I absolutely agree with the comments…
I absolutely agree with the comments about scam, BLS knows it takes 6 weeks for a visa, minimum. Spanish consulate are equally guilty as they are failing to meet article 23 810/2009 EU. Problem is the consulate is failing to deliver and also guilty of not stating their failure to meet 15 days. BLS is far worse they are charging and scamming people, and trying to hide behind 45 days which is not the criteria, it is decision in 15 days and 45 if you need to provide more paperwork. BLS have a notice and have stated there own opinion of the arrival 23 on there window and have a sign in bright red blaming the consulate. BLS are knowing taking money in full knowledge you will not get a visa to your holiday if under six weeks, how do I know because I spoke face to face with the consulate who inform me this is the case and Madrid are not issuing visas and it's been months. BLS London is a scam and I am suspicious that reviews on their website are fake, considering the number of complaint on Facebook, here and other review sites.
