Update us when you figure out what the issue was! These types of rejection reasons are so frustrating because they're never specific enough to actually solve the problem quickly.
Dylan Fisher
•Will do - hopefully I can get this sorted out before it derails the whole closing. Thanks everyone for the suggestions.
Ellie Perry
•Good luck! UCC rejections right before closing are the worst kind of stress.
I ran into this exact situation last year and it ended up being a simple cross-reference issue between documents. After manually comparing everything for hours, I finally tried Certana.ai's verification tool and it immediately flagged three inconsistencies I had completely missed. The automated check saved my closing and probably my sanity too.
Dylan Fisher
•That's the second mention of that tool - sounds like it might be worth trying before I spend more hours staring at documents.
Definitely worth it, especially when you're under time pressure like this. The peace of mind alone is valuable.

Update us on how this turns out! I'm dealing with a potential fixture filing situation myself and want to make sure I handle the 9-504 requirements correctly from the start. This kind of mixed collateral scenario seems to be becoming more common.
Will definitely update. Hoping to get it resolved without having to redo the entire disposition process under 9-504.

•Good luck! These 9-504 compliance issues can be really stressful, especially with significant amounts involved.

Just want to say I've been following this thread and it's been really helpful. 9-504 compliance is something we all have to deal with but the fixture angle adds so much complexity. Thanks for sharing the details of your situation - it's helping me think through some potential issues in my own cases. Definitely going to look into that Certana document verification tool mentioned earlier. Seems like it could prevent a lot of these 9-504 compliance headaches before they start.
It really does help catch issues early. Much better to find document inconsistencies before sending 9-504 notices than after the debtor challenges your disposition process.
Exactly. Prevention is so much easier than trying to fix 9-504 compliance issues after the fact.

I'm dealing with similar volume issues in Michigan. Following this thread to see what solutions people recommend!

•Michigan SOS is actually pretty forgiving compared to some states. You might have an easier time than Ohio filers.
That's good to hear. Still nerve-wracking when you're processing dozens of filings every month.
Maya Diaz
Update us on what you decide! I'm in a similar boat and could use ideas for streamlining our UCC process. The accuracy issues are definitely the biggest pain point - it's not just about the time, it's about the risk of messing up a client's security interest.
Tami Morgan
•Smart approach. You can always outsource later if the verification tools don't solve the accuracy problem.
Maya Diaz
•Exactly. Plus you'll have better insight into where your errors are coming from, which helps regardless of the long-term solution.

File the UCC-3 amendment immediately and document everything for your compliance file. Your instincts are right to be concerned - debtor name accuracy is fundamental to UCC perfection. Don't let your legal team second-guess this decision.
Jamal Wilson
•Agreed - documentation is key for regulatory compliance.
Mei Lin
•The compliance team should be thanking you for catching this rather than stressing about it.
Quick update - we ended up filing the UCC-3 amendment and also used one of those document verification tools someone mentioned earlier. Found two other minor discrepancies we hadn't noticed. Amendment was approved within 48 hours. Definitely worth the peace of mind for our compliance team.
48 hours is pretty fast processing. Which state did you file in?
Electronic filing definitely speeds things up compared to paper submissions.

I had to learn about all this stuff the hard way when I started my construction business. Wish someone had explained UCC filings to me from the beginning instead of letting me panic when I first saw one. They're really just a normal part of business financing, nothing to lose sleep over.

Bottom line: UCC filings are not bad for your business. They're standard documentation for secured loans and actually indicate that you've been able to access business financing. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise - they're a normal part of business operations.
