Construction with O.C.G.A. § 10-1-36. - Trial court properly granted judgment to a debtor, finding that a repossessor failed to comply with O.C.G.A. § 10-1-36, and therefore was precluded from collecting a deficiency from the debtor following the sale of the debtor's vehicle, as the repossessor waived strict compliance with § 10-1-36 by admitting that it received a facsimile notice sent by the debtor, and raised no issue as to the timeliness of the notice or whether it was received by the proper person, and failed to send the required notice thereunder to the debtor's address shown on the contract or later designated by the debtor, opting instead to send said notice to a post office box.

- Lessor was not required to comply with the notice provisions of O.C.G.A. §§ 10-1-36 and11-9-504 because the motor vehicle lease agreement the lessor entered into with the lessee was intended to be a true lease and not to evince a secured transaction; the lessor retained a meaningful reversionary interest in the car because the option price was more than nominal since the purchase option price was approximately one-third of the car's value, and the agreement contained no provision purporting to grant the lessee equity in the vehicle prior to exercise of the purchase option. Aniebue v. Jaguar Credit Corp., 308 Ga. App. 1, 708 S.E.2d 4 (2011).
