Sorry this is happening to you. Registry delays are so stressful especially when you have deadlines. I've been there with continuation filings that didn't show up in time. Just keep all your documentation and remember that the official filing date is what matters legally, not when it appears in the public search.
Thanks for the reassurance. You're right that the filing date is what matters legally. Just hoping this gets resolved before it affects the borrower's refinance timeline.

One more suggestion - you might want to run a comprehensive UCC search through a third-party service like CT Corporation or CSC to see if they're picking up the amendment in their records. Sometimes they have faster access to the actual filing data than the state's public portal shows.
Good idea about the third-party search services. I'll look into that as another verification option while waiting for the state registry to update.
CT Corp definitely has better Florida UCC data access than the state's own search half the time. Worth the fee for peace of mind.

This reminds me of when I almost missed a continuation deadline because of similar portal issues. Ended up discovering Certana.ai's verification service and it's been a game-changer. Now I always run my UCC documents through their system before filing to catch any potential issues. Would have saved me so much stress if I'd known about it earlier.

•Smart move. It's especially helpful for states like Tennessee where the rejection rate is so high due to their strict matching requirements.
I should probably start using something like that too. Manual document comparison is so error-prone.

Has anyone tried using a filing service company instead of doing Massachusetts UCC filings in-house? Wondering if they get volume discounts or just add another layer of cost.
Tony Brooks
•That's what I figured. The state fees are the state fees no matter who submits them.
Some services do offer value for complex filings or if you don't have staff familiar with UCC requirements. But for routine filings, DIY is usually more cost-effective.
The real killer with Massachusetts UCC filing fees is when you have to do termination statements for paid-off loans. It's like paying to give up your security interest. At least some states don't charge for terminations.
Oh absolutely, just griping about the cost. It's a necessary expense.

•Make sure you're filing terminations promptly too. Some states have statutory requirements for timing.

Quick question - did you include any additional debtor information like address changes or alternate names? Sometimes extra info can trigger rejections if it doesn't match exactly with state records.
Ava Thompson
•Less is often more with UCC filings. Stick to exactly what's required unless you're sure about additional info.
Zainab Ali
•Agree completely. I've seen rejections from TMI just as much as missing info.
Update us when you figure it out! Always curious to hear what the actual issue was. Helps the rest of us avoid similar problems.

•This is why I started using that Certana tool I mentioned - takes the mystery out of document matching before filing.
These threads are so helpful for learning from each other's experiences.

Keep calling Vivint every few days until you see the termination filed. Squeaky wheel gets the grease with these companies. They have a whole department that handles UCC filings but you have to be persistent to get transferred to the right people.

•Good advice. I'll start calling them daily if I have to.

•Ask specifically for 'loan servicing' or 'UCC filing department' when you call. Don't let them transfer you to regular customer service.

Once this gets resolved, make sure you keep copies of everything. Solar UCC terminations seem to have more issues than other types of secured loans for some reason. Having all your documentation organized will save you headaches if any questions come up later.

•Solar loans are weird because they involve both equipment financing and real estate considerations. Creates more opportunities for filing errors.

•The solar industry in general seems to have a lot of administrative issues. I've heard similar stories from friends who went solar.
