FAQs
Inaccurate UCC filings can put your security interest at risk or result in no lien position at all. When your organization files a UCC financing statement, you'll need to ensure that you've filed against the complete and accurate debtor name. You'll also have to monitor that debtor for changes in corporate name, structure, or good standing that could affect your lien position.
For each corporate entity we track on your behalf, CSC will monitor state corporate data and identify important developments. These developments might include whether your UCC debtor changes business partners, falls out of good standing, changes the corporate name or identification number, fails to file taxes or a corporate annual report, or dissolves the corporation. When such changes occur, you'll receive an automatic email alert containing the type of change, a before-and-after snapshot, and a link to the tracking results.
If necessary, we can help you amend the affected UCC filings so your UCC records remain in compliance with Article 9 requirements.
You can enter a debtor's entity information at any time, indicate your need to track bankruptcies when you are filing your UCC information, or upload your entire portfolio into our system. We monitor a number of variables (debtor name; street address; city, state, and zip code) to help you identify bankruptcy filings that are likely to be of concern for you.
Our system promptly alerts you when one of your debtors files for bankruptcy. In most instances, you will be notified between 24 and 48 hours of the bankruptcy filing.
You'll receive relevant information about the bankruptcy filing, including the name of the debtor, jurisdiction, court, chapter of bankruptcy, case number, date of filing, order number, and reference number.
CSC can order a copy of the docket from the courts for you. With this information in hand, you can file the required documents with the court quickly and meet the critical statutory deadlines to protect your investments.
