Section 9--520. Acceptance and Refusal to Accept Record  


Latest version.
  • (a) Mandatory  refusal  to accept record. A filing office shall refuse
      to accept a record  for  filing  for  a  reason  set  forth  in  Section   9--516(b) and may refuse to accept a record for filing only for a reason
      set forth in Section 9--516(b).
        (b) Communication  concerning  refusal.  If a filing office refuses to
      accept a record for filing, it shall  communicate  to  the  person  that
      presented the record the fact of and reason for the refusal and the date
      and time the record would have been filed had the filing office accepted
      it.  The  communication  must  be  made  at  the  time and in the manner
      prescribed by filing-office rule but, in the case  of  a  filing  office
      described  in  Section  9--501(a)(2), in no event more than two business
      days after the filing office receives the record.
        (c) When  filed  financing  statement  effective.  A  filed  financing
      statement satisfying Section 9--502(a) and (b) is effective, even if the
      filing  office  is  required  to  refuse  to  accept it for filing under
      subsection (a). However, Section 9--338 applies  to  a  filed  financing
      statement  providing information described in Section 9--516(b)(5) which
      is incorrect at the time the financing statement is filed.
