Authorisation may be suspended for a maximum of six months or withdrawn by the prefect where the domiciliation company no longer meets the conditions set out in II of article L. 123-11-3 or has not made the declaration provided for in article R. 123-166-4.
When the direct debit company is the subject of proceedings before the Commission nationale des sanctions instituted in article L. 561-38 of the Monetary and Financial Code, its authorisation may be suspended by the Prefect, as a precautionary measure, for a maximum period of six months, renewable by a specially reasoned decision. The suspension decision may only be taken after the direct debit agent has been given the opportunity to present its observations. It automatically ceases to have effect as soon as the commission has made its decision.
The suspension or withdrawal decision may be taken for a single establishment.
