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.

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.
