The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) suggests sales and commerce laws for adoption by individual states, with Article 9 dealing with lending and monetary obligations. It defines circumstances for loan collection, collateral, and bankruptcy. The UCC applies to transactions with security interests in property or mobile accounts/cards. The debtor must have given something of value, rights to collateral, and possession of the collateral or a document explaining its value. The UCC ensures consistency in commerce laws across states, which can revise any part of the UCC as needed.
The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) is a document that suggests sales and commerce laws for adoption by individual states. The constitution allows states the right to self-govern in the areas of sales and commerce, so the UCC is a suggestion, not a law. Article 9 of the UCC is the section of the uniform commercial code dealing with lending or the creation of monetary obligations. It defines the circumstances under which a loan can be collected, what can be used as collateral for a loan, and what happens if the person who took out the loan goes bankrupt before the loan is paid off.
Article 9 of the UCC makes suggestions of laws that apply to specific types of transactions. These include any transaction created by contract that gives one party a security interest in a piece of property. A security interest gives the party known as the obligor partial rights to a piece of property if a debt is not paid. These usually include the right to take and subsequently sell the property. Ownership in this case applies to anything that can be owned without a title deed.
The sale of mobile accounts or cards is also governed by Article 9 of the UCC. Securities are any document showing that one person has a monetary obligation to another and that the debtor has a security interest in specific assets. The UCC Article 9 jurisdiction excludes any transaction already covered by federal law. It also excludes certain types of liens, legal claims that block the sale of property.
In order for the debtor to be able to assert his security interest, three circumstances must be met in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC. First, the debtor must have given the debtor something of value. Secondly, the debtor must have rights to the collateral, which is the property given to secure payment of the loan. Finally, the debtor must have the collateral in hand or possess a document explaining the circumstances and value of the collateral. A section of Article 9 of the UCC defines types of collateral, including assets, investment property and accounts or documents.
Article 9 of the UCC and the rest of the Uniform Commercial Code are important because interstate commerce is common in the United States. It lets each state know that the laws that apply in one state are the same as those in another state. States have the right to revise any part of the UCC as they see fit. The UCC has been adopted, with some revisions, in all 50 states and territories of the United States.
