Fill in the debtor's name and mailing address. It may be an individual, or it may be in the name of a business or organization. If the loan is in the name of the business, include the business mailing address. There is space for additional debtors. Include them exactly as they appeared on the loan agreement.

If you have not filed a UCC-1, then you are considered unsecured, and as such, you are placed in the ?back of the line,? behind the secured creditors. Secured creditors are taken care of first in the division of assets.

In addition to filing with the state, the UCC is filed with the County office that holds the county real estate records for the property. Filings for ownership entities are made in the state where the entity is registered. Filings for individuals are made in the state in which the individual resides.

"Address" means either (1) a street address, route number (may include box) or P.O. Box number plus the city, state and zip code, or (2) an address that purports to be a mailing address outside the United States of America. "Amendment" means a UCC record that amends the information contained in a financing statement.

If the debtor name is incorrect or is misspelled, the UCC-1 filing may be invalid. This can cause creditors to lose their priority (or position) over other creditors who have filed financing statements against a borrower with the correct debtor information.

A UCC filing, also known as a UCC lien or a UCC-1, is a financing statement which lenders can file against your business with your secretary of state. When you take out a secured loan, the lender may file a lien to protect the asset(s) you committed to secure financing.
