  • Create case in Salesforce and assign to @Mark Fredericks

    • Request Type

      • System Transfer - Refinance

General Information/Inquiry

  • A UCC Filing is placed on the solar system, not the home itself.

  • When a homeowner wants to refinance their home, they need to have the filing removed.

  • Filing removal requests can only be processed if they come from the homeowner or the title company with a letter of representation.

  • EverBright files the UCC after M2 completion.

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

UCC Filing 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 filing due to the county and processor charging a fee for administering UCC filings.

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 @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) 

Example of a UCC fee request:

 

Copy of UCC Filing

Information

Information

  • If a homeowner contacts EverBright support requesting a copy of their UCC Filing, the agent should direct the homeowner to Account Servicing.

If the homeowner is requesting a copy of a UCC filing termination prior to the conversion to Account Servicing, create ticket and assign to @Brian Embry or @Nehemiah @ EverBright.

Payoffs:

Information

Information

How to handle Payoff Request copies from Account Servicing

Account Servicing will provide us with Payoff Request copies that were requested by the homeowner. These copies are only for record keeping.

How to Process the Ticket

EBH Ticket: Account Servicing

  • Update the ticket subject to “Payoff Copy- [customer name]”

  • Description: Job Address

  • Update the request type to ‘Payoff Request'

  • Reporter: clientservices@launchservicing.com

No response is needed.

Close the ticket.

Payoff Request as an Email/Ticket

The homeowner wishes to pay off their existing account balance on their solar system. The request can either come from the homeowner requesting a payoff quote or a payoff quote can come directly from Account Services (if the homeowner contacted account servicing directly to obtain the quote).

There is no penalty if a homeowner wishes to pay off the existing balance on the solar system early. An early pay-off would include only interest accrued to the point of payoff.

We cannot process a payoff request coming from an installer. If an installer requests a payoff for a homeowner, advise them that the homeowner would either need to call our Account Servicing department directly to request the payoff quote or provide a request in writing.
