Pre-action Debt Claim

Before any lawsuit, the law asks you to try to recover the debt amicably, and we will do it for you.

We will claim your debt by certified communication and negotiate a settlement.

§ 1

Approach

In 2024, debt collection agencies in Spain recovered around €9.2 billion amicably, 71.5% of everything they collected, according to ANGECO.

A demand that leaves a trail

We will send your claim by certified electronic communication, which proves its content and date of delivery and will serve as evidence if the matter reaches court.

A negotiation with method

We will choose the dispute resolution method that best fits your case and negotiate with the debtor so that you are paid as soon as possible.

The legal requirement, met

Since 2025, an attempt to settle is required before filing a claim. If the debtor does not pay, the attempt will be on record and you will be able to go to court.

Process

How the engagement unfolds

Initial Consultation

A 60-minute working session by video call in which we analyse your situation, your specific needs and our ability to help you. We assess whether we can take on the matter and give you the fixed price in advance. You can book it directly through the Google Calendar link on our website and pay €90 by Stripe.

Formal Demand

A demand for payment sent by certified electronic communication, which proves its content, sender and date of delivery, interrupts the limitation period and will serve as evidence in any later proceedings.

Mandatory Pre-Litigation ADR (MASC)

A step required before court proceedings under Organic Law 1/2025 on measures for the efficiency of the Justice Service. Comprises the choice of a reasonable alternative dispute resolution mechanism, suited to the specific case and genuinely aimed at settlement, not merely at satisfying the admissibility requirement.

Team

Who handles it

David Sánchez Lorenzo, of counsel at PASSAS

I work where economic law meets technology: litigation, contracts and artificial intelligence systems. I am drawn to the ground where the rules are still being written, and I have brought that same rigour to litigation since my first year in practice.

Questions

What people ask before instructing this service

Why certified electronic communication?

It proves the content, the sender and the date of delivery, arrives instantly and serves as evidence if the matter ends up in court.

Is it mandatory to attempt a settlement before suing?

Yes. Since Organic Law 1/2025, evidencing an attempt to negotiate is a precondition for bringing most civil and commercial claims in Spain, and this engagement will put it on record.

From what amount is it worthwhile?

Our fees never exceed 20% of the amount at stake, so this service fits when you are owed at least €3,000.

What happens if the debtor does not pay?

We will hand you the file ready to bring a claim. If you are owed €10,000 or more, we can take on the litigation as a new engagement, with its own proposal.

How much does it cost?

From €600 + VAT. The exact figure is fixed in the engagement letter before you pay.
