§ 6A-9-618. Rights and duties of certain secondary obligors.(a) Rights and duties of secondary obligor.

RI Gen L § 6A-9-619 (2021)
2021 Rhode Island General Laws|Title 6A - Uniform Commercial Code|Chapter 6A-9 - Secured Transactions|Section 6A-9-619 - Transfer of record or legal title.

§ 6A-9-619. Transfer of record or legal title.(a)"Transfer statement." In this section, "transfer statement" means a record authenticated by a secured party stating:(1) That the debtor has defaulted in connection with an obligation secured by specified collateral;(2) That the secured party has exercised its post-default remedies with respect to the collateral;(3) That, by reason of the exercise, a transferee has acquired the rights of the debtor in the collateral; and(4) The name and mailing address of the secured party, debtor, and transferee.(b) Effect of transfer statement. A transfer statement entitles the transferee to the transfer of record of all rights of the debtor in the collateral specified in the statement in any official filing, recording, registration, or certificate-of-title system covering the collateral. If a transfer statement is presented with the applicable fee and request form to the official or office responsible for maintaining the system, the official or office shall:(1) Accept the transfer statement;(2) Promptly amend its records to reflect the transfer; and(3) If applicable, issue a new appropriate certificate of title in the name of the transferee.(c) Transfer not a disposition; no relief of secured party's duties. A transfer of the record or legal title to collateral to a secured party under subsection (b) or otherwise is not of itself a disposition of collateral under this chapter and does not of itself relieve the secured party of its duties under this chapter.History of Section.P.L. 2000, ch. 182, § 6; P.L. 2000, ch. 420, § 6.

2021 Rhode Island General Laws|Title 6A - Uniform Commercial Code|Chapter 6A-9 - Secured Transactions|Section 6A-9-626 - Action in which deficiency or surplus is in issue.

§ 6A-9-626. Action in which deficiency or surplus is in issue.(a) Applicable rules if amount of deficiency or surplus in issue. In an action arising from a transaction, other than a consumer transaction, in which the amount of a deficiency or surplus is in issue, the following rules apply:(1) A secured party need not prove compliance with the provisions of this part relating to collection, enforcement, disposition, or acceptance unless the debtor or a secondary obligor places the secured party's compliance in issue.(2) If the secured party's compliance is placed in issue, the secured party has the burden of establishing that the collection, enforcement, disposition, or acceptance was conducted in accordance with this part.(3) Except as otherwise provided in § 6A-9-628, if a secured party fails to prove that the collection, enforcement, disposition, or acceptance was conducted in accordance with the provisions of this part relating to collection, enforcement, disposition, or acceptance, the liability of a debtor or a secondary obligor for a deficiency is limited to an amount by which the sum of the secured obligation, expenses, and attorney's fees exceeds the greater of:(i) The proceeds of the collection, enforcement, disposition, or acceptance; or(ii) The amount of proceeds that would have been realized had the noncomplying secured party proceeded in accordance with the provisions of this part relating to collection, enforcement, disposition, or acceptance.(4) For purposes of paragraph (3)(ii), the amount of proceeds that would have been realized is equal to the sum of the secured obligation, expenses, and attorney's fees unless the secured party proves that the amount is less than that sum.(5) If a deficiency or surplus is calculated under § 6A-9-615(f), the debtor or obligor has the burden of establishing that the amount of proceeds of the disposition is significantly below the range of prices that a complying disposition to a person other than the secured party, a person related to the secured party, or a secondary obligor would have brought.(b) Non-consumer transactions; no inference. The limitation of the rules in subsection (a) to transactions other than consumer transactions is intended to leave to the court the determination of the proper rules in consumer transactions. The court may not infer from that limitation the nature of the proper rule in consumer transactions and may continue to apply established approaches.History of Section.P.L. 2000, ch. 182, § 6; P.L. 2000, ch. 420, § 6.

2021 Rhode Island General Laws|Title 6A - Uniform Commercial Code|Chapter 6A-9 - Secured Transactions|Section 6A-9-627 - Determination of whether conduct was commercially reasonable.

§ 6A-9-627. Determination of whether conduct was commercially reasonable.(a) Greater amount obtainable under other circumstances; no preclusion of commercial reasonableness. The fact that a greater amount could have been obtained by a collection, enforcement, disposition, or acceptance at a different time or in a different method from that selected by the secured party is not of itself sufficient to preclude the secured party from establishing that the collection, enforcement, disposition, or acceptance was made in a commercially reasonable manner.(b) Dispositions that are commercially reasonable. A disposition of collateral is made in a commercially reasonable manner if the disposition is made:(1) In the usual manner on any recognized market;(2) At the price current in any recognized market at the time of the disposition; or(3) Otherwise in conformity with reasonable commercial practices among dealers in the type of property that was the subject of the disposition.(c) Approval by court or on behalf of creditors.

Approval under subsection (c) need not be obtained, and lack of approval does not mean that the collection, enforcement, disposition, or acceptance is not commercially reasonable.History of Section.P.L. 2000, ch. 182, § 6; P.L. 2000, ch. 420, § 6.

A secured party is not liable to any person, and a person's liability for a deficiency is not affected, because of any act or omission arising out of the secured party's reasonable belief that a transaction is not a consumer-goods transaction or a consumer transaction or that goods are not consumer goods, if the secured party's belief is based on its reasonable reliance on:(1) A debtor's representation concerning the purpose for which collateral was to be used, acquired, or held; or(2) An obligor's representation concerning the purpose for which a secured obligation was incurred.(d) Limitation of liability for statutory damages.
