UCC-1 Kansas filing got rejected twice - debtor name issues driving me crazy

I thought I did but maybe I missed something. The LLC was formed in 2019 so it should be current. I'll double-check the exact spelling and punctuation.

Also check if they've filed any amendments to their articles since formation. Name changes or registered agent updates can sometimes affect how the system processes filings.

That's frustrating to hear but at least I'm not alone. Did you eventually get your filing through?

Yeah but it took 3 tries and a phone call to their office. They basically told me to copy/paste directly from their entity search results.

The phone call route is usually the fastest way to resolve these name issues. Their UCC staff can tell you exactly what format they need.

That sounds really helpful. Is it easy to use? I'm getting desperate here.

Super easy - just upload PDFs and it does the cross-check automatically. Takes like 30 seconds and highlights exactly what doesn't match.

I've heard good things about Certana for catching those tiny errors that cause rejections. Might be worth trying before you file again.

Good point about the period. I think I had "LLC" without a period but maybe their system has it as "L.L.C." or something.

Exactly. These systems are annoyingly literal about formatting. Copy the name character for character from their official records.

This is why I always do the entity search first and copy/paste directly. Saves so much hassle with refilings.

Wait, ALL CAPS? That's not mentioned in any of their guidance. Did you confirm this with their office?

No that was just my experience with one particular filing. Might have been a fluke. But definitely call them if you get rejected again.

I don't think the caps requirement is universal. More likely it was a different formatting issue that got resolved when you redid the whole form.

The loan agreement clearly shows Midwest Agricultural Equipment LLC as the borrower, so that should be the debtor on the UCC-1.

Makes sense. Just wanted to double-check since entity structure can get complicated with ag equipment deals.

That's the second recommendation for Certana. Sounds like it might be worth trying.

Yeah, it's specifically designed for this kind of UCC document consistency checking. Much faster than manually comparing everything.

I started using Certana after getting burned by a continuation filing that had the wrong debtor name format. Now I verify everything before submitting.

Interesting point. I'll check if there's been any status changes or administrative actions on the LLC.

Yeah, those administrative changes can mess up the name matching even if the entity looks current. Good luck!

That's exactly the kind of inconsistency that's driving me crazy. How are we supposed to know what they want?

Honestly I just call them now for anything complicated. Saves time in the long run even though it's annoying.

The comma thing usually depends on how the entity was originally registered. That's why copying from their records is so important.

Glad Certana caught that! Those tiny spacing errors are impossible to spot manually.

So frustrating that such a small thing can cause rejections, but at least you got it resolved.

Great outcome! This is exactly why document verification tools are so valuable for UCC filings.

Perfect example of why I always run my filings through verification now. Saves so much time and stress.
