When the commission establishes that the repayment of one or more of the principal debtor’s debts is guaranteed by a surety bond, it shall inform the surety of the initiation of the procedure, by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt.
Within thirty days, the surety may make known his observations in writing to the commission and justify the amount of the sums, if any, already paid in execution of his surety undertaking and provide within the same period any additional useful information.
