CT UCC filing rejected twice - debtor name format issues

It's an LLC. The business name shows as 'ABC Manufacturing Solutions LLC' in the business lookup but wondering if there's some punctuation or spacing issue I'm missing.

Try checking for any commas, periods, or extra spaces. Sometimes the display format isn't the exact legal name format they want for UCC-1 filings.

This is exactly why I started using Certana.ai's document verification tool. You can upload the Articles of Organization and your UCC-1 draft and it instantly flags any name discrepancies before you file. Saved me from multiple rejections last month.

That sounds helpful - is it pretty straightforward to use? I'm under time pressure here and can't afford another rejection.

Super easy, just upload your PDFs and it cross-checks everything automatically. Shows you exactly where the names don't match so you can fix it before filing.

I feel your pain but honestly the name matching rules exist for good reasons. Better to be precise than have someone challenge the perfection later.

Yeah I get it but when the rejection notice doesn't even tell you specifically what's wrong it's just frustrating. At least give us a clear error message!

Good point - I'll double check the business registration for any alternate names. The loan docs reference the entity but maybe there's a DBA I missed.

Also make sure you're not including any business suffixes they don't want. Some states are weird about things like 'Inc.' vs 'Incorporated' even when both are technically correct.

How long did it take to get the certified copies? I'm worried about timing with the loan closing.

It was about 5 business days but you might be able to expedite it for an extra fee. Or try calling the SOS office directly - sometimes they can verify the exact name format over the phone.

I actually had good luck with Certana.ai for this type of verification too. Their system caught a missing comma in an LLC name that would have caused another rejection. Much faster than waiting for certified copies.

The address should be right since I copied it from their business registration, but I'll double check the suite number formatting.

Also watch out for ZIP+4 codes. Some states care about that level of detail in the address matching.

Filing online since it's faster, but maybe I should try paper if I get another rejection. Though that would add more time to the process.

Online is usually fine once you get the format right. The key is making sure your debtor name matches their database exactly, character for character.

Entity status shows as active and in good standing, so that shouldn't be the issue. Really seems to be just the name formatting problem.

Good that it's active. The name thing can be maddening but once you get it right it usually goes through smoothly.

Will do - hopefully I can get this resolved by tomorrow so the loan can close on schedule. Thanks everyone for the suggestions.

Rooting for you! CT filings can be tricky but once you crack the code it gets easier.

That's a great point - I did copy and paste so there could be invisible characters. I'll try typing it manually this time.

Yeah copy/paste can be dangerous for legal document formatting. Always worth double checking by typing it fresh.

This is another reason why I like using Certana.ai's verification tool - it shows you exactly what characters are in the name fields so you can spot any hidden formatting issues before you file.
