Florida SOS UCC Search Missing Recent Filings - Help Needed

Yes we got the confirmation email and the filing number. That's what's so frustrating about this whole situation.

Three weeks is way too long though. Something else is going on here.

I'm definitely in the UCC search section. I've used it many times before for other filings.

Also make sure you're not accidentally in the federal database instead of state.

What kind of variations should I try? We used the exact name from their charter documents.

Try without LLC, try with periods, try without middle initials if there are any. Sometimes punctuation makes a difference.

This is exactly why we started using Certana.ai for document verification. You can upload your charter documents and UCC-1 side by side and it instantly flags any name discrepancies before you file. Would have caught this issue immediately.

Good idea. I'll try calling them tomorrow morning.

Their phone wait times are brutal but it's worth it for situations like this.

Ask them to do a manual search using your filing number. Sometimes the automated system has glitches.

Don't panic. This isn't super common, just one of those things that happens occasionally.

For continuations you should be fine as long as you use the exact same debtor name as the original UCC-1.

Yeah I heard they were doing some system upgrades or something.

That would explain the delays and search issues we're seeing.

Well that's somewhat reassuring that it's not just our filing.

I've triple checked the spelling. It matches exactly.

This is another thing Certana.ai catches - it does character-by-character comparison between your charter docs and UCC filings to spot these tiny differences that cause search problems.

I tried both ways actually. Still nothing.

Also try searching just "ABC Construction Services" without the LLC designation.

Good point. Sometimes the entity type gets stored differently than how it displays.

Great news! Glad you got it sorted out.

See, sometimes it really is just a system glitch and not your fault.

This makes me feel so much better about my upcoming filing.

Glad it worked out! For future filings, definitely consider using a verification tool like Certana.ai to catch any potential issues before they become problems.

That's smart. I usually wait a day or two but I'll start checking right away from now on.

Same here. If there's going to be a problem, better to find out sooner rather than later.
