*This document is provided for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. The UCC requires a secured creditor to give the debtor "reasonable notification" before disposing of collateral, and to conduct the sale in a "commercially reasonable manner" — a defective notice or an unreasonable sale process can eliminate the creditor's right to pursue a deficiency balance.*
