Debt collection

We have a broad experience in debt collection in Spain through Amicable Settlements and Court Cases obtaining an important number of favourable Court Decisions.
Before starting proceedings we will attempt to reach an agreement by contacting the debtor as it may be interesting for you to negotiate with the debtor and try to reach an amicable agreement prior to issuing any legal proceedings against him/her, for instance by sending a Letter Before Action.
If it is not possible to reach an amicable settlement it is necessary to take legal actions against the debtors. Under Spanish Law there are the following types of proceedings:

  • Ordinary proceedings: for debts exceeding Euros 3.005, or when the amount of the claim cannot be determined in advance.
  • Verbal proceedings: for debts not exceeding Euros 3.005.
  • "Monitorio": for debts not exceeding Euros 30.005, being the debt supported by any of the following documents:
    • Documents concerning the debt signed or stamped by the debtor.
    • Invoices, delivery notes, telegrams or telefax.
    • Documents proving the existence of the debt accompanied by documents determining the existence of a commercial relationship between the parties.
    • Debts to the Community of Neighbourgs when certifications of non payment have already been issued.
  • "Cambiario": claims which are supported by any of the following documents:
    • Bill of exchange.
    • Cheque.
    • Promissory note.
  • Executive proceedings: claims which are supported by any of the following documents:
