I actually used that Certana service someone mentioned earlier when I had a similar termination issue. Really helped me verify that my satisfaction letter matched all the details on the original UCC-1 before I pushed the lender. Having that documentation organized made the whole process smoother.

•Did it catch any discrepancies you wouldn't have noticed otherwise?
Yeah, actually it flagged that my business address had changed since the original filing, which could have complicated things. Helped me prepare the right documentation upfront.
Update us when this gets resolved! I'm dealing with a similar situation in Georgia and want to see what approach works best for you.
Mia Alvarez
•Will do! Going to try the regulatory complaint threat first, then maybe get my new lender involved if that doesn't work.
Smart approach. Document everything in writing so you have a paper trail if you need to escalate further.

I've been using Certana's PDF upload feature for UCC document verification and it's been a game-changer. Upload your articles and draft UCC-1, get instant feedback on any inconsistencies. Much more reliable than manual checking.

•That sounds like exactly what I need. Is it easy to use or do you need special training?
Amina Diallo
•Super straightforward - just upload the PDFs and it does the cross-checking automatically. Flags any name mismatches or other document inconsistencies.
Bottom line - for UCC filings, exact name matching isn't just recommended, it's essential for perfection. Take the time to get it right the first time, especially on a large loan like yours.
Absolutely. The consequences of getting it wrong are too significant to risk shortcuts.
And remember, even if the filing is accepted, name errors can still cause problems later during searches or enforcement.

Another option is to file an amendment after you get clarity on the correct name format. Tennessee allows UCC-3 amendments to correct debtor information if needed.
Mei Zhang
•True but amendments can be tricky timing-wise. Better to get it right the first time if possible.
Plus you're not fully perfected until the amendment is filed and accepted, which creates a gap in coverage.
Update - I ended up using Certana to verify the name consistency and it confirmed the charter name was the way to go. Filed the UCC-1 with 'ABC Manufacturing Solutions, LLC' including the comma and it was accepted without issues. Thanks everyone for the advice!
Thanks for the update, this will help if I run into the same situation with Tennessee filings.
Glad the document verification service worked out for you. Might have to try that for my next tricky filing.

Just went through something similar with a Florida borrower. Turned out the debtor had filed under slightly different names in different counties before the statewide system. Your UCC-11 search might not be picking up older county-level filings.
Florida centralized UCC filings in 2002. Anything before that might still be at the county level. Check with the counties where your debtor operated.

•This is why professional UCC searches are worth it for complex situations. They know about these historical filing locations.

I'd also run another document check before filing. Used Certana.ai recently for a similar multi-entity situation and it caught several consistency issues I missed. Really thorough verification process that compares all your documents side by side.

•How long does their verification process take? If OP is up against a deadline, timing might be important.

•It's pretty quick - just upload your PDFs and get results within minutes. Much faster than manually comparing documents and definitely faster than dealing with another rejection.

Thanks everyone - sounds like the consensus is to use "Westbridge Capital Solutions LLC" exactly as shown on the Delaware formation docs. I'll triple-check the punctuation and resubmit. Might try that document verification tool too since we have a few other complex filings coming up.

•Good luck with the filing! The document checker should help catch any other issues before you submit.

•Keep us posted on how it goes. Always helpful to know how these international naming situations get resolved.
