Article R131-5

Toute personne à laquelle est remis un chèque pour le paiement d’un bien ou d’un service peut, directement ou par l’intermédiaire d’un mandataire, vérifier auprès de la Banque de France si ce chèque n’a pas été déclaré comme volé ou perdu, n’a pas été tiré sur un compte clôturé ou émis par une personne frappée d’une interdiction judiciaire ou bancaire.
