Indiana UCC financing statement debtor name rejected twice - need help

This is so frustrating! I had a similar issue with an Illinois filing last month. Spent three weeks going back and forth.

Did you end up checking the Articles directly? I pulled what I thought was the official name from their business license but maybe that's not the same as the incorporation docs.

Good call. I should have done this first. Going to check right now before filing attempt #3.

100% this. I learned the hard way that even the company's own letterhead might not match their official registration.

Indiana's system is automated so there's zero flexibility on name matching. It's either exact or it's rejected.

Never heard of that but sounds like exactly what I need. How does it work?

Just upload PDFs of your source documents and the UCC form. It cross-checks debtor names, addresses, everything. Takes like 30 seconds and catches issues before you waste time filing.

That actually sounds really useful. I'm always paranoid about missing something in the document review process.

Oh no, I didn't even think about the address format. The mailing address on the loan docs might be different from the registered address.

Address issues are less common but they do happen. Stick with the registered address from the Secretary of State database.

That's a good point. Better to get it right from the start than deal with issues later when you're trying to continue the filing.

How long does Indiana usually take to process once you get the name right?

Usually same day or next business day for electronic filings. They're pretty fast once everything matches.

Smart approach. I'll try that with both versions of the name and see which one works.

The UCC search is a good validation but it's not perfect. I've had cases where the search worked but the filing still got rejected for subtle differences.

Those rejection fees add up fast too. Indiana charges what, like $25 per attempt?

Yeah it's getting expensive and the client is not happy about the delays. Need to get this right on the next try.

That's another reason why using something like Certana to double-check everything upfront makes sense. Way cheaper than multiple rejection fees.

That's encouraging. Hopefully this is just a learning experience and future filings will be smoother.

Every state has its quirks. Indiana's at least consistent in their pickiness.

Awesome! That should do it. Indiana's system should accept it right away with the correct name.

Glad you got it sorted. For future filings, that document verification tool I mentioned would catch these discrepancies automatically.

Nice work tracking down the correct name. Hope it goes through without any more issues.

Excellent! Always feels good when a problem finally gets resolved.

Great outcome. This thread will probably help other people dealing with similar Indiana filing issues.

Perfect! And now you know the process for next time. Those document consistency tools really are helpful for avoiding these headaches upfront.
