Protect Your Position with UCC eZFILE®'s Name Monitoring Feature
UCC eZFILE®'s Name Monitoring feature helps you to keep tabs on your debtors.
When you file a UCC, you need to track changes that could undermine your position. This is especially important since Revised Article 9 became effective. With this revision, signatures are no longer required for UCC filings. This means that the possibility of a third party accidentally terminating your filings has increased, along with the possibility of fraud.With UCC eZFILE®’s Name Monitoring feature, you now have a way to make sure you’re notified of subsequent filings on your UCCs, enabling you to respond quickly and protect your interests. This feature is available at a minimal cost and provides daily monitoring of debtor entities at the state level and monitoring of the UCC and/or Corporate databases. And monitoring protects you from more than just the actions of others. It also allows you to discover whether you have unintentionally terminated a filing yourself.
In addition to helping you to protect your position, we enable you to customize your monitoring options to mesh with your specific workflows. For example, you can choose to automatically monitor all of the debtor names in your UCC filings, or choose to monitor one name at a time as you need to. We also allow you to view a list of all the entity names you’re monitoring at any time.
To learn more about name monitoring, please contact us to schedule an online training session. If you don’t yet have a log in and password for UCC eZFILE®, we will set one up for you.
