Amicable Debt Collection: How It Works in Spain
When faced with an unpaid invoice, it is important to think carefully about the debt collection strategy you should use. In Spain, amicable debt collection is the most efficient way to start the process.
At our Spanish Debt Collection Agency, we understand the importance of amicable debt collection, and have managed to gain a thriving reputation for collecting overdue business invoices with great success rates. We work hard to make sure that every client gets their payment back in a timely manner, using our knowledge of Spanish legislation and modern ethical techniques.
How does amicable debt collection work in Spain? In most cases, amicable debt recovery begins with our agency sending a payment reminder letter or email by certified mail or fax. If we don't get a response after several reminders, then can issue legal proceedings such as through the court system.
Here's what you need to know about amicable debt collection in Spain:
- The debtor has 20 days from receipt of notification to respond
- At this stage, it is still possible that a settlement or payment plan can be agreed upon
- If no response is received within 20 days, then legal action can be taken against the debtor
- Legal action may include court appearances and garnishments of wages or assets
Legal Procedure Steps to Use Court Against Debtors
Even when using an amicable collection strategy, it may be necessary to take action in Court to have the invoices paid. Our agency is experienced in guiding creditors through the entire legal process, which includes:
- Preparing a demand letter to the debtor
- Filing suit in the appropriate court and obtaining a court order for payment
- If necessary, having a Notary International act as an interlocutor on behalf of the creditor
- Collecting evidence and obtaining witness testimony in support of the claim
- Embarking on legal process management including filing for attachments, garnishments and more
- Engaging in enforcement proceedings as needed against debtors who fail to pay after orders of payment have been issued
- Representing foreign creditors before attending hearing or trial proceedings
- Recovering any awarded costs from defendants found liable by the court
The collective expertise at our debt collection agency ensures that each step of the legal procedure is completed quickly with precision and care, giving our foreign clients peace of mind that their business invoices will be collected successfully in Spain’s jurisdiction.
