Written opposition to a proceso monitorio (order for payment procedure) (LEC 815-818)

Written opposition to a proceso monitorio (order for payment procedure) (LEC 815-818) is filed with Juzgado de Primera Instancia que tramita el monitorio (presentación por el deudor en el propio juzgado o en su sede judicial electrónica). With Managora you do it 100% online: you answer a few questions, sign a digital mandato (power of representation) and we draft, sign and file your recurso (appeal) for you. Estimated total cost: €49 to €49.

We draft your written opposition to the monitorio, fully reasoned and ready for you to file within the 20 working days following the payment demand. For claims of up to 2.000 € the law requires neither an abogado nor a procurador: you file it at the court yourself, and with what we hand you the matter is dealt with. We work with every ground of opposition: the debt does not exist, the debt has already been paid, limitation, forged documents, and unfair terms in consumer contracts, whether the opposition is total or partial. Important: if the claim exceeds 2.000 €, the law requires the document to be signed by an abogado and a procurador, and the subsequent hearing (juicio verbal up to 6.000 €, ordinario above that) always requires a procurador and is not included in this service.
