- Our promise

Recover your money in Spain

Before you act, you need to understand. Not all debtors are the same - and applying the same strategy to all is the quickest way to waste time and money.

Four debtor profiles

The distracted debtor

You have liquidity and willingness to pay, but you do not control your maturities. A structured re-lending is enough to unblock payment.

The bad faith debtor

He simply does not want to pay. With this profile, the friendly way is a waste of time. We act directly through the courts.

The debtor in conflict

You can pay, but there is an underlying dispute with you that is blocking the process. The solution is to resolve the disagreement before demanding payment.

The insolvent debtor

→ You want to pay, but you can't. Here we work on a realistic payment plan that protects your business relationship and ensures the progressive recovery of your credit.

Legal procedures to collect collecting outstanding debts in Spain

There are two ways of claiming a debt, which are not mutually incompatible: the out-of-court or amicable way and the judicial way.

In any case, the ideal is always to find out the reason for non-payment. Sometimes non-payment may occur as a result of the debtor's lack of liquidity. At other times it may simply be due to passivity. In our experience, the two situations should be approached differently, which is discussed in the following section.

The figures for the Spanish market

Corporate debt in Spain reached 79.8% of GDP in the fourth quarter of 2022, following an increase of €18.5 billion in the same year. Household debt represented 58.4% of GDP in the same period.

In this context, waiting is not an option. The longer the time elapses without action, the more the chances of recovery deteriorate.

    Frequently asked questions about debt collection in Spain

    What are the costs and fees associated with debt collection?

    Our fees for out-of-court debt recovery services are based on success, in the form of a percentage of the amounts recovered.

    Moreover, we offer a uniform pricing policy to all our clients, regardless of the country where the debt recovery takes place.

    Debt recovery services in the judicial phase are subject to fixed fees, the amount of which is recovered by the client in the event that the claim is successful and the client is ordered to pay costs.

    The implementation of specific software and mechanisms for the certification of communications and online content, such as those used at Gimenez-Salinas, allow us to speed up the process, receiving the debtor's response in real time.

    Make it easy for us right from the start:

    → Complete contact details - telephone, email, address of the debtor and those responsible for the debtor.

    → Reason for non-payment - commercial dispute, liquidity difficulty, bad faith?

    Documentation of the debt - invoices, contracts, signed delivery notes, prior communications.

    With these elements, we design the most effective recovery scenario from the first contact - no time wasted, no missteps.
