I can no longer pay my monthly instalments

A payment difficulty can happen to anyone.                          Most importantly: contact us as early as possible via our contact form. We will always look for a solution together with you before any further action is taken. Here is what happens if the situation is not resolved.

1️⃣  Amicable phase :

After around two weeks of non-payment, we send you a reminder. If your contract is funded by your employer, your HR manager is also informed.

At any point, you can settle the amount owed directly from your customer account: go to “My orders” → “Payment schedule” → “Pay now”.


2️⃣ Legal phase :

If the situation remains unresolved, your contract is automatically terminated. After four months of non-payment, your file is passed to a bailiff (huissier de justice) and the vehicle must be returned.


3️⃣ Financial consequences :

  • If the situation is not resolved, you remain liable for:

    • the full amount of unpaid monthly instalments accumulated;
    • a non-return indemnity, calculated based on how many months you have already paid (as a percentage of the bike’s price, including tax);
    • a non-return penalty (see below);
    • any applicable debt collection fees.

 

Months already paid (36 month contract) Indemnity (% of bike price, incl. tax)
Before month 7 80%
Month 7 to 12 50%
Month 13 to 24 30%
Month 25 to 36 20%

 

Months already paid (24 month contract) Indemnity
Before month 13 80%
Month 13 to 24 20%

Non-return penalty. This is equal to the residual value of the vehicle, plus 50% of the price of any accessories (including tax). It is calculated from the bike’s original purchase price (including tax), applying a depreciation rate based on the number of instalments already paid: the more instalments you have paid, the lower the residual value — and therefore the penalty.

These amounts can be significant, which is why it is always in your interest to contact us as early as possible  via our contact form.
