What is the first step in the order of applying proceeds?

Dispose of unusable collateral
Repossess the collateral
Notify the debtor
Sell the collateral

The correct answer is: Repossess the collateral

The first step in the order of applying proceeds is to repossess the collateral. This action is critical because it ensures that the lender has control over the asset in question, allowing them to later take appropriate actions regarding the disposition of that asset. Repossession serves as the foundation for the subsequent steps that can include notifying the debtor about the repossession, disposing of unusable collateral, or ultimately selling the collateral. Without repossessing the collateral, the lender cannot properly manage or apply any proceeds from the collateral since they do not have legal possession or authority over it. This process reflects the principle of ensuring that the lender secures what is owed before taking any further action in the collection or sale of that asset. This logical progression of actions safeguards both the lender's interests and upholds the necessary legal frameworks governing secured transactions.
