§ 55-9-506 — Effect of errors or omissions

(a) A financing statement substantially satisfying the requirements of Sections 55-9- 501 through 55-9-526 NMSA 1978 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) of this section, a financing statement that fails sufficiently to provide the name of the debtor in accordance with Subsection (a) of Section 55-9-503 NMSA 1978 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 55-9-503 NMSA 1978, the name provided does not make the financing statement seriously misleading. (d) For purposes of Subsection (b) of Section 55-9-508 NMSA 1978, the "debtor's correct name" in Subsection (c) of this section means the correct name of the new debtor.
