I paid a deposit to a contractor in Asunción for bathroom repairs, but they stopped coming and the work is incomplete. I have receipts, messages, and photos of the damage. What is the process and timeline to file a civil claim and request reimbursement plus additional costs?

You may file a civil claim for breach of contract requesting reimbursement and damages. First, send a formal demand notice to the contractor; if unresolved, file a civil action before a local court in Asunción with your evidence (receipts, messages, photos). Typical timelines can range from several months to over a year, depending on the court and whether the case settles or proceeds to judgment.
