The nakaz zapłaty
Upload a photo or a scan and the fields fill themselves. Or type the details in by hand - they are all on the first page of the order.
Several pages at once are fine: a photo or scan of each page, PDF, JPG or PNG.
Confirm the details
Please compare every field with your document - above all the case number (sygnatura akt) and the amounts. We copy them exactly as they are printed there; correct anything that differs. What stands here is what will appear, word for word, in your letter.
Automatic text recognition was not available. Please enter the details by hand.
Almost nothing could be read from the scan, so no fields were filled in. You can type the details below in by hand (they are all on the first page), or go back and upload a brighter photo taken straight from above.
You are typing the details in by hand. They are all on the first page of the nakaz zapłaty. The court's address is usually not printed on the order - take it from the court's website. For e-sąd (EPU) orders the court is the Sąd Rejonowy Lublin-Zachód w Lublinie, VI Wydział Cywilny.
How did the nakaz zapłaty reach you?
The deadline runs from the day the order was served on you - not from the date printed on it. The date of service is on the post office's return receipt (zwrotka) or on the bailiff's notice; on the order itself it is not printed.
How was it delivered?
Delivery to an adult member of your household counts as delivery to you (art. 138 KPC). If you did not collect an ordinary order, the court has it served by a bailiff and the bailiff's date counts. For e-sąd (EPU) orders the law treats the order as served at your address in the PESEL register even if nobody collected it (art. 505³⁴ § 1 KPC); the date the court took is shown in the case file on e-sad.gov.pl.
Your deadline
The sprzeciw must be filed within two weeks of service, the zarzuty within one month (art. 480² § 2 KPC). A period in weeks ends on the same weekday, a period in months on the same date (art. 112 KC); a last day falling on a Saturday or a public holiday moves to the next working day (art. 115 KC). Posting the letter at a post office on the last day is enough (art. 165 § 2 KPC) - keep the receipt, and send it several days early anyway. These periods apply when the order was served in Poland; if it was served abroad, the period printed in your order counts.
This calculation is a helper, not legal advice. Catius Documents does not review your individual case. If you are unsure, or the claim is large, we recommend getting legal advice.
Your details
You can challenge the whole order or only part of it (art. 505 § 2 KPC). A sprzeciw needs no reasons, but objections such as limitation are best raised now - below you can tick the standard objections our lawyer prepared that fit your case.
How should the letter refer to you?
Objections in your sprzeciw
These are the standard objections from our lawyer's template. We have ticked the ones the order itself points to; untick what does not fit your case, tick what does. With no objection ticked the sprzeciw is still valid - it then simply challenges the order.
Usually the date from which interest runs, as printed in the order. Needed for the limitation objections.
In Polish, as it appears in the lawsuit, e.g. 'należności wynikającej z umowy pożyczki nr 123/2020'. Leave empty if you do not know.
Your zarzuty: facts and evidence
Zarzuty must state the facts you rely on and the evidence for each of them (art. 493 § 2 KPC). Write each objection as a short title, the facts, and the documents that prove them - in Polish. We put them into our lawyer's template, numbered, with the list of attachments; we add nothing of our own.
What you do not raise now you cannot raise later (preclusion). If the amount is significant or you are unsure what to write, get legal advice before filing.
A few sentences about the contract and how the claimant obtained the order - e.g. the date and number of the loan agreement.
Court fee: three quarters of the full fee on the amount you challenge. We calculate it on the next step. Pay it to the court's account before the deadline and attach the confirmation - unpaid zarzuty are rejected (art. 480³ § 3 KPC). If you cannot pay, file a request for exemption from court costs together with the zarzuty; we do not prepare that request.
What do you challenge?
Enter the part of the main amount you challenge. The lawyer's wording then challenges that amount together with the interest on it and the decision on costs, and states that you do not challenge the rest.
Note: the part you do not challenge becomes final and enforceable (art. 505 § 2 KPC). If in doubt, challenge the whole order.
Less than the main amount, in złoty. Interest on this amount and the costs are challenged with it.
