Urgent legal question

Daughter has been threatened with prison for civil debt in Spain, in addition 3rd party apparently signed a registered delivery letter on her behalf she has only just discovered. This is in Catalonia, any advice or insight appreciated

good point, I think it was a property owner, 3 months notice was given to vacate a rental property and the 3 months deposit was relinquished as payment for rent, all turned very acrimonious, the individual has a solid paper trail, gas leaks, cockroaches, no action, however the agency/ landlord is being very aggressive

Just ignore the idiot in that case as it will never reach the court let alone result in a prison sentence.

This is the issue, you cannot use this deposit as payment. This is only used for property damages not failed rent. You have a legal obligation to pay that. So the issue remains you have unpaid rental arrears.

with that! The fact that the deposit equals the rent outstanding and there was zero damage issues, she has photos of the day she left with a newspaper of that date! In each shot I suspect they are trying it on!
