etc ready to arrive.
When things get messy,they can get potentially very expensive here.. It really is time to take stock and for him to accept advice from our guys here on Filipino UK.. Hopefully,thats what will happen in this case.
Fred.
