| A proper financing statement need only include | only include a description of the collateral, the name and address of the debtor, and the name and address of the creditor. Any other items (eg, amount of the debt) are optional. |
| When a secured party rightly repossesses and sells a debtor’s collateral the proceeds are | applied to the reasonable expenses of the sale, then the debt of the primary secured creditor, then debt owed to subordinate creditors, then the rest of the proceeds, if any, reverts to the debtor. |
| In a secured transaction, the creditor has three responsibilities to the debtor: | (1) take reasonable care to preserve the collateral, (2) confirm the debt balance when requested, and (3) file or send the debtor a termination statement (eg, collateral release) when the debt is paid. |
| A creditor must satisfy three requirements to properly attach a security interest: | (1) the debtor must own (ie, have rights to) the collateral, (2) the creditor must create an interest in the collateral (security agreement or possession), and (3) the debtor must have received value. |
| Under the Secured Transactions article of the UCC, when does a security interest become enforceable? | The value has been given, the secured party receives a security agreement describing the collateral authenticated by the debtor, and the debtor has rights in the collateral. |
| Attachment occurs after all three: "PIG" | 1)Property (ie, collateral) "owned" by debtor (ie, has rights) 2)Interest in the collateral is created by either Signed security agreement or Take possession (writing not required) 3)Giving value to debtor (present or past) |
| Perfection occurs after any one of the three: "FAT" | 1) File a financing statement 2) Automatic perfection (ie, a purchase money security interest [PMSI]) 3) Take possession of collateral (writing not required) |
| Under the Secured Transactions Article of the UCC, what secured transaction document must be signed by the debtor? | Security agreement |
