Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

810 ILCS 5/9-620

    (810 ILCS 5/9-620)
    Sec. 9-620. Acceptance of collateral in full or partial satisfaction of obligation; compulsory disposition of collateral.
    (a) Conditions to acceptance in satisfaction. Except as otherwise provided in subsection (g), a secured party may accept collateral in full or partial satisfaction of the obligation it secures only if:
        (1) the debtor consents to the acceptance under
    
subsection (c);
        (2) the secured party does not receive, within the
    
time set forth in subsection (d), a notification of objection to the proposal authenticated by:
            (A) a person to which the secured party was
        
required to send a proposal under Section 9-621; or
            (B) any other person, other than the debtor,
        
holding an interest in the collateral subordinate to the security interest that is the subject of the proposal;
        (3) if the collateral is consumer goods, the
    
collateral is not in the possession of the debtor when the debtor consents to the acceptance; and
        (4) subsection (e) does not require the secured party
    
to dispose of the collateral or the debtor waives the requirement pursuant to Section 9-624.
    (b) Purported acceptance ineffective. A purported or apparent acceptance of collateral under this Section is ineffective unless:
        (1) the secured party consents to the acceptance in
    
an authenticated record or sends a proposal to the debtor; and
        (2) the conditions of subsection (a) are met.
    (c) Debtor's consent. For purposes of this Section:
        (1) a debtor consents to an acceptance of collateral
    
in partial satisfaction of the obligation it secures only if the debtor agrees to the terms of the acceptance in a record authenticated after default; and
        (2) a debtor consents to an acceptance of collateral
    
in full satisfaction of the obligation it secures only if the debtor agrees to the terms of the acceptance in a record authenticated after default or the secured party:
            (A) sends to the debtor after default a proposal
        
that is unconditional or subject only to a condition that collateral not in the possession of the secured party be preserved or maintained;
            (B) in the proposal, proposes to accept
        
collateral in full satisfaction of the obligation it secures; and
            (C) does not receive a notification of objection
        
authenticated by the debtor within 20 days after the proposal is sent.
    (d) Effectiveness of notification. To be effective under subsection (a)(2), a notification of objection must be received by the secured party:
        (1) in the case of a person to which the proposal was
    
sent pursuant to Section 9-621, within 20 days after notification was sent to that person; and
        (2) in other cases:
            (A) within 20 days after the last notification
        
was sent pursuant to Section 9-621; or
            (B) if a notification was not sent, before the
        
debtor consents to the acceptance under subsection (c).
    (e) Mandatory disposition of consumer goods. A secured party that has taken possession of collateral shall dispose of the collateral pursuant to Section 9-610 within the time specified in subsection (f) if:
        (1) 60 percent of the cash price has been paid in the
    
case of a purchase-money security interest in consumer goods; or
        (2) 60 percent of the principal amount of the
    
obligation secured has been paid in the case of a non-purchase-money security interest in consumer goods.
    (f) Compliance with mandatory disposition requirement. To comply with subsection (e), the secured party shall dispose of the collateral:
        (1) within 90 days after taking possession; or
        (2) within any longer period to which the debtor and
    
all secondary obligors have agreed in an agreement to that effect entered into and authenticated after default.
    (g) No partial satisfaction in consumer transaction. In a consumer transaction, a secured party may not accept collateral in partial satisfaction of the obligation it secures.
