A Notice of Public Sale of Collateral is a legal document used by lenders, such as banks or other financial institutions, to announce an upcoming public auction of a borrower's collateral. This document is issued when a borrower is unable to repay a loan, and the lender needs to recover their losses. The Notice of Public Sale of Collateral will outline the terms and conditions of the sale, including the date, time, and location of the auction, as well as the type of collateral being sold. It will also provide contact information for any questions or inquiries. There are two main types of Notice of Public Sale of Collateral: residential and commercial. Residential notices are used when a borrower is unable to repay a mortgage or other loan secured against their home. Commercial notices are used when a borrower is unable to repay a loan secured against their business assets or other commercial property.
