Secured creditor rights in California give a lender priority to the collateral and offer remedies such as perfection of liens, enforcement actions, and negotiated settlements. These remedies are designed to protect the lender’s interest and support timely recovery. By following statutory requirements, you can maximize recovery while maintaining compliance.
