Article L314-22

Dans le cadre de l’élaboration, de l’octroi et de l’exécution d’un contrat de crédit, de service de conseil ou de services accessoires, les prêteurs agissent d’une manière honnête, équitable, transparente et professionnelle, au mieux des droits et des intérêts des emprunteurs.

L’octroi de crédit, de services accessoires ou de services de conseil s’appuie sur les informations relatives à la situation de l’emprunteur et sur toute demande spécifique formulée par celui-ci, ainsi que sur les hypothèses raisonnables quant aux risques que la durée du contrat de crédit fait courir à l’emprunteur.
