In the event of loan renegotiation, changes to the initial credit agreement are made solely in the form of a rider drawn up on paper or on another durable medium.
This rider includes, on the one hand, an amortisation schedule detailing for each instalment the capital remaining due in the event of early repayment and, on the other hand, the annual percentage rate of charge and the cost of the credit, calculated on the basis of future instalments and charges only. For variable-rate or adjustable-rate loans, the amendment includes the annual percentage rate of charge as well as the cost of the credit, calculated on the basis of future repayments and charges only up to the date on which the rate is revised, as well as the terms and conditions for varying the rate.
The borrower has a cooling-off period of ten days from receipt of the information referred to in the second paragraph.
Acceptance must be given by letter, as evidenced by the postal operator’s stamp, or by any other means agreed between the parties that provides certainty as to the date of acceptance by the borrower.
