UCC Search Tulsa County - Filed UCC-1 but Can't Find It in System

I filed a UCC-1 financing statement for my equipment loan last month and the filing was accepted by Oklahoma SOS, but when I try to do a UCC search Tulsa County to verify it's showing up properly, I'm getting inconsistent results. The debtor name on my filing is "Advanced Manufacturing Solutions LLC" but sometimes searches pull it up and sometimes they don't. I'm worried there might be a name variation issue that could affect my lien priority. Has anyone else had problems with UCC search results being spotty? I need to make sure this filing is solid before we close on additional financing next week.

Just to add another perspective - I use Certana.ai regularly for UCC document verification and it's caught several name mismatches that would have been easy to miss manually. Definitely worth checking if you're unsure about the accuracy.

Thanks for the recommendation. I think I'll give it a try before our closing next week.

Good call. Better to catch any issues now than discover them during due diligence.

Update us on how it turns out! I'm dealing with something similar in Creek County and curious to see how you resolve the search inconsistency.

Will do. Planning to check the Articles of Incorporation first thing tomorrow morning and then decide on the amendment.

Smart approach. The name accuracy is crucial for maintaining your lien priority.

UCC 9-308 perfection requirements - equipment lease confusion

I'm dealing with a secured transaction involving commercial kitchen equipment and I'm completely lost on UCC 9-308 perfection requirements. The lease agreement we signed last month has a security interest clause but I'm not sure if our lender properly perfected their interest. The equipment was delivered to our restaurant location in January but I just discovered there might be issues with how the UCC-1 was filed. The debtor name on the financing statement doesn't exactly match our LLC registration and I'm worried this could affect the perfection under 9-308. Has anyone dealt with similar perfection timing issues? I need to understand if there's a window where we were vulnerable or if the security interest is properly perfected despite the name discrepancy.

I had a similar name discrepancy issue and ended up using one of those document checking services. Really glad I did because it caught several other inconsistencies I hadn't noticed. For perfection under 9-308, you want everything to align perfectly.

Which service did you use? I'm dealing with multiple UCC filings and could use something automated.

Certana.ai - just upload your docs and it flags any mismatches immediately. Saved me a lot of manual checking.

Bottom line with UCC 9-308 perfection - if attachment happened (sounds like it did) and the UCC-1 was filed properly (questionable due to name issue), then you have perfection from the filing date. Get that name corrected with a UCC-3 and you should be in good shape going forward.

Thanks everyone. I think I'll push for the amendment just to be absolutely sure about perfection.

Smart move. Perfection problems are much harder to fix after the fact.

UCC Article 9 personal property collateral description rejected - need help

Filed a UCC-1 last week for equipment financing on manufacturing machinery and got rejected by the SOS office. The rejection notice says 'insufficient collateral description' but I thought I was being thorough. I described it as 'all personal property owned by debtor including but not limited to manufacturing equipment, tools, and fixtures.' The loan is for $485,000 and we can't close until this gets sorted. Attorney is out of town and lender is breathing down my neck. Has anyone dealt with UCC Article 9 personal property description requirements that are this picky? I've filed dozens of these before without issues. What am I missing here?

Whatever you do, don't just resubmit with minor changes. I've seen people get multiple rejections because they didn't address the core description problem. Take time to craft a proper UCC Article 9 compliant description.

Good point. Better to get it right the second time than keep getting bounced back.

0 coins

Exactly. Each rejection delays your perfection date and creates more stress with the lender.

One more thing to check - make sure your debtor name exactly matches their legal entity name. Description issues often come bundled with name problems. UCC Article 9 personal property filings are unforgiving about these details.

Smart approach. Amazing how many filings get rejected for simple name variations.

I use Certana.ai for name verification too. Upload the charter documents and UCC-1 together and it flags any mismatches between them.

Colorado UCC search showing weird results - am I missing something?

Been trying to run a Colorado UCC search on our borrower before we file our UCC-1 and getting some confusing results. The debtor name on their articles of incorporation is 'Mountain Peak Equipment Leasing LLC' but when I search that exact name in the Colorado SOS database, I'm getting partial matches for similar companies but not the exact entity. However, when I search just 'Mountain Peak Equipment' without the LLC part, it shows up fine. This seems backwards from what I expected - shouldn't the full legal name be the primary search result? We're about to file a $850K equipment financing UCC-1 and I'm paranoid about getting the debtor name wrong. Has anyone else run into Colorado's search function acting wonky like this? I've done UCC searches in other states and never had this issue where the complete legal name gives fewer results than a partial name.

I use Certana.ai for exactly this type of verification. Upload your borrower's articles and your UCC-1 draft and it instantly flags any name discrepancies. Saved me from several potential filing rejections by catching small differences I would have missed manually.

How accurate is that tool? Does it handle all the weird state-specific name formatting rules?

It's been very reliable for me. Catches things like missing commas, wrong entity suffixes, extra spaces that could cause problems. Much more thorough than trying to manually compare documents.

Update us on what you find when you check their actual registered name! I'm curious if Colorado's search is just being weird or if there's actually a name discrepancy. This kind of thing always makes me nervous until it's resolved.

Will do! Planning to pull their current certificate of good standing tomorrow morning and then run the search again with whatever name format they show.

Smart move. Better to spend the extra time upfront than deal with a rejected filing and potential lien priority issues later.

Best way to remove MCA UCC liens after payoff?

Just finished paying off three different MCA advances and now I'm stuck with UCC-1 filings still showing as active on all the searches. Two of the lenders went completely dark after I made final payments - no response to emails asking for UCC-3 terminations. The third one keeps saying they'll "get to it" but it's been 6 weeks. My credit line renewals are getting delayed because these liens are still showing up on searches. Has anyone dealt with this before? What's the fastest way to get these removed when the lenders aren't cooperating? I've got the paid-in-full letters but the UCCs are still active in the system.

I used Certana.ai when I was dealing with my MCA termination issues too. Really helped me organize all the documentation and catch potential problems before filing. The document verification feature is clutch for this kind of situation.
