• Ch. 2: Credit Sales

Text

(1) With respect to a consumer credit sale,
a seller may take a security interest in the property sold. In addition, a
seller may take a security interest in goods upon which services are
performed or in which goods sold are installed or to which they are
annexed, or in land to which the goods are affixed or which is
maintained, repaired or improved as a result of the sale of the goods or
services, if, in the case of a subordinate lien mortgage transaction, the
debt secured is four thousand dollars ($4,000) or more, or, in the case
of a security interest in goods the debt secured is three hundred dollars
($300) or more. Except as provided with respect to cross-collateral (IC 24-4.5-2-408), a seller may not otherwise take a security interest in
property of the buyer to secure the debt arising from a consumer credit
sale.
(2) With respect to a consumer lease, a lessor may not take a security
interest in property of the lessee to secure the debt arising from the
lease.
(3) A security interest taken in violation of this section is void.
(4) The amounts of four thousand dollars ($4,000) and three hundred
dollars ($300) in subsection (1) are subject to change pursuant to the
provisions on adjustment of dollar amounts (IC 24-4.5-1-106).
However, notwithstanding IC 24-4.5-1-106(1), the Reference Base
Index to be used with respect to the amount of:
(a) three hundred dollars ($300) is the Index for October 1992; and
(b) four thousand dollars ($4,000) is the Index for October 2012.
