The company should send actioncivile.com Monday 46,208 enforcement notices from individuals borrowers who claim to their bank account of profits generated by their loan insurance contract, totaling more than € 120 million.
Dozens of boxes containing the remains were carried in transit offices actioncivile. Com to the office of the nearest post, said a journalist from AFP. The approach is mainly based on a decision of the State Council issued April 23, 2012, which devoted, at the request of the consumer association UFC-Que Choisir, the principle of restitution to policyholders of at least part profits on the loan insurance contracts.
Loan insurance is contracted along with the purchase of a home loan or a consumer credit. It covers non-repayment of the loan in case of death, disability or incapacity. This insurance is not required legally, unlike auto insurance, for example, but the banks are a prerequisite for the validation of a loan. Today, banks are giving nothing back to insured contributions they make to this title.

The standard form generated by actioncivile.com, and all the documents will be forwarded to the registry of the district court by the site.
