- (a) A financing statement substantially satisfying the requirements of this part is effective, even if it has minor errors or omissions, unless the errors or omissions make the financing statement seriously misleading.
- (b) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (c), a financing statement that fails sufficiently to provide the name of the debtor in accordance with subsection (a) of section 42a-9-503 is seriously misleading.
- (c) If a search of the records of the filing office under the debtor's correct name, using the filing office's standard search logic, if any, would disclose a financing statement that fails sufficiently to provide the name of the debtor in accordance with subsection (a) of section 42a-9-503, the name provided does not make the financing statement seriously misleading.
- (d) For purposes of subsection (b) of section 42a-9-508, the “debtor's correct name” in subsection (c) means the correct name of the new debtor.
