A secured party disposing of collateral must send a reasonable signed notice of disposition to specified persons, unless an exception applies.
A notice of disposition is treated as sent within a reasonable time if it is sent after default and at least 10 days before disposition in a non-consumer transaction, or at least 21 days before disposition in a consumer transaction.
This section says what information a notice of collateral disposition must include, with an exception for consumer-goods transactions.
In a consumer-goods transaction, a disposition notice must include specified information, and the form instructions require certain items to be completed.
A secured party must distribute cash proceeds from a collateral sale in the statutory order, and may have to handle noncash proceeds only if not commercially unreasonable.
After certain collateral sales, the secured party must send a written explanation of the surplus or deficiency, and may charge up to $25 for extra responses.
A good-faith transferee can take collateral free of certain rights and interests; otherwise, the transferee takes the collateral subject to them.
A secondary obligor gets the secured party’s rights and must perform the secured party’s duties after certain assignments, transfers, or subrogation.
A transfer statement lets the transferee get record transfer of the debtor’s rights in the collateral, and the responsible official must process it if the fee and request form are submitted.
A secured party may accept collateral in full or partial satisfaction only if the statute’s consent, notice, and consumer-goods conditions are met.
A secured party seeking to accept collateral must send its proposal to specified interested parties, and also to any secondary obligor if the acceptance is only partial satisfaction.
If a secured party accepts collateral in full or partial satisfaction of the debt, the debtor’s obligation is discharged to the agreed extent and related interests are transferred or terminated.
Certain debtors, secondary obligors, secured parties, or lienholders may redeem collateral if they tender the required amounts.
A debtor or secondary obligor may waive certain collateral rights only by a signed post-default agreement, and the redemption right waiver does not apply in consumer-goods transactions.
This section lets courts order or stop collateral enforcement for noncompliance, lets affected persons recover actual and some statutory damages, and bars punitive or exemplary damages.
If deficiency or surplus is disputed, the secured party may have to prove compliance, and a debtor’s deficiency liability is limited by the statute’s calculation rules.
This section explains when a secured party’s collection, enforcement, disposition, or acceptance counts as commercially reasonable.
This section limits when a secured party is liable for noncompliance with the chapter.
This section allows certain records, affidavits, and verified petitions to be used as authentic evidence in executory or ordinary process involving security interests and related obligations.
