Terms Used In Tennessee Code 47-9-506

(b)Financing statement seriously misleading. Except as otherwise provided in subsection (c), a financing statement that fails sufficiently to provide the name of the debtor in accordance with § 47-9-503(a) is seriously misleading.
(c)Financing statement not seriously misleading. 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 § 47-9-503(a), the name provided does not make the financing statement seriously misleading.
(d)“Debtor’s correct name”. For purposes of § 47-9-508(b), the “debtor’s correct name” in subsection (c) means the correct name of the new debtor.
