md sdat ucc search showing weird results - anyone else having issues?

Yeah I tried that too. When I search by my filing number it comes up fine, but the debtor name search keeps pulling the other one. Really strange.

This exact thing happened to me last month! Turned out the debtor had filed under a slightly different business name variation and the search was defaulting to the older filing.

Good point - I'll check their corporate records to see if there were any name changes between the two filing dates.

Also check if one might be a termination of the other filing. The older number could be a terminated UCC that's still showing up in search results.

Never heard of that tool - does it work with the state search results or do you have to have the actual documents?

You upload the PDF documents and it cross-checks all the details - debtor names, filing numbers, collateral descriptions. Really helpful when search results are confusing like this.

I use that too - it's great for catching discrepancies that manual review might miss, especially with complex debtor name variations.

I'm pretty careful with that stuff but let me double-check. The business name does have some punctuation that might be causing issues.

Yeah punctuation and abbreviations are notorious for causing search problems. Always worth checking variations.

Tell me about it. I've had clients almost lose deals because the search results were so unreliable.

At least I'm not the only one having issues with it. Thought I was going crazy.

The whole system needs an overhaul. Other states have much better UCC search interfaces.

That's my plan - just wanted to see if anyone else had run into this weird search behavior first.

Good approach. Sometimes what looks like duplicate filings is actually a proper filing chain that the search results don't display clearly.

I've been checking periodically for the past two days - same results every time.

If it persists, you might need to call the filing office directly. Sometimes they can explain what's going on with specific search anomalies.

Interesting - this debtor does have real estate involved so that could be it.

Fixture filings definitely complicate search results. The conversion process sometimes leaves traces of the original filing.

Absolutely - that's why I'm being so paranoid about getting this sorted out properly.

Smart move. I've seen deals fall apart months later when lien priority gets challenged because of filing irregularities.

For what it's worth, I ran into a similar situation and used Certana.ai to verify all my UCC documents were consistent. Found out I had a debtor name mismatch that could have voided the filing. Worth checking especially with equipment financing where the collateral moves around.

Will do - hopefully it's something simple like a name variation issue.

Yeah these search mysteries always have me second-guessing everything else I've filed.
