Section 9--613. Contents and Form of Notification Before Disposition of Collateral: General  


Latest version.
  • Except in a consumer-goods transaction, the following rules apply:
        (a) The contents of a notification of disposition  are  sufficient  if
      the notification:
             (1) describes the debtor and the secured party;
             (2) describes  the collateral that is the subject of the intended
                 disposition;
             (3) states the method of intended disposition;
             (4) states that the debtor is entitled to an  accounting  of  the
                 unpaid  indebtedness  and  states  the charge, if any, for an
                 accounting; and
             (5) states the time and place of a public disposition or the time
                 after which any other disposition is to be made.
        (b) Whether the contents of a  notification  that  lacks  any  of  the
      information specified in subsection (a) are nevertheless sufficient is a
      question of fact.
        (c) The   contents  of  a  notification  providing  substantially  the
      information specified in subsection (a)  are  sufficient,  even  if  the
      notification includes:
             (1) information not specified by subsection (a); or
             (2) minor errors that are not seriously misleading.
        (d) A particular phrasing of the notification is not required.

      Section 9--614(c), when completed, each provides sufficient information:
