The UCC-1 Financing Statement is filed to protect a lender's or creditor's security interest by giving public notice that there is a right to take possession of and sell certain assets for repayment of a specific debt with a certain debtor.
After receiving your request, the lender has 20 days to terminate the UCC filing.
The secured party has 20 days to either terminate the filing or send a termination statement to the debtor that the debtor can then file. If this does not happen within the 20-day time frame, the debtor may file a UCC-3 termination statement.
Rules vary by State around releasing a UCC lien after a borrower satisfied the debt. Primarily there are two main ways to remove them. One way is by having the lender file a UCC-3 Financing Statement Amendment. Another way to remove a UCC filing is by swearing an oath of full payment at the secretary of state office.
To continue the effectiveness of a UCC-1 financing statement beyond its initial 5-year effective period, a secured party must file a Continuation. A Continuation extends the life of the financing statement for an additional five years.Each Continuation must identify, by its file number, the UCC-1 to which it relates.
Why file a UCC-3 form? The UCC-3 is the Swiss-Army-Knife of forms. Unlike a UCC 1, a UCC 3 can be used for multiple purposes. The actions one can take are Amendment, Assignment, Continuation, and Termination.
A UCC1 financing statement is effective for a period of five years. A record that is not continued before its lapse date will cease to be effective, costing the secured party their perfected status and perhaps their priority position to collect. Once a financing statement has lapsed, it cannot be revived.
When the debtor has satisfied all amounts owed to the lender, a UCC-3 termination statement (now called a UCC termination statement) is routinely filed to terminate the security interest perfected by the UCC-1 financing statement.
Also known as a UCC-3, and, depending on the context, a UCC-3 financing statement amendment, a UCC-3 termination statement, and a UCC-3 continuation statement. Under the Uniform Commercial Code, a UCC-3 is used to continue, assign, terminate, or amend an existing UCC-1 financing statement (UCC-1).
