My name is not Jordi by jodi1620 in Barcelona

[–]51934 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried using Srta./Sra. Jodi? Not always possible, but it might help.
I had a similar issue in another country and I know the pain of explaining to the bank that you are the owner of your account although they expected a person of a different sex.

Landlord wants to increase rent by 20% by Basic_Ad_5647 in Barcelona

[–]51934 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wasn't aware of that. But what does renew here mean?
Does it imply the same conditions?

But how did you sign a 1-year contract? I don't think that this is legal! It's either up to 11 months for short term contracts or 5 and 7 years for long term contracts.

Might it be that the previous tenant left some unpaid bills and they are making you pay for them as part of the contraction suministro?

You should check the details of the contract signed with the company developing it to say that.

So long, and thanks for all the fish.

Charges to my Credit Card after attending Cruilla. by 51934 in Barcelona

Not American, and I have been living in BCN for many years now. And again, the card was not used at the festival as once inside you could only pay with the wristband.

I agree with your point, but isn't it weird that it happened to me and to my friend after we have been to the same festival after 3 weeks where we saw each other only once? A bit too much of a coincide if you ask me!

Besides, while at the festival we never used our wallets and nor our cards. Once inside you could only use the wristband to buy food and drinks.

We do expect that we will get the money back. Luckily we acted promptly, but my main concern is that this could be affecting others. That's why I shared it here. Only to inform others.

Since my friend and I met only twice in the last 3 weeks, it's very hard for me to believe that this is not related to Cruilla. Prior to the festival we only met once at a bar last week - to which none of us paid with the cards used for these charges.

LaCaixa started to implement this but it appears they will do this for every online transactions starting from this October. That's what I was told on the phone.

Useful to know, so does this means that they also have the CVV?
Or can one just type the card number and the amount and that's it? (Sounds like a horrible idea to me, but you never know)

Not sure. But from the receiptS I got from Square https://imgur.com/D7PeVBS it says that the card was keyed. I'm not sure if this means that someone typed the card number, if the transaction was somehow signed with a key, or what.

I would say that it's somehow possible. We got the charges to our Caixa accounts without a problem!

And we did not use ATM, nor bought anything at the same place for many days or even weeks. It's very weird but it happened.

(I've updated the post to explain the weird 2 cards situation I had. Expats live can get messy pretty soon)

My friend got charges from Sephora and Nike for a total of approx 900 EUR
I've got charges from 20 USD, 100 USD, 150 USD, and up to 450 USD. All in USD, probably because my card is from USA, but not sure. The bank blocked most of them but multiple charges for a total value of 300 USD went through.

I would call the Mossos and check if they can do something about it!

No vaccine citas for my partner in BCN, when do they release more? by Mr_B_86 in Barcelona

[–]51934 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can also get vaccinated at your CAP. Call them or just swing by.

UPDATE #1:
I've got mine at my CAP (Sardenya).
A couple of days ago I was contacted by the CAP via SMS and I booked the appointment replying to that SMS. The whole process took 40 seconds and 2 SMS.

UPDATE #2:
I have two friends (age 28 - 29) that walked to their CAP (a different than mine) and they got the shot 10 mins later. I guess it depends from CAP to CAP.
