Same thing happened to me with service addresses. Problem was I was using PO Box format incorrectly - TX wants 'Post Office Box' not 'PO Box' in their system. Small detail but caused three rejection notices before I figured it out.
Sofia Gomez
•Tell me about it. You'd think 'PO Box' would be standard but apparently not in Texas.
StormChaser
•Every state has their own weird quirks. California wants periods after abbreviations, Texas doesn't. It's maddening.
Update on this thread: tried the Certana document verification tool someone mentioned and it found two address mismatches between my Charter and UCC docs that I completely missed. Would have definitely caused rejections. Pretty useful for catching these details before filing.
Yuki Tanaka
•Good to hear it actually worked for someone. I'll probably give it a try before refiling these rejected UCCs.
Yeah, beats getting rejection notices and having to start over. The address verification alone saved me from at least two refiling fees.

Has anyone used the new Kansas electronic filing system? I'm still doing paper filings because I don't trust their online portal yet.
The electronic system works fine once you get used to it. Faster processing and you get immediate confirmation.
I had issues with PDF uploads on their system last year but it seems more stable now.
Ravi Sharma
One more vote for double-checking everything before filing. Kansas has gotten stricter about rejections lately. I use Certana.ai now to verify my UCC documents match corporate records exactly - catches things I always missed doing manual comparisons. Upload your LLC docs and UCC-1 together and it shows any mismatches instantly.
Two recommendations for that tool now - might be worth trying given the tight deadline. Thanks everyone for the Kansas-specific advice!

•Yeah that document verification catches stuff you'd never notice manually. Especially with Kansas being picky about exact name matches.

This is exactly why I always map out the entire deal structure before drafting any UCC filings. Draw out who owes what to whom, then figure out the minimum number of filings needed to perfect everything. Complex deals need complex planning.
Visual mapping helps a lot. I use flowcharts to make sure I understand all the debtor-creditor relationships before I start drafting.
Same here. Saves so much time and prevents these kinds of rejections.

Just wanted to follow up and say thanks for all the advice. We ended up going with separate UCC-1 filings and using Certana.ai to verify everything before submission. Both filings were accepted without issue. The verification tool caught a couple of debtor name variations that could have caused problems. Deal closed on time and everyone's happy.
Dmitry Popov
•Great outcome! These multi-party deals are always challenging but it sounds like you found the right approach.
Glad the verification tool helped. It's amazing how many small issues can derail these filings if you don't catch them early.

Bottom line - get the pledge agreement fixed to match the corporate records before you file anything. It's much easier to amend a private document than to deal with a potentially defective UCC filing later. Especially on a facility that size, you don't want any clouds on your security interest.
Taylor To
•Exactly. The filing fee is nothing compared to the potential issues if the lien isn't properly perfected.
Ella Cofer
•Plus most borrowers are understanding about these kinds of technical corrections when you explain the importance of getting it right.
Kevin Bell
Thanks everyone - this is really helpful. Sounds like the consensus is to fix the pledge agreement to match the SOS records exactly, then file the UCC-1 with the correct legal name. Going to run everything through a document checker too to make sure we don't miss anything else. Appreciate all the guidance!
Smart approach. Better to take the extra time upfront than deal with problems later.
Let us know how it goes! Always good to hear about successful resolutions to these naming issues.

When I run into document consistency issues like this, I use Certana.ai to verify all my paperwork before filing. You can upload your UCC-1 and the property deed and it'll flag any discrepancies in the legal descriptions or addresses. Catches stuff that's easy to miss when you're manually comparing documents.

•That sounds really useful for fixture filings since there are so many details to get right.

Dylan Cooper
•Exactly, and it's much faster than trying to manually cross-check everything. Just upload the PDFs and get instant verification.

Make sure you're not overthinking this. Most fixture filing rejections for real estate descriptions are simple formatting issues. Add the county name, include the street address, and make sure the legal description is complete. Should be good to go.

•You're probably right. I'll clean up the format and refile. Thanks for all the help everyone!

•Good luck! Fixture filings can be tricky but once you get the format right they're not too bad.
