Unfortunately I must say that taking someone to court in Spain is pretty useless. They declare themselves bankrupt and you have to pay the court, attorney, and all possible fees, just with the -rather useless- hope that in 10 years time (and checking regularly will cost you either your time or further attorney fees, as it does not happen automatically) this person has something you can take.

My experience is that someone owes you money in Spain your only option is to sit in front of their homes for some days with a BIG banner with the person's name and explain your situation to the porters, postman, local police and neighbours. Only if his/her face value in his/her local community is in danger then the person will feel inclined to pay. Everything else does not work over here.

A good and valuable (!) post. Fully agree with you, Tomás.

What do you think about the agencies that pay 60 days after the job is done? Do such conditions suit you? I personally reject such proposals.
