Article R124-5 of the French Code of civil enforcement procedures

The person responsible for collection shall inform the creditor that he has obtained even partial payment from the debtor, unless the payment results from the execution of an instalment payment agreement already known to the creditor.
Unless otherwise agreed, the person responsible for collection will also keep the creditor informed of any proposal by the debtor to discharge his obligation by a means other than immediate payment of the sum claimed.

Article R124-5


La personne chargée du recouvrement informe le créancier qu’elle a obtenu un paiement même partiel de la part du débiteur, à moins que le paiement résulte de l’exécution d’un accord de versement échelonné déjà connu du créancier.
Sauf stipulation contraire, elle le tient également informé de toute proposition du débiteur tendant à s’acquitter de son obligation par un autre moyen que le paiement immédiat de la somme réclamée.
