Second-chance debt relief in Spain

The Spanish second-chance framework can be relevant to individuals facing insolvency. We assess the available route, the debts involved and the consequences for assets and financial commitments.

Discuss your case

What we review

We identify each creditor, the nature and origin of the liability, any security or guarantee and the stage of collection. The review also considers income, living costs and assets so that the options can be explained in context.

Documents to prepare

  • An up-to-date list of creditors and balances
  • Loan agreements, guarantees and collection notices
  • Income, expense and asset records
  • Details of existing enforcement or insolvency proceedings

You do not need to arrive with a perfect file. Bring what is available and identify any documents still missing, especially where a formal date or deadline is involved.

Choosing the next step

The assessment should explain which debts need special treatment, what information is still missing and the practical consequences of the possible route. A proposed plan and a debt discharge are different outcomes; neither should be assumed before the case is assessed.

Questions about the process

Will every debt disappear?

No blanket promise is appropriate. Eligibility, exclusions, the type of liability and the court's decision must be considered. We explain the expected scope and limitations after reviewing the file.

How do I arrange an initial consultation?

Call BGD Abogados or use the enquiry form, wherever you are based. Tell us where in Spain the matter arises, the main facts and any relevant deadline. We can arrange an initial consultation remotely and explain the scope of any proposed work.
