Another 14 days later, the third  overdue notice will be sent via registered post at 10,00€ per medium.  The singular fees are added, so there will be 17,00€ to pay per medium  after the third overdue notice. Should the feed media not be returned  after the third overdue notice, ULB will start a replacement purchase  for the overdue titles.

Should the fees exceed 20,00 EUR or more, you will not be able to use your patron account, meaning you will not be able to borrow new media or extend lending periods.
