Except in a consumer-goods transaction, the following rules apply: (1) NOTIFICATION: WHEN SUFFICIENT. The contents of a notification of disposition are sufficient if the notification: (a) Describes the debtor and the secured party; (b) Describes the collateral that is the subject of the intended disposition; (c) States the method of intended disposition; (d) States that the debtor is entitled to an accounting of the unpaid indebtedness and states the charge, if any, for an accounting; and (e) States the time and place of a public disposition or the time after which any other disposition is to be made. (2) NOTIFICATION: QUESTION OF FACT. Whether the contents of a notification that lacks any of the information specified in sub. (1) are nevertheless sufficient is a question of fact. (3) NOTIFICATION: OTHER INFORMATION OR MINOR ERRORS. The contents of a notification providing substantially the information specified in sub. (1) are sufficient, even if the notification includes: (a) Information not specified by sub. (1); or (b) Minor errors that are not seriously misleading. (4) SUBSTANTIAL COMPLIANCE. A particular phrasing of the notification is not required. (5) NOTIFICATION: FORM SUFFICIENT.
