A. The UCC-1 form is used to establish a creditor's claim on personal property as collateral. By filing this form, creditors notify the public and other potential creditors of their interest in specific assets. It creates a public record that determines the priority of competing claims.
What is a UCC-1? A UCC-1 is a “financing statement” filed to provide notice that a creditor has a security interest in a debtor's personal property. It is not an agreement. It is a notice d that one person claims an interest in someone else's property, usually as collateral for a debt.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
