UCC eZFILE ®<br />

Online UCC Filing and Portfolio<br />

Management made eZ!<br />

UCC eZFILE ® Features<br />

Validation and Filing Review<br />

UCC eZFILE ® is programmed to know state-specific<br />

filing rules and electronically validates filings to ensure<br />

all jurisdictional requirements are met prior to state<br />

submission. But that’s not all; every filing is also<br />

reviewed by an in-house UCC expert to check for typos,<br />

naming errors and other costly filing mistakes.<br />

Continuation Alerts and Management<br />

Every filing submitted through UCC eZFILE® is<br />

electronically tracked for its lapse date*. As filings<br />

approach their lapse date, users receive emailed<br />

Continuation Alerts to remind them to take action. Or,<br />

outsource the entire continuation process to <strong>CLAS</strong> by<br />

enrolling in our Automatic Continuation program.<br />

With the <strong>CLAS</strong> UCC eZFILE® UCC filing<br />

and portfolio management system,<br />

you can prepare UCC Financing<br />

Statements and Amendments online and<br />

submit them electronically in 47 state<br />

jurisdictions nationwide.<br />

Why file electronically? Filing UCCs<br />

electronically improves turn-around<br />

time for acknowledgements, prevents<br />

indexing errors and reduces UCC<br />

filing costs.<br />

If you prefer to have your UCCs filed<br />

over the counter, UCC eZFILE® can still<br />

help! Use the system to prepare and<br />

track your UCC filings; <strong>CLAS</strong> will work<br />

with our vast network of local filing<br />

agents to deliver your documents to the<br />

filing office – the choice is yours!<br />

A system that is so intuitive and easy to<br />

use, there was only one name we could<br />

give it, UCC eZFILE®.<br />

Streamlined Document Preparation<br />

Personalized filing templates and saved books of<br />

debtor, secured party and collateral information help<br />

reduce repetitive typing and expedite UCC preparation.<br />

Global amendments enable users to prepare UCC3s for<br />

multiple UCC1 Financing Statements simultaneously.<br />

Customized Reports<br />

UCC eZFILE ® users can create and export customized<br />

reports of filing information including address and<br />

collateral book report, complete UCC filing detail<br />

reports and on-demand continuation reports to reflect<br />

filings set to lapse up to one year in advance.<br />

Project Organization<br />

With UCC eZFILE ® , multi-jurisdictional filing projects<br />

are a breeze. Filings can be combined as a project<br />

and managed as a group. Users create a master<br />

project filing, and then edit only jurisdiction-specific<br />

information, saving time and reducing risk of errors.<br />

UCC and Corporate Monitoring<br />

Through UCC eZFILE ® , users can sign up for our<br />

automated Debtor Monitoring program and receive<br />

timely notification of any new UCC or Corporate activity<br />

that could signal a credit risk and jeopardize their<br />

ability to collect.<br />

* Opt out available through user preferences.<br />
