In a consumer transaction, the creditor may retain the collateral in full satisfaction of the debtor’s obligation if

A

the debtor has not paid at least 60 percent of the cash price in the case of a purchase money security interest.

66
Q

in order for a consumer creditor to retain collateral in full satisfaction (where debtor hasn’t paid 60% of value) the creditor must

A

send the consumer a notice of the creditor’s proposal to take such action.

67
Q

if the consumer doesnt respond to creditors notice to retain collateral in full satisfaction proposal within

A

20 days after the proposal is sent, the creditor may retain the collateral in full satisfaction of the consumer’s obligation.

68
Q

absent a post-default waiver by the consumer-debtor, in order for a creditor to be prevented from retaining the collateral and forced to sell it instead, the consumer must have paid at least

A

60 percent of the cash price in the case of a purchase money security interest.

69
Q

full strict foreclosure is permitted in the case of a purchase money security interest if

A

1) the debtor has not paid at least 60 percent of the cash price
2) and the debtor receives a proper notice of the proposed foreclosure
3) but fails to timely respond.

A

farm products such as crops or livestock

73
Q

An agricultural lien secures payment for

A

1) either goods or services with respect to the debtor’s farming operation,
2) or rent on real property leased in connection with a farming operation.

74
Q

A creditor who has an agricultural lien who hasn’t recorded as a public record any document relating to the lease obligation; has not

A

perfected the lien by filing a financing statement;

therefore for the security interest to be perfected the creditor must have taken possession or control, or have an interest that qualifies for automatic perfection.

75
Q

When only one security interest is perfected and the other is not

A

then the perfected interest takes priority over the unperfected one.

76
Q

A debtor, secondary obligor, or any other secured party has the right to

A

redeem collateral.

77
Q

To redeem, the redeemer must

A

fulfill all obligations secured by the collateral and reasonable expenses, including attorney’s fees, incurred by the secured party in retaking the collateral or preparing for its disposition.

78
Q

where the obligation secured by the collateral is the balance due, a tender in the amount in arrears is

A

not sufficient to redeem collateral

79
Q

In general, the test for the timeliness of a notification of a disposition is

A

reasonableness.

80
Q

The notification of a disposition should be sent sufficiently far in advance of the disposition to

A

allow the notified party to act on the notification.

81
Q

Whether five days notification of a disposition is reasonably timely would likely be a question of

A

fact

82
Q

when the property in question is held as a tenancy by the entirety, a creditor of one spouse cannot

A

reach the debtor spouse’s share in the property.

83
Q

A

Only if the creditor can obtain a joint judgment against both spouses can the entire property be reached.

84
Q

where property is held as tenancy by entirety by a debtor spouse with wife, creditors cant

A

force its sale to satisfy any judgment solely against debtor spouse

85
Q

an enforceable security interest with respect to goods occurs when

A

the security interest is attached to the goods/collateral

86
Q

To obtain a security interest in personal property, which includes “goods” (i.e., a moveable object) in general, and specifically equipment (e.g., a machine used in a business to manufacture other goods), a creditor must

A

comply with Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code

87
Q

Article 9 mandates that, for a security interest to be enforceable against the debtor with respect to the goods

A

the security interest must “attach” to the collateral.

88
Q

For attachment to occur, three conditions must coexist:

A

(i) value has been given by the secured party;
(ii) the debtor has rights in the collateral; and
(iii) the debtor has (a) authenticated a security agreement that describes the collateral, or (b) the secured party has possession or control of the collateral pursuant to a security agreement.

89
Q

For a creditor to have rights in the collateral that are superior to the rights of other persons in the collateral, the creditor must

A

perfect its security interest

90
Q

One method for perfecting a security interest is by

A

filing a financing statement.

91
Q

The filing of the financing statement must include

A

the debtor’s name, but need not be signed by the debtor

92
Q

the financing statement doesnt need to be signed by the debtor b/c

A

the purpose of the filed financing statement is to place other persons on inquiry notice as to the existence of the security interest.

93
Q

for the financing statement to be effective, the debtor must

A

authorize the filing of the financing statement

94
Q

If the debtor has authenticated the security agreement

A

then this authentication constitutes an authorization to file the financing statement with respect to the collateral covered by the agreement (i.e., an “ipso facto authorization”).

95
Q

for a debtor located in Virginia, the financing statement generally must be filed with

A

the Virginia State Corporation Commission

96
Q

For a debtor that is a registered organization, the debtor is deemed to be located

A

in the state in which it is organized (e.g., a corporation is deemed to be located in the state of incorporation).

