UCC Filings

When an applicant pledges collateral on a loan, Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) filings tell you if others have filed a claim against the same collateral. Sarma's UCC Searches and Reports give you access to up-to-date UCC filings.

Find Uniform Commercial Code filings from this quick, easy-to-read report. A (UCC) Uniform Commercial Code filing is a practice adopted by all states to govern commercial transactions. The UCC filings returned from Sarma's UCC Searches & Reports are usually liens between individuals and businesses (e.g., mortgages, equipment, and vehicles).

When Should I Use The UCC Search & Reports?

In addition to typical lending uses, UCC Search and Reports can be used effectively in collections. In many cases, debtors have liens associated with a commercial institution, so this is great skip tracing tool for finding an individual. The individual's address is returned with any matching UCC filings, and these addresses are often direct matches.
