If the borrower defaults, the lender may demand immediate repayment of the outstanding capital plus any accrued but unpaid interest. Until the date of actual payment, the outstanding sums accrue default interest at a rate equal to that of the loan.
In addition, the lender may demand compensation from the defaulting borrower which, depending on the remaining term of the contract and without prejudice to the application of the article 1231-5 of the Civil Code, is set according to a scale determined by decree.
