Undo And Redo In Legal California Accounts Receivables Forms For Free

A UCC (Uniform Commercial Code) financing statement is a mortgage or security agreement that uses personal property as collateral. These agreements are recorded in the county if real property is affected. Note: The Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk sells complete documents, not individual pages, of a document.

A UCC lien benefits the lender by establishing ?priority in case of debtor default or bankruptcy.? (California Secretary of State). A UCC lien is good for five years only. To retain priority status, it must be renewed, or continued, after five years.

If you need to remove a UCC filing form your credit report, ask the lender to file for its removal. In order to do this, they need to file a UCC-3 Financing Statement Amendment. You can also just wait it out. Depending on how long you have been with the lender, the filing may be removed within a few months.

1 filing is good for five years. After five years, it is considered lapsed and no longer valid. Should your debtor remain in debt to you and encounter financial difficulty or file for bankruptcy, you have no secured interest if your UCC1 filing has lapsed.

Completed forms along with the applicable fees can be mailed to Secretary of State, UCC Section, P.O. Box 942835, Sacramento, CA 94235-0001 or delivered in person (drop off) to the Sacramento office, 1500 11th Street, Sacramento, CA 95814.

Ask the lender to terminate the lien upon payoff. When you pay off a loan, a good rule of thumb is to immediately submit a request with the lender to file a UCC-3 form with your secretary of state. The UCC-3 will terminate the lien on your company's asset (or assets) and remove the UCC-1 filing.
