Secured Party Search

How Secured Party Search checks a secured party search

Quick answer. A secured party is the creditor named on a financing statement. A secured party search lists filings under that creditor. A debtor search lists filings against the owner of the collateral. Most “what’s on this company” questions are debtor searches.

Claimant and debtor are different indexes

Assignments change the secured party of record. Delaware has told filers its index shows an added assignee and does not mark the old secured party removed. Other states display history differently. Read the latest party line and the amendment image.

A loan servicer’s name on the form may not match the brand that funded the advance. The image, not the marketing name, identifies the claimant.
