Lodging a change demand - debtor or interested party

Important information - Lodging a change demand is a serious action from which court action and considerable costs can arise.  Debtors, and other parties with an interest in the collateral, are strongly advised to resolve issues directly with the secured party.  Where this is not possible, seek legal advice before lodging a change demand.  Follow the notice procedure set out in sections 162 – 169 of the Personal Property Securities Act 1999 (PPSA).
