I am looking for help filing a poursuite. I am owed one months salary and have been recommended to open a poursuite against my employer. I have all the documents, just need help with the paperwork because I am stuck.
Any recommendations for people that can help?

You then pay fr 73 for the filling ( for amount between 1k-10k).
You do not need to present the documentations at the time of filing: In Switzerland anyone can file a poursuite against one person without any proof.
Need to get back to specsavers!
I have to 'lift the opposition' and i understood i should write a letter to request the poursuite be continued.
I wrote the letter using my best google translate french. The reply was something along the lines of 'i don't have the right to lift the opposition' or something like that.
I think i have to ask the right person using the correct terminology or something. This is where i am stuck.
I am really looking for someone who has done this before. I can pay of course.
as Ella says anyone can file a poursuite without any proof
so if I think somone owes me money I don't even have to send them a bill I can go straight to the office and pay the money and fill out the form.
they get an avis de poursuite and I suppose they will invoke an "opposition".
so now i just don't do anything else but it then stays on their file and could adversly effect their credit rating.
Is there no way they can force me to remove it??
If the opposition is not lifted then the poursuite is removed and so i guess the person who owes me is no longer listed as officially in debt to me.
It's frustrating for me as nobody has yet looked at my contract to see that i am owed money. All that has happened is that i have filed a poursuite and it has been opposed.
Apparently a judge must look at my contract and lift the opposition to continue the poursuite. But this is where i am stuck. I guess you have to personally know a judge in the poursuite office near the person who owes you?!
There seem to be some forms provided by the office des poursuites in Vaud but they are pretty horrible.
Any suggestions?
Que pouvez-vous faire si vous êtes créancier et que le débiteur a fait opposition au commandement de payer que vous lui avez fait notifier par l'office des poursuites ?
Le débiteur peut former opposition au commandement de payer sans devoir motiver sa décision. Par cet acte, il empêche le créancier de continuer la procédure.
Le créancier doit au préalable obtenir la mainlevée d'opposition en s'adressant à l'autorité compétente, avant la fin de la durée de validité du commandement de payer : soit par une action en reconnaissance de dette s'il ne détient pas de pièce valant titre de mainlevée mais entend faire valoir d'autres moyens de preuves; soit par une requête de mainlevée provisoire s'il détient un titre assimilé à une reconnaissance de dette (contrat, bulletin de commande, acte de défaut de biens, etc.); soit par une requête de mainlevée définitive s'il est au bénéfice d'un jugement exécutoire, d'une décision d'une autorité administrative suisse, d'un titre authentique exécutoire, ou encore d'une transaction ou reconnaissance passée en justice.
put in '"avocat civile " and your location
If you sent the letter to the right juge de la paix I suspect the exact content of the reply will be important (maybe you didn't have the correct supporting documents?).
As others have said, if the sum is large enough you really should think about finding a lawyer.
I sent a copy of my contract with a 2 month notice period, and a copy of my termination letter. The second of the 2 month notice period, ie my last month's salary was not paid. Surely these are all the documents required?
I do not think there is much advice people can give without knowing the contents of this correspondence - and for proper advicea lawyer should be consulted.
