"We used to do all of our searching and filing directly with the Secretary of State, but we had trouble getting fast and accurate search results and all of our documents were on paper - none were organized and stored electronically. We also had the time-consuming task of cutting checks for every search and filing we did, which really delayed things. CSC solved all of our problems – right away - and its excellent customer service is just a phone call away whenever we need it."

Revised Article 9

Compliance with Revised Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code means the difference between a filing being accepted or rejected. The CSC Web solution provides tools to help ensure that filings are fully compliant with RA9 and are successfully submitted and perfected. Here are some of the features of the CSC Web solution that make it easy to stay compliant with the rules of RA9:

• Use of National Standard Form for UCC1 and UCC3
• Link to online corporate records to verify accuracy of name and organizational ID
• Highlighted fields to show information required by jurisdiction, e.g., Type of Entity, Organizational ID number and State of Incorporation - to take guessing out of the equation

"Filing with CSC means quick turnaround and the best possibility of getting our UCC filed first, just in case someone else is planning to file. And when it's time to continue our filings, it couldn't be simpler; all we do is choose the ones we want, click a button and it's done!"

"Before CSC we had no way of tracking and continuing filings other than using a spreadsheet and retyping the information. Now, filings are tracked online automatically. We just check the expiration report and select the ones that are due. CSC takes care of the rest. This saves us a ton of time and paperwork!"

One of the primary components of the CSC filing service is the "Document Center" portfolio management system.

• Secured Party searches can be conducted to ensure that all records are found and transferred to the CSC system
• A complete audit trail is maintained with all data available online - 24/7- for as long as the CSC relationship is in effect
• Any topic can be searched in the system - debtor, date, jurisdiction, etc.
• Dozens of customized reports can be generated for viewing, printing, e-mailing or exporting into Microsoft® Excel

A universal practice for loan processing in the lending community is to charge the cost of searching and filing back to the borrower. Most CSC clients pass on jurisdictional and vendor fees to the borrower to recover the actual cost of searching and filing and the labor and incidentals associated with the process. The fee is not substantial to the individual borrower, but is a substantial cost to the lender, often amounting to hundreds of thousands of dollars per year, or more. CSC helps you track and pass on costs to you borrowers.
