C.R.S. Section 4-9-611
Notification before disposition of collateral

  • definition

(a)

In this section, “notification date” means the earlier of the date on which:

(1)

A secured party sends to the debtor and any secondary obligor a signed notification of disposition; or

(2)

The debtor and any secondary obligor waive the right to notification as provided in section 4-9-624 (a).

(b)

Except as otherwise provided in subsection (d) of this section, a secured party that disposes of collateral under section 4-9-610 shall send to the persons specified in subsection (c) of this section a reasonable signed notification of disposition.

(c)

To comply with subsection (b) of this section, the secured party shall send a signed notification of disposition to:

(1)

The debtor;

(2)

Any secondary obligor; and

(3)

If the collateral is other than consumer goods:

(A)

Any other person from which the secured party has received, before the notification date, a signed notification of a claim of an interest in the collateral;

(B)

Any other secured party or lienholder that, ten days before the notification date, held a security interest in or other lien on the collateral perfected by the filing of a financing statement that:
(i)
Identified the collateral;
(ii)
Was indexed under the debtor’s name as of that date; and
(iii)
Was filed in the office in which to file a financing statement against the debtor covering the collateral as of that date; and

(C)

Any other secured party that, ten days before the notification date, held a security interest in the collateral perfected by compliance with a statute, regulation, or treaty described in section 4-9-311 (a).

(d)

Subsection (b) of this section does not apply if the collateral is perishable or the creditor in good faith believes that the collateral threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market. The specific reference to good faith in this subsection (d) does not abrogate the general obligation of the secured party to proceed in a commercially reasonable manner.

(e)

A secured party complies with the requirement for notification prescribed by subsection (c)(3)(B) of this section if:

(1)

Not later than twenty days or earlier than thirty days before the notification date, the secured party requests, in a commercially reasonable manner, information concerning financing statements indexed under the debtor’s name in the office indicated in subparagraph (B) of paragraph (3) of subsection (c) of this section; and

(2)

Before the notification date, the secured party:

(A)

Did not receive a response to the request for information; or

(B)

Received a response to the request for information and sent a signed notification of disposition to each secured party or other lienholder named in that response whose financing statement covered the collateral.
