Posted on 21/10/2024
The Second Chance Law has become an escape route for many people who have a complex financial situation or are immersed in a situation of over-indebtedness. The mechanism allows for renegotiating or cancelling non-payments, and gives debtors the possibility of a new financial start.
However, not all types of debts can be eligible for exoneration through this legislation. For this reason, before taking advantage of the regulations, it is essential to know which obligatory payment commitments can be cancelled and which cannot.
In this sense, Abogados Para Tus Deudas is a law firm specialized in the Second Chance Law that, below, provides more information on the subject.

Likewise, legaltech experts assure that, since the last reform of the law, even debts with Social Security and the Treasury can be paid, with a limit of 10,000 euros for each of these organizations.