97
Q

The failure of the president of entity to sign the financing statement

A

does not prevent its filing from perfecting creditors security interest.

98
Q

A statutory or common-law lien creditor is

A

a creditor who obtains a possessory lien on the property of another by operation of a statute or common-law rule.

99
Q

Unlike an Article 9 security interest, statutory or common-law liens are

A

nonconsensual liens.

100
Q

In Virginia, a mechanic is entitled to

A

a mechanic’s possessory lien

101
Q

a mechanic’s possessory lien is for up to and including

A

$1,000 that is superior to prior security interests, including perfected security interests.

102
Q

The remainder of the mechanic’s lien apart from the $1000 is

A

inferior to all prior security interests and liens.

103
Q

where a mechanic retained possession of the subject collateral at issue, he has

A

superior rights in the collateral to a creditor’s prior perfect security interest in the collateral for $1000

104
Q

where a perfected creditor pays the $1000 to the mechanic lien holder, who is in possession of the collateral at issue, mechanic must

A

surrender the collateral to the perfected creditor upon demand and payment of $1000

105
Q

for most items of personal property that serve as collateral for a security interest, the filing of financing statement with the Virginia State Corporation Commission is the typical method for

A

perfecting the security interest

106
Q

a security interest in a motor vehicle is perfected by

A

a notation of the security interest on the certificate of title.

107
Q

notation of the security interest on the certificate of title

A

is the only method permitted for perfecting a security interest on a motor vehicle, even if the motor vehicle is consumer goods that, under UCC Art. 9, is automatically perfected.

108
Q

Chattel paper consists of a record that evidences both

A

a monetary obligation and a security interest in specific goods.

109
Q

A

make payment to the secured party.

110
Q

Q

Tortious conversion generally cannot

A

deny a true owner title to his property

112
Q

113
Q

a bona fide purchaser of the property who lacks notice of the conversion can acquire good title if:

A

(i) the property is money or a negotiable instrument,
(ii) the converter acquired title by fraud in the inducement, or
(iii) the true owner entrusted goods to a seller of goods of that kind and the purchaser is a buyer in the ordinary course of the seller’s business.

114
Q

When there is a conflict between a secured creditor and an unsecured creditor with respect to collateral of a secured loan who has priority

A

the secured creditor

115
Q

a stores security interest will automatically perfect where

A

116
Q

a secured creditor has priority over an unsecured creditor in collateral, even though

A

debtors obligation to the unsecured creditor arose before the debtors obligation to the secured creditor

A

two unsecured creditors; doesnt apply between a secured and unsecured creditor

118
Q

filing of a financing statement is a method to

A

perfect a creditors security interest

119
Q

A security interest that has attached to specific collateral generally may be

A

enforced against the debtor upon the default of the debtor.

120
Q

A security interest attaches to collateral when

A

the secured party has given value, the debtor has rights in the collateral, and the debtor has authenticated a security agreement that describes the collateral.

121
Q

A security agreement must be

A

authenticated by the party against whom it may be enforced (i.e., the debtor).

122
Q

The most common method of authentication is

A

for the debtor to sign or execute the record that evidences the security agreement

147
Q

A

held for sale in a business.

148

A

attachment

152
Q

A purchase money security interest (PMSI) is a special type of security interest that exists in goods that:

A

(i) a secured party gave value to the debtor to enable the debtor to acquire rights in or use of the goods, and the value given was so used; or
(ii) a secured party sold goods to the debtor, and the debtor incurs an obligation to pay the security party all or part of the purchase price.

153
Q

A PMSI in inventory prevails over all other security interests in the collateral (“super-priority”), even if the security interest was previously perfected, if

A

(i) the PMSI is perfected by the time the debtor receives possession of the collateral; and
(ii) the purchase-money secured party sends an authenticated notification of the PMSI to the holder of any conflicting security interest before the debtor receives possession of the collateral.

154
Q

A

attachment and prevails over all other security interest in the collateral without the secured party having to take action to perfect its security interest

155
Q

A consumer good is a good that is

A

acquired primarily for personal, family, or household purposes.

156
Q

(2) in the ordinary course;
(3) from a seller who is in the business of selling goods of that kind
(4) in good faith; and
(5) without knowledge that the sale violates the rights of another in the same goods.

158
Q

Knowing that there is a security interest in the inventory does not mean that the sale violates the secured party’s rights because

A

the secured party’s interest will automatically attach to identifiable proceeds from the sale.

159
Q

If collateral is transferred, and the transferee of the collateral is not a buyer, the security interest

A

generally continues in the collateral unless the secured party authorized the transfer free of the security interest.
