Hi it's costing me a fortune for a solicitor to hold keys to my apartment in Sofia and pay a couple of bills. Anyone know of a reputable English speaking person that would do this for a reasonable price?

Martygall, what is a reasonable price to you? Does it have to be English speaking?

martygall - are you for real? You've got to be kidding me!!! This is a quite hefty check for someone just for collecting your bills and paying them! I assume the actual expenses for the utilities are not included in the 250?! Ok, if you are still interested, please let me know. I have few folks I know there, English speaking, can help out, or if you do not mind a middleman - me, bilingual, then there are more folks, that wouldn't even mind light cleaning once/month for this fee. PM me.

Hi worldpat the bill I get yearly is heavy and utilities as I said are only about 10 as the flat is not rented. I am doing this for my son, so will need to get in touch with him and get back to you. Do you live in the city?

Hey martygall, I sent you a pm, just check it out and let me know. No, I live in Brussels, but used to live in Cork, and many years ago in Bulgaria, Sofia was one of the cities. PM me your land line phone so I could call in Ireland so we may talk more about it.

No problem buddy, it is an abbreviation for personal message. On the right upper corner of this web page there is a link Inbox, click on it and you will see the messages you have received. Just reply to my last one with your landline phone and I will call. Actually, I just hung up with my friend in Cork... funny...
