UCC FILING DEFINED / GENERAL INFORMATION. ? The purpose of a UCC filing is produce evidence that a debtor and a secured party intend to engage in or have engaged in a secured transaction using specified collateral as security. In January of 1990, Louisiana adopted the Uniform Commercial Code.

A creditor files a UCC-1 to provide notice to interested parties that he or she has a security interest in a debtor's personal property. This personal property is being used as collateral in some type of secured transaction, usually a loan or a lease.

UCC-1 Financing Statements may be filed with any Louisiana Parish Clerk of Court without regard to the debtor's address, location of the collateral or of any related immovable. Initial Financing Statements can now be submitted to any Louisiana Parish Clerk of Court online through the Secretary of State's website.

Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) filings allow creditors to notify other creditors about a debtor's assets used as collateral for a secured transaction. UCC liens filed with Secretary of State offices act as a public notice by the "creditor" of the creditor's interest in the property.
