New Mexico SOS UCC Search Results Missing Filed Continuation - Anyone Else Have This Issue?

Yes, I tried the new filing number but it's not showing up either. The confirmation email has the number but when I enter it in the search nothing comes back. That's what's making me nervous.

That's definitely unusual. If you have the confirmation email with the filing number, that's usually proof it was accepted. You might want to call their UCC office directly to check on the status.

That's reassuring to hear. Did you contact them or just wait it out? I'm getting pressure from my borrower to provide proof the continuation was filed.

I called after 2 weeks and they confirmed it was filed and would be searchable soon. They can look it up by the filing number even if it's not in the public search yet. The confirmation email should be enough proof for your borrower in the meantime.

That's interesting - I didn't even know that kind of checking tool existed. How does it work exactly?

You upload your original UCC-1 and the continuation documents, and it automatically compares debtor names, collateral descriptions, and other critical fields. Takes like 30 seconds and shows you exactly where there might be problems. Really useful for catching those tiny details that can void a filing.

Never heard of Certana.ai but that sounds like it could save a lot of headaches. These debtor name matching rules are so strict now.

That's concerning. Is there any way to get official confirmation that the filing is valid while waiting for it to appear in the search?

Yes, you can request a certified copy of the filing using your confirmation number. That's official proof it was accepted and is on file, even if it's not showing up in the online search yet.

I get the frustration, but to be fair, most states have pretty reliable systems. New Mexico just seems to have some indexing delays lately.

Delays are one thing, but 3+ weeks is ridiculous. These are time-sensitive filings that affect millions of dollars in collateral.

Do you know if they're working on fixing the search delay issue? This is really stressful when you need to verify filings quickly.

I heard they're aware of the problem and working on it, but no timeline for when it'll be resolved. For now, calling their office is the best way to verify recent filings.

Did it eventually show up on its own or did you have to do something to get it indexed?

Eventually showed up on its own, but it took forever. Really frustrating when you're trying to clear a lien and can't prove it was terminated.

That sounds really helpful. Is it expensive to use?

It's worth it for the peace of mind. Much cheaper than having to deal with ineffective filings or missed deadlines because of document errors.

Thanks for the number! I'll call them first thing tomorrow morning. Hopefully they can at least confirm it's in their system.

They're usually pretty helpful. Just have your confirmation number ready when you call.

Oh no, that's my worst fear. How did you catch the error?

I used one of those document checking services - Certana.ai I think. Uploaded both my original UCC-1 and the continuation and it immediately flagged the name discrepancy. Had to file an amendment to fix it.

I'm definitely going to check that out. Better to know now if there's a problem than find out later when it's too late.

Great news! Glad you got it sorted out. Hopefully they fix their search system soon.

That's exactly what happened to me. The filing was there all along, just not searchable. Thanks for the update!
