As I understand it, the law over here is very much on the side of the trader. There is no provision to withhold payment for "a query". You must pay first and "query" later.

You need to issue a "denuncia", for which you'll need the services of a fully qualified Abogado (although in some debt cases a Gestor can also do the work).

Once the process is complete, you have several options, including placing an embargo on the debtor's bank accounts. I'm not sure exactly how long the full process takes, but be prepared to spend some time chasing your abogado. Some of the local ones can be somewhat less "efficient" than UK lawyers, if you don't stay on their backs! It is also worth noting that it is less easy to claim costs over here, so keep an eye on the charges or you could end up "throwing good money after bad".
