No compensation or costs other than those mentioned in articles L. 312-39 and L. 312-40 may not be charged to the borrower in the event of default provided for in these articles.
However, in the event of default by the borrower, the lender may claim reimbursement from the borrower of the taxable costs incurred as a result of the borrower’s default, to the exclusion of any flat-rate reimbursement of collection costs.
In the event of default by the borrower, only the methods of realising the pledge authorised by articles 2346 and 2347 of the Civil Code are open to pledgees, to the exclusion of the commissory agreement provided for in article 2348 of the same Code, which is deemed not to have been written.
