UCC1 and UCC2 statements are used to show that there is a lien on property. The UCC3 statement is used when there is a change in the UCC1, such as a release (cancellation), partial or complete assignment of lien, amendment or termination of the loan.

The UCC's general rule is that a financing statement remains valid for a period of five years from the date of filing. Unless a continuation statement is properly filed before expiration of the five year period, the effectiveness of the financing statement will lapse.

UCC-3 is an amendment or ?continuation statement? that the owner files to renew the UCC-1 for another 5-year period. Unless a continuation statement is filed before the expiration of the UCC-1's 5-year period, the owner must file a new UCC-1.

UCC Filing in Georgia UCCs, fixtures, mortgages and deeds are all filed at the county. Instead of having the Secretary of State as its central filing office for UCCs, the state utilizes an outside vendor, the Georgia Superior Court Clerks' Cooperative Authority, also known as the Clerk's Authority or GSCCCA.

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.
