How to File An UCC1 in Australia

Q: Very grateful for you website.
Can you show me how to file a UCC-1 in Australia?
Or if possible point me in the right direction to find out how to do
this in Australia.

Many thanks R S

A: What you can do is file through a Sate in the United States as it will cover Australia – go back to my site and do a search for UCC1 filing offices in the States.

In Canada we have the Personal Property Security Act and I suspect now that you may have something similar – I would do a search online and/or Call land titles and ask where would one file a lien and/or Call your court house and ask where one would file a lien against someones personal property say against a car for a car loan. You should find the equilivalent act with a little digging.

Make sure you establish yourself as the creditor on the basis of a contractual arrangement and then file the lien – it must have those 2 elements. The lien by itself is worthless unless it is substantiated.

If you wish I can file the ucc1 for you and create a security agreement to back it up. You may then duplicate that in Australia essentially to cover all the bases. That with the copyright are very powerful tools
if you use them by giving notice to those that trespass on what you claim to be yours. [In this context read the answer to the question above – the issues are similar.]

Let me know what you find out.
