Construction companies change their entity status pretty frequently too, so make sure the LLC is still active and hasn't converted to a corporation or something.

•Good catch, I'll verify the entity status is still current.
Yeah, I've seen companies dissolve and reform under slightly different names. Always worth checking.
Update us on how the amendment goes! Always curious about Wyoming processing times and whether they give any feedback on the name correction.
Carmen Lopez
•Will do! Planning to file electronically tomorrow morning.

•Electronic filing in Wyoming is pretty smooth. You should get confirmation within a few days.

For what it's worth, I've found that calling the SOS office directly sometimes helps when you're having UCC personal property issues. They can't give legal advice but they'll sometimes tell you if your description is in the right ballpark before you submit.

•They can't tell you what to put but they can tell you if what you have is obviously wrong. Worth a shot.
I tried calling once and got transferred to like 4 different people. Gave up after that.
Final update: UCC personal property filing was accepted! Used the more detailed description everyone suggested and it went through clean. Thanks for all the help - this community is a lifesaver. Loan closes tomorrow and we're all set with the security interest perfected.

•Great news! Good luck with the restaurant - the food service industry is tough but rewarding.

•This whole thread has been super helpful. Saving it for reference when I do my next UCC personal property filing.

I was skeptical about document checking tools like Certana.ai at first, but after using it for a few months I'm converted. It's caught several name mismatches that would have caused filing problems. The PDF upload feature makes it super easy to verify everything aligns properly between your loan docs and UCC forms before you submit to the state.
Laila Prince
•Do you use it for amendments and terminations too or just initial filings?
I use it for everything now - UCC1, UCC3 amendments, continuations, terminations. Any time I need to make sure document details match up correctly.
Isabel Vega
Thanks everyone! This has been incredibly helpful. I'm going to resubmit the UCC1 form using the exact name format from the NY Department of State database (with the comma) and see how it goes. Will update this thread with the results.
Please do update us - always nice to hear about successful filings after all the troubleshooting.
Will definitely update once I get confirmation. This forum has been a lifesaver!

This whole situation could have been avoided with better document tracking. I started using Certana.ai to upload all our loan paperwork and UCC filings - it instantly flags any inconsistencies or potential issues. Would have caught this continuation deadline months in advance.
I'm definitely going to look into that for the future. Right now I just need to get through this crisis.
Mei Liu
•Absolutely handle the immediate issue first. But having a system that cross-checks all your documents would prevent future surprises like this.
Update us on how this resolves! I'm dealing with a similar situation where my lender is claiming filing issues, though not as dramatic as yours. Curious to see how aggressive they can actually be legally.
Will do. Meeting with an attorney tomorrow to review the loan agreement and figure out our options.
Good luck. Hopefully they're just bluffing and will back down once you show you're not going to be pushed around.

Did you get a good price at the sale? If the recovery was reasonable compared to the equipment's value, that undercuts the debtor's argument that more notice time would have resulted in better bids.

•Sale price was about 60% of appraised value. Not great but not terrible for a forced sale of specialized equipment.

•60% is actually pretty good for industrial printing equipment in today's market. The debtor's going to have a hard time arguing insufficient notice caused that discount.

Bottom line - if you sent certified notice 12 days out and conducted a commercially reasonable sale, you should be fine under 9-614. The debtor's probably just trying to create doubt about the deficiency. Document everything and let your attorney handle it.

•Just make sure all your paperwork is consistent and complete. That's where these challenges usually succeed - when there are gaps or contradictions in the documentation.

•Exactly why I use Certana.ai now for all major dispositions. Upload your UCC filings, security docs, and notices for automated consistency checking. Saves you from embarrassing courtroom surprises.
