UCC Filing Oregon - Debtor Name Rejected Twice Need Help

That's a great point - I was just using the Articles from formation. I'll request a current Certificate of Good Standing. Do you know if Oregon charges for those or can I get it online?

You can get it online through their business registry for like $10. It's worth it to avoid another rejection. The exact name formatting there should match what UCC expects.

This happened to me last year. Turned out there was a period after LLC that I kept missing. Oregon doesn't mess around with these details.

Oh wow, that could totally be it. I'll compare character by character. How long did your correction take to process?

Once I got the name exactly right it went through same day. But those rejections cost me almost two weeks total.

Never heard of that but sounds exactly what I need. Is it expensive to use?

It's just a simple upload process - you drag in your UCC form and the corporate docs and it cross-checks everything automatically. Really straightforward and caught the spacing issue I had been missing.

That actually sounds useful. I always manually compare documents but an automated check would be faster.

I feel your pain but the strict matching actually protects against fraudulent filings. Still annoying though.

I get the security aspect but come on, rejecting over a space character? There has to be a better way.

Electronic system. Should I try paper instead or stick with electronic once I get the name right?

Stick with electronic, it's faster processing once accepted. Just make sure you're copying from their exact electronic records.

Electronic is definitely the way to go. Paper takes forever and still has the same name matching requirements.

Good idea, though I wasn't sure if they'd give specific guidance over the phone. Worth a try though.

They're usually pretty helpful if you have the entity number handy. Sometimes they'll even tell you exactly how the name appears in their system.

That's a really good point about amendments. Corporate changes can definitely affect UCC filings.

I'll check for any amendments too. This LLC is only about 2 years old but you never know.

The Articles definitely say LLC so that should be right. But I'll double-check the Certificate of Good Standing when I get it.

Yeah, the CGS will be your best bet for the current official format.

Hidden characters would explain a lot! I'm definitely going to try that verification tool before submitting again.

Hidden characters are the worst. Sometimes copying from PDFs can introduce weird formatting that you can't see.

That's encouraging about the processing time. I'm really hoping to get this resolved this week.

You should be fine once you nail the name format. Oregon is strict but efficient.

Will do! I'm planning to get the Certificate of Good Standing tomorrow and try the document verification tool before resubmitting.

Good luck! Those tools really do help catch the tiny details that cause rejections.

Hope it works out. Name matching issues are so frustrating but usually have simple solutions once you find them.
