  • (a) Minor errors and omissions. A financing statement substantially satisfying the requirements of this part is effective, even if it has minor errors or omissions, unless the errors or omissions make the financing statement seriously misleading.

  • (b) Financing statement seriously misleading. Except as otherwise provided in subsection (c), a financing statement that fails sufficiently to provide the name of the debtor in accordance with § 9–503(a) is seriously misleading.

  • (c) Financing statement not seriously misleading. If a search of the records of the filing office under the debtor's correct name, using the filing office's standard search logic, if any, would disclose a financing statement that fails sufficiently to provide the name of the debtor in accordance with § 9–503(a), the name provided does not make the financing statement seriously misleading.

  • (d) “Debtor's correct name.” For purposes of § 9–508(b), the “debtor's correct name” in subsection (c) means the correct name of the new debtor.
