The debtor is put on notice to pay either by a summons or an act providing sufficient interpellation, or, if the contract so provides, by the mere due date of the obligation.
A formal notice to pay an obligation for a sum of money shall give rise to interest on arrears, at the legal rate, without the creditor being required to prove any prejudice.
Mandatory notice to deliver a thing places the risks on the debtor, if they are not already there.
