In cases other than those provided for in articles R. 131-20, R. 131-21 and R. 131-21-1, the incident is regularised when, at the request of the drawer, a blocked provision earmarked for the actual payment of the cheque is set up.
The funds referred to in the first paragraph become available again after a period of one year, if they have not been used when the unpaid cheque is presented again, or immediately when the account holder provides proof of payment by presenting the cheque to the drawee.
When the adjustment concerns an incident that occurred on a closed account, the drawee alone remains competent to record it and to carry out the formalities provided for in articles R. 131-23 and R. 131-31.
Proof of adjustments made pursuant to articles R. 131-20, R. 131-21 and R. 131-21-1 and this article are kept for one year by the drawee.
