Background

...

Support receives a request that a customer needs a release of UCC lien so that they can refinance their home (also called subordination). A UCC lien is a lien that is placed on the solar system, not the home itself. When a homeowner wants to refinance their home, they need to have the lien removed. The customer should be referred to account servicing. Account servicing will notify the homeowner that there is a fee for this service. Account servicing will remove the lien, complete the refinance and put the lien back on the system.

Agents can either transfer the call to Account Servicing (319-734-4951) or create a ticket to put the homeowner in contact with Account Servicing

Lien removal requests can only be processed if they come from the homeowner or the title company.

If a request for lien removal is received

EverBright files the UCC lien after M2 completion. The lien may be placed before the booking file is sent to Account Servicing in which case they will have no record of the lien. Navigate to the job in engine to confirm that the customer has reached PTO. If YES, proceed with processing the request per the instructions below.

If the customer has not reached PTO AND they have a PPA or RIC 2.0, the lien may have been filed before Account Servicing has a record of the account. In these cases, the installation has been complete (M2 approved), but the Inservice Date and GreatAmerica Final Acceptance Transfer tasks have not been completed:

...

In these cases, EB will need to send over a copy of the UCC filing to Account Servicing.

• Tag Laura Miller (Unlicensed) in the ticket and request she send a copy of the UCC filing to Account Servicing

UCC Lien Removal Fee Requests

In the event that Account Servicing or the homeowner inquires about waiving UCC Fees.

“HelloHello,

We are not able to waive the $350 fee associated with the removal of the UCC lien. This is due to the fact that the county and processor charge a fee for administering UCC liens.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you,
