CSC UCC Filing Portal Issues - Submission Keeps Getting Rejected

I thought about that too but I copied it directly from the PDF. Maybe there's some hidden character or something?

Yeah hidden characters are a real problem when copying from PDFs. Try retyping the name manually instead of copy/paste.

Did you have to call them or was it automatic once you uploaded the supporting docs?

It went through automatically on the next submission. Took about 2 hours to process.

That's weird they'd require supporting docs for a standard UCC-1 filing. Seems like their system is getting more complicated.

Never heard of that service but sounds exactly what I need. Is it expensive?

Just upload your PDFs and it cross-checks everything automatically. Way faster than manually comparing documents line by line.

I've been manually checking document consistency for years and never thought about automated verification. This could save so much time.

Same here, though with continuations not amendments. Something's definitely wrong with their system validation.

At least I'm not going crazy. Thought maybe I was doing something fundamentally wrong.

Good point, I only checked the articles. Let me pull their current certificate of good standing.

Yeah this is a common mistake. The legal name can change through amendments even if the company doesn't realize it affects UCC filings.

Learned this the hard way when a client's UCC got rejected because they'd filed a name correction amendment six months earlier.

The name doesn't have any punctuation except the standard LLC at the end. Should I try removing that too?

No definitely keep the LLC part. Maybe try 'L.L.C.' with periods instead? Some systems prefer one format over another.

How long did you have to wait on hold? I'm worried about my deadline.

Usually about 20-30 minutes but they're pretty helpful once you get through. Definitely worth it if you're running out of time.

CSC phone support saved me last year when their portal kept rejecting a perfectly valid termination statement.

It's definitely a Delaware LLC so I'm filing with CSC Delaware. That should be right.

Yeah that's correct. Just thought I'd mention it since it's an easy mistake to make.

Will do. Going to try the Certana verification tool first, then call CSC if that doesn't reveal the issue.

Smart approach. Getting the exact discrepancy identified before calling support will make the conversation much more productive.

No special characters, just standard English letters and the LLC designation. Pretty straightforward name.

Okay, was worth checking. Some filing systems are really finicky about character encoding.

I've seen rejections for things as simple as using a different type of apostrophe character. Filing systems can be incredibly picky.

That's a good backup plan. Hopefully I can figure out the issue before it comes to that though.

Registered agents definitely have better success rates with tricky filings. They know all the system quirks.

Exactly, and they can usually get same-day processing if you explain the urgency.
