Updated 2023 UCC forms causing rejection issues - anyone else struggling?

That's exactly what I was afraid of. Did you figure out the specific formatting they want? I've tried removing commas, adding periods, but nothing seems to work.

The spacing thing is brutal. I had a filing rejected because I had two spaces instead of one between the first and middle name. Who has time to count spaces??

Good point about the entity designation. I wonder if that's part of my problem. The original filing has 'LLC' but maybe the new forms want 'L.L.C.' or something?

Entity designations are definitely pickier now. I've seen rejections for 'Inc.' vs 'Inc' (with and without the period). It's ridiculous how nitpicky they've gotten.

Wait, so now we have to guess which punctuation format they prefer? This is insane. How is anyone supposed to know these rules?

That sounds incredibly helpful right now. Does it work with the 2023 UCC forms specifically? I'm willing to try anything at this point.

Yes, it handles all the current form versions. Just upload both PDFs and it shows you exactly where the discrepancies are. Really takes the guesswork out of the name matching requirements.

I've been manually comparing documents for years. An automated tool like that would save so much time and stress.

A comma rejection?? That's exactly the kind of thing I'm worried about missing. I need to go through my filing with a magnifying glass.

This is why I hate electronic filing sometimes. At least with paper forms, human reviewers could use common sense about obvious name matches.

Definitely varies by state. Some have more forgiving validation systems than others. The federal requirements are the same but implementation differs.

Texas has been particularly strict with the new forms. Delaware seems more relaxed, but that might just be my experience.

Good to know. I'll adjust my approach based on the state I'm filing in.

Most states have already switched completely to the 2023 UCC forms. You probably need to bite the bullet and learn the new requirements.

Ugh, I was hoping I could delay this transition. Guess it's time to figure out the new system.

That's terrifying! So even if it gets accepted, it might not actually work? How do you check that?

Search by the original filing number and make sure your continuation appears in the chain. If it doesn't show up as linked, you have a serious problem.

This is exactly why UCC filing has become so stressful. Too many ways for things to go wrong silently.

They do have some auto-population, but it seems to create more problems than it solves. Sometimes the auto-filled data doesn't match your original filing exactly.

Great, so the 'helpful' features are actually causing filing rejections. That's just perfect.

Hearing that from someone with your experience makes me feel a little better about struggling with this. At least I'm not the only one.

Don't feel bad about it. These new requirements caught everyone off guard. The learning curve is steep but you'll get the hang of it.

15 years of experience and still having trouble - that tells you everything about how poorly this rollout was handled.

I keep hearing about this tool. At this point I'm desperate enough to try anything that might prevent another rejection.

It's really straightforward to use. Upload the PDFs and get instant feedback on any discrepancies. Takes the anxiety out of filing.

Glad you got it resolved! Those comma issues are so easy to miss when you're reviewing manually.

Congrats on getting it through. The relief when that acceptance notice comes in is amazing.

Perfect example of why the 2023 UCC forms are so frustrating. A missing comma shouldn't cause this much stress and delay.
