Section 9613 - Contents and form of notification before disposition of collateral: general

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