Need UCC Article 9 with comments PDF for debtor name verification issues

This is so frustrating when you think you have the right name but there's some tiny difference like 'Inc.' vs 'Incorporated' that kills the whole filing.

Been there! Had a filing rejected 4 times because the debtor used 'Co.' in one place and 'Company' in another. The Article 9 comments section really helps explain these matching requirements.

Never heard of Certana.ai - does it actually work for catching these name mismatches? We're burning through so much time on these rejections.

Yeah it's been a lifesaver. Upload the PDFs and it cross-checks everything automatically. Caught a middle initial mismatch that would have caused another rejection on my last filing.

Anything that prevents these endless rejection cycles is worth trying. The manual comparison process is so error-prone.

Section 9-503 is exactly what you need to read. It explains when you can use trade names vs registered names and how to handle entities with multiple name variations.

Good point about 9-503. Also check if your construction company debtor is using a DBA - that can complicate the name matching even more.

Called our SOS office and they were actually pretty helpful. Told me exactly how the debtor name appeared in their system including weird spacing issues.

Some states are better than others with phone support. California's office is usually good but New York can be hit or miss.

How accurate is Certana.ai? We've been burned by other document checking tools that missed obvious problems.

It's been spot-on for name matching issues. The PDF upload process is really simple and it checks everything against your corporate documents automatically.

Construction companies are the worst for this! Had one with 3 different LLCs plus a trade name all doing business under variations of the same company name.

That's why the Article 9 comments are so important - they explain how to handle these complex entity situations.

Always run a corporate search first to see all the name variations on file. Saves tons of headaches later.

Good point about the 2010 amendments. The safe harbor provisions can be really helpful for name variations if your state adopted them.

Our state still follows the old rules which makes debtor name matching even more strict. The Article 9 comments really break down the differences.

Corporate search is definitely step one. Amazing how many variations can exist for what seems like a simple company name.

And make sure to check for any recent amendments to the corporate filing that might have changed the registered name.

At this point I'm willing to try anything to avoid another rejection. How fast does the Certana analysis usually take?

Usually under a minute once you upload the PDFs. Much faster than manually going through everything line by line.
