Acknowledgment of filing or notice of refusal of a UCC document tendered by means other than personal delivery, EDI transmission or on-line transmission is sent to the secured party (or the first secured party if there are more than one) named on the UCC document or to the remitter if the remitter so requests by regular mail or by delivery service if the remitter provides a prepaid waybill or access to the remitter's account with the delivery service.
