Notification before disposition of repossessed collateral (UCC Article 9 as enacted)

This rule is not verified. Its text, elements and any period parameters are research placeholders written for human review. Findings based on it are capped at Plausible/Weak and documents cannot cite it as verified authority.
Rationale
Seed rule scoped to California (the enacted Commercial Code version controls); model-code reference only until the enacted text is snapshotted. Other states need their own rule file.
Authorities
- UCC §§ 9-610, 9-611, 9-614 (as enacted by the state) primary statute — Disposition of collateral after default; notification before disposition (consumer-goods transactions)
Model text; the enacted state version controls (California: Com. Code §§ 9610, 9611, 9614).

Required elements
| Element | Fact tested | Test | Quote anchor |
|---|---|---|---|
| The collateral was repossessed or surrendered | account.was_repossessed | true | no anchor yet |
| A pre-disposition notification was received (or its absence is documented) | evidence.disposition_notice | evidence | no anchor yet |
| The disposition (sale) date is known | event.collateral_disposed | known | no anchor yet |
Contrary considerations
- The enacted state version controls (California Commercial Code); California also has vehicle-specific notice rules (separate CA rule).
- The absence of a notice in the owner's files is a gap, not proof that none was sent.
Potential outcomes (not predictions)
deficiency_review_supported
Routes this rule can suggest
- Review post-repossession notices and deficiency accounting — Obtain the notice of intent to dispose, the disposition details, and the deficiency calculation.
- Request an itemized accounting — A request for an itemization: principal, interest, fees, payments, credits, and charge-off amount.
- Consult legal aid or an attorney — Where a rule is unverified or the facts suggest a potential claim, a consultation can confirm the analysis.
