| 3. Effectiveness of Rejected Record. Subsection (b) [Maine |
cite subsection (2)] provides an exclusive list of grounds upon |
which the filing office may reject a record. See Section 9- |
520(a)[Maine cite section 9-1520, subsection (1)]. Although some |
of these grounds would also be grounds for rendering a filed |
record ineffective (e.g., an initial financing statement does not |
provide a name for the debtor), many others would not be (e.g., |
an initial financing statement does not provide a mailing address |
for the debtor or secured party of record). Neither this section |
nor Section 9-520 [Maine cite section 9-1520] requires or |
authorizes the filing office to determine, or even consider, the |
accuracy of information provided in a record. For example, the |
State A filing office may not reject under subsection (b)(5)(C) |
[Maine cite subsection (2), paragraph (e), subparagraph (iii)] an |
initial financing statement indicating that the debtor is a State |
A corporation and providing a three-digit organizational |
identification number, even if all State A organizational |
identification numbers contain at least five digits and two |
letters. |
