How to Remove a UCC Lien Yourself

Typically, a lender should remove a UCC lien once you pay off their debt. Unfortunately, you might find that the UCC is still in place even after fully satisfying a debt. If you check your company's credit reports and find out you still have an outstanding UCC-1, you can take the following steps to remove the UCC lien.

Tell the lender to terminate the lien: Once you pay off the entire loan, submit a request to the lender, asking them to file a UCC-3 form to your secretary of state. This should lead to the termination of the UCC lien on your business's assets.
Visit your secretary of state office: You can also request to have the UCC removed by your secretary of state. Go to the office of the secretary of state and swear under an oath that you have satisfied the loan and you are requesting a UCC filing removal.

Even after asking a lender to terminate a lien after paying off the entire loan, this will not automatically lead to the removal of the UCC lien from your company credit reports. Yet, a UCC lien has significant effects on your business.

For instance, a UCC lien prevents you from making additional borrowing, especially for small businesses with limited assets. Lenders will not offer more funding when there is a blanket lien.
