Article L312-89 of the French Consumer Code

In the event of an increase in the borrowing rate or in the charges for which the borrower is liable, the borrower is informed on paper or on another durable medium before these changes come into force.

Where the change in the borrowing rate results from a change in the reference rate, the new reference rate is made public by appropriate means and information on the new reference rate is also available at the creditor’s premises, the parties may agree in the credit agreement that this information is provided in the statement of account referred to in Article L. 312-88.

Article L312-89


En cas d’augmentation du taux débiteur ou des frais dont il est redevable, l’emprunteur est informé sur support papier ou sur un autre support durable avant que ces modifications n’entrent en vigueur.


Lorsque la modification du taux débiteur résulte d’une variation du taux de référence, que le nouveau taux de référence est rendu public par des moyens appropriés et que l’information relative au nouveau taux de référence est également disponible dans les locaux du prêteur, les parties peuvent convenir dans le contrat de crédit que cette information est fournie dans le relevé de compte mentionné à l’article L. 312-88.
