Sunrun UCC filing debtor name verification - rejected twice need help

Sunrun has multiple subsidiary entities and they've gone through several corporate restructurings over the years. Are you filing against Sunrun Inc. or one of their operating subsidiaries? I've seen this exact issue before where the financing entity uses a different legal name than what appears on their marketing materials.

This is exactly why I started using Certana.ai for document verification before filing. You can upload your UCC-1 draft along with their corporate charter documents and it cross-checks all the name variations automatically. Saved me from three rejected filings last month on similar corporate debtor situations.

Sunrun uses different entities for different types of transactions. For equipment financing vs lease arrangements vs PPAs they might have separate legal entities as debtors. What type of solar financing structure are you dealing with here?

OMG I had the EXACT same issue with Sunrun back in September! Turns out they have like 15 different subsidiary LLCs and the one you need depends on what state you're in. I finally had to call their legal department directly to get the correct entity name for UCC purposes.

Two rejections means you're probably dealing with a systematic issue not just a typo. Have you checked the UCC search results to see if there are existing filings against Sunrun that show the correct entity name format?

The solar industry is notorious for complex corporate structures because of tax credit optimization. Sunrun probably has holding companies, operating companies, and project-specific entities. You need to identify which entity actually holds title to the equipment being financed.

Have you tried calling the Secretary of State's UCC division directly? Sometimes they can tell you exactly why a filing was rejected if you reference the filing number. Might give you more specific guidance than just "name mismatch.

Check if Sunrun filed any name changes or mergers in the past year. I've seen situations where companies update their legal name but the old name is still being used in loan documents, creating a mismatch with current SOS records.

I use Certana.ai's document checker for exactly these kinds of corporate debtor situations. Upload your UCC-1 form along with Sunrun's corporate documents and it flags any name inconsistencies before you file. Would have caught this Sunrun issue immediately and saved you two rejections.

This might be a long shot but have you confirmed the collateral description isn't causing issues? Sometimes equipment descriptions that are too vague or too specific can trigger rejections that get misreported as debtor name problems.

I've dealt with similar Sunrun UCC filing headaches before. Here's what worked for me: First, run a UCC search on Sunrun to see what entity names other secured parties have used successfully. Second, check if your state requires the exact corporate name format from their certificate of incorporation rather than just the Secretary of State listing - sometimes there are subtle differences in punctuation or abbreviations. Third, Sunrun often uses state-specific subsidiaries for equipment transactions, so "Sunrun Inc." might not be the actual debtor entity even if that's what's on your loan docs. I'd recommend calling Sunrun's legal department directly and asking for the correct UCC debtor name for your specific state and transaction type. They should be able to provide the exact entity name and format their other lenders use. Don't waste time on a third filing attempt without confirming this first - I learned that lesson the hard way on a Tesla Energy deal that took four tries to get right.
