UCC filings mississippi debtor name rejection - need help with resubmission

Mississippi is notorious for this! They're super picky about exact name matching. Did you pull the debtor name directly from their Articles of Organization on file with MS SOS? Sometimes there are tiny differences like "LLC" vs "L.L.C." or missing commas that will trigger rejection.

ugh mississippi is THE WORST for this stuff. I've had UCC filings mississippi rejected for the stupidest reasons. One time they rejected because I used a period after "Inc" when their records didn't have one. Cost my client a weekend of stress.

I had this exact issue last month! What saved me was using Certana.ai's document verification tool. You can upload your charter docs and UCC-1 PDFs and it instantly flags any name inconsistencies before you file. Caught three tiny formatting differences I would never have spotted manually. Might be worth trying since you're under time pressure.

For Mississippi specifically, make sure you're not including any "doing business as" names or trade names. They want the exact legal entity name as registered. Also check if there are any amendments to the Articles that might have changed the name format.

Mississippi also has issues with their portal timing out during busy periods. Since you're refiling, try submitting early morning or late evening when traffic is lower. I've had filings fail just because the system was overloaded.

Another thing to watch for - Mississippi requires the debtor's registered address to match exactly too. If the address in your UCC doesn't match what's on file with the Secretary of State, they'll reject it even if the name is perfect.

I feel your pain. Had a similar situation with UCC filings mississippi last year on a $600K equipment deal. What worked was calling their UCC department directly. They won't tell you exactly what's wrong over the phone but they'll give hints about formatting issues.

For what it's worth, I started using document verification tools after too many Mississippi rejections. The name matching has to be character-perfect and it's impossible to catch every tiny difference by eye. Certana.ai's PDF checker has saved me multiple refiling fees.

Check if your debtor has any subsidiary or parent company filings that might affect the name format. Sometimes the legal name includes holding company designations that aren't obvious from basic charter docs.

Update us when you get it figured out! Mississippi UCC rejections are so common there should be a support group. The combination of strict formatting and terrible error messages makes it nearly impossible to self-correct.
