New York UCC-1 lien filing rejected - debtor name format issue

Good point - I pulled their filing history and the most recent annual report shows 'Advanced Manufacturing Solutions, LLC' with the comma. That's what I used on the UCC-1.

Hmm, if you used the exact DOS name and still got rejected, there might be a system glitch. Try calling the UCC division directly - they're usually helpful with name format questions.

Ugh, this is why I hate NY filings. Every state has different quirks but NY seems to change their requirements randomly.

Tell me about it. I had one rejected because I used 'Inc.' instead of 'Incorporated' even though the client uses 'Inc.' on everything else.

So frustrating! I double-checked everything but apparently not the right everything.

That sounds really useful. Does it work with NY's specific formatting rules?

Yeah, it cross-checks against common state requirements. Just upload your PDFs and it highlights inconsistencies instantly. Much better than manually comparing documents line by line.

I've heard of Certana but never tried it. Might be worth it to avoid these rejections.

Smart thinking. I'll check their recent DOS filings to see if anything is pending.

Also worth checking if they have any DBAs registered. NY sometimes gets confused if there are multiple name variations on file.

Seriously? Font issues? That's insane.

I'm probably exaggerating but it was some formatting thing that made no sense. Took three tries to get it accepted.

NY has gotten better with their online system but yeah, they're still pickier than most states.

That's a great idea. I should have done that before filing. Will check now.

Yeah, always search first. I learned that the hard way after multiple rejections.

It's for manufacturing equipment, yes. I used 'all equipment, machinery, and fixtures' but maybe I need to be more specific.

For manufacturing, try something like 'all machinery, equipment, tools, fixtures, and inventory now owned or hereafter acquired' - gives broader coverage.

Also include 'located at [specific address]' if it's facility-specific collateral.

Oh man, I hope that's not the case here. The loan is supposed to close next week.

Hopefully it's just a formatting thing and not a name change issue. That was a real headache to sort out.

How much does something like that cost? These rejection fees are adding up.

Way cheaper than dealing with rejected filings and delayed closings. Plus it catches stuff you might miss manually.

Ugh, a period! That's exactly the kind of thing that drives everyone crazy about NY filings.

At least you found it! I spent days on a similar issue once.

Thanks everyone for the help. This forum saved me a lot of frustration and phone calls to the SOS office.

Glad you got it sorted! Those document checkers really do help catch these tiny but crucial details.
