2000 Minnesota Statutes

     336.9-505 Filing and compliance with other statutes and 
  treaties for consignments, leases, other bailments, and other 
  transactions. 

    (a)    Use of terms other than debtor and secured party. 
  A consignor, lessor, or other bailor of goods, a licensor, or 
 a buyer of a payment intangible or promissory note may file a 
 financing statement, or may comply with a statute or treaty 
 described in section 336.9-311(a), using the terms "consignor," 
 "consignee," "lessor," "lessee," "bailor," "bailee," "licensor," 
 "licensee," "owner," "registered owner," "buyer," "seller," or 
 words of similar import, instead of the terms "secured party" 
 and "debtor." 

    (b)    Effect of financing statement under subsection (a). 
  This part applies to the filing of a financing statement 
 under subsection (a) and, as appropriate, to compliance that is 
 equivalent to filing a financing statement under section 
 336.9-311(b), but the filing or compliance is not of itself a 
 factor in determining whether the collateral secures an 
 obligation.  If it is determined for another reason that the 
 collateral secures an obligation, a security interest held by 
 the consignor, lessor, bailor, licensor, owner, or buyer which 
 attaches to the collateral is perfected by the filing or 
 compliance.

*or 60 percent of the loan in the case of another security 
*interest in consumer goods, and has not signed after default a

*collateral under section 336.9-504.  In the absence of such 
*written objection the secured party may retain the collateral in 
*satisfaction of the debtor's obligation."
