    General Information/Inquiry

    • 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.

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

    • A UCC lien is also referred to as a ‘subordination’ or ‘fixture filing’ which is a UCC filing that is recorded in the real property records, which then turns the security interest into a lien against the actual property where the fixture is located.

    • EverBright files the UCC lien after M2 completion.

    • Homeowners should never be billed for the UCC filing fee. Lien Solutions Wolter Kluwer/WKLS (a ‘contracted entity under GreatAmerica’Launch’) files all of the UCC filings with the state and local agencies on EverBright’s behalf.

    UCC Lien Removal Fee Requests

    • In the event that Account Servicing or the homeowner makes an inquiry about waiving UCC Fees:

    Hello,

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

    Thank you,

    [Agent Name]

    UCC Filing Fee solicitation

    • If a homeowner receives a bill regarding the UCC fee and registration, it is most likely a third-party solicitation and should be marked as such.

    • If it is not marked, follow the steps below:

    1. Ask the homeowner to send a photo of the letter to support@myeverbright.com.

    2. The agent will review the ticket with the Nehemiah @ EverBright or Eric Suarez to determine if further action is necessary. If determined to be a solicitation, reply to the homeowner:

    Hello (homeowner name),

    As indicated in the document, this is a third-party solicitation. You are not required to use their services and may disregard this notice.

    Regards,
    (agent name)
