FAQ
Contact Your Lender Submit a termination demand letter, known as an “authenticated demand.” A UCC termination demand letter is a signed request you send to the lender asking them to cancel the UCC filing. Be sure to list the name and address of the lender, as noted on your financing statement.
How long does a UCC filing last? A UCC-1 filing is good for five years. After five years, it is considered lapsed and no longer valid.
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.
First, the debtor must send an authenticated demand to the secured party. The demand should be sent to the name/address of the secured party as indicated on the financing statement. 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.
When a debtor has satisfied all debts owed and/or collateral has been returned to the lender, a UCC amendment is routinely filed to terminate the security interest perfected by the UCC financing statement and is used to extinguish the lien before its 5-year term has ended.
UCC-3 assignments: This type of filing is used to transfer rights in a filing from one secured party to another. There are both “partial” and “full” assignments. UCC-3 terminations: A UCC-3 termination is used to extinguish the lien before its five-year term has ended.
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.
Correct filing location: File the fixture filing in the real property records of the county where the real estate is located and, if the collateral includes both personal property and fixtures, also in the central UCC filing office where the debtor is “located” (as per UCC Article 9's definition of debtor location).
The UCC-1 filing serves as evidence of a security interest, while a lien provides stronger legal authority, including the ability to seize or sell the property to recover the debt.
A rule of thumb when filing a UCC record is to file at the central filing office of the state where the debtor is located. However, there are exceptions, such as when the UCC records is filed as a fixture filing.
