I had some fantastic help and guidance from the forums and Unlock relating to having my convictions removed from my BASIC DBS check, due to the fact that they were officially classed as spent. Thank you everyone involved. 

I still have another issue, and I have attempted to contact Visa firms for assistance, but I do not seem to gain any ground.

My issue is that I am still being stopped on entry and exit in Spain, travelling to and from the UK. I am asked about the length of stay, address, and phone number. They take a photo the 'screen' information, my passport and boarding pass, often asking for my return pass also.

When I was successful in having my conviction noted as spent, I also managed to contact UK Border Force, and I am now no longer stopped on return into the UK I pass through the automated barriers like any other person.

Can anyone please point me in the right direction as to how I can have whatever notice I have on me removed in the EU? I do not mind if this is an expert, a legal representative or a consulate, etc., I just need some hope that I can remove the stress and anxiety I feel every time I travel to see family and friends.

My logic is that if I am no longer of interest to UK Borders, I should not have issues with the Spanish border? 

ANY help is gratefully received. Thank you.
