Uniform Commercial Code Statement

Assignment When a secured party needs to assign or transfer all or a portion of its rights to the collateral listed in a UCC-1 financing statement. It is considered an alteration of the previous filing.

A UCC-Uniform Commercial Code-1 statement is a legal notice filed by creditors as a way to publicly declare their rights to potentially obtain the personal properties of debtors who default on business loans they extend.

A creditor files a UCC-1 to provide notice to interested parties that he or she has a security interest in a debtor's personal property. This personal property is being used as collateral in some type of secured transaction, usually a loan or a lease.

Under the Uniform Commercial Code, a UCC-3 is used to continue, assign, terminate, or amend an existing UCC-1 financing statement (UCC-1).

To assign (1) some or all of Assignor's right to amend the identified financing statement, or (2) the Assignor's right to amend the identified financing statement with respect to some (but not all) of the collateral covered by the identified financing statement: Check box in item 3 and enter name of Assignee in item 7a

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.

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.

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.
