The distraining creditor who arranges for the removal of the assets with a view to their forced sale shall inform, by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt, the creditors who have made a protective attachment on the same assets prior to the act of attachment or the act of conversion, as the case may be. Under penalty of nullity, this letter shall indicate the name and address of the ministerial officer in charge of the sale and shall reproduce the following paragraph in very clear characters.
Within a period of fifteen days from receipt of the letter, each creditor shall inform the ministerial officer in charge of the sale of the nature and amount of his claim on the day of removal. If no reply is received within the time limit, the creditor loses the right to participate in the distribution of the funds resulting from the forced sale, except to assert his rights to any balance remaining after distribution.
