UCC Nevada filing rejected twice - debtor name format issue

I thought I did but maybe I was looking at a summary. Let me check the actual filed documents again.

This happens more than you'd think. The display name and the actual legal name can have tiny differences that kill your filing.

Good point. I'll do a broader search for any alternate names.

Also check if they've amended their articles recently. Sometimes there's a lag between the amendment and what shows up in searches.

That sounds like exactly what I need right now. How accurate is it with catching these tiny formatting differences?

It caught things I never would have noticed. Spaces, punctuation, even abbreviations that don't match. Much better than trying to compare documents by eye.

I've been hearing about Certana.ai but haven't tried it yet. Do you upload the actual charter PDF?

Yep, just drag and drop the charter PDF and your UCC-1 draft. It does the comparison automatically and highlights any discrepancies.

Did you get through to someone helpful when you called? I tried yesterday but got transferred around.

Hit or miss honestly. Sometimes you get someone who actually knows the system, sometimes not. But when you do get the right person they can tell you exactly what format they want.

At least Nevada processes relatively fast once you get it right. Delaware takes forever even when everything's perfect.

Speed doesn't help when you can't get the name format right in the first place lol

Interesting idea. I'll request one and see if the name format is different.

Good thinking. The certificate of good standing often shows the name exactly as it appears in their master database.

I thought the collateral description was pretty standard - 'all equipment' with serial numbers listed. But maybe I should be more specific?

For equipment that valuable, I'd be very specific. Serial numbers, makes, models, everything. Nevada likes detail.

How do you even fix an invisible character issue? That sounds like a nightmare.

I had to retype the entire name from scratch instead of copy/pasting. Somehow that fixed it.

Both times it just said 'Debtor name does not match records' or something equally unhelpful. No specifics at all.

That's the most frustrating part about Nevada. Their error messages tell you nothing useful.

Glad it worked! Those tiny formatting differences are so easy to miss but they'll kill your filing every time.

Periods after L.L.C.? That's so random. Good thing you caught it.

This is exactly why I always double-check documents now. One small mistake can derail everything.

That's probably smart. The $15 for a certified copy would have saved me days of stress.

Especially when you're dealing with multi-million dollar collateral. The extra cost is nothing compared to the delays.
