INTRODUCTION

The Personal Property Security Registration System

The Personal Property Security Registration System (the “System”) is a computer-based

system with both registration and enquiry functions. Information submitted by registrants
is stored on a computer database and this information can be accessed by members of
the public who make an enquiry.

Persons involved in one of two basic types of transactions should make a registration in
the System to protect their interests. Creditors who secure payment of a debt by taking a
security interest in the personal property of their debtor should register a financing
statement under the Personal Property Security Act (PPSA). Persons who repair or store
an article and who, prior to receiving full payment give up possession of that article,
should register a claim for lien under the Repair and Storage Liens Act (RSLA). Register-
ing in the System pursuant to these Acts helps to establish priorities between individuals
with competing interests in the same personal property, and in the case of a claim for lien
will also ensure that the non-possessory lien is enforceable against third parties. Informa-
tion is kept current through the registration of a financing change statement (PPSA) or
change statement (RSLA).

The system is made up of a Central Registration Branch (“CRB”) and 49 branch registry
offices. The CRB serves as a collection point for all statements that are mailed in, and is
located in Toronto. The branch registry offices are dispersed throughout the province for
user convenience (See Appendix “J” for a list of branch registry office locations).

Registrations may be made in either paper form or electronically. Paper forms may be
tendered for registration by personal delivery at any branch registry office OR may be
mailed directly to the CRB. Upon receipt, whether at a branch registry office or at the
CRB, each statement is imprinted with a registration number, which number includes the
time of registration.

Electronic registrations may be submitted in any format provided that the Registrar has
approved of it and the registrant has entered into an “Electronic Registration Agreement”
with the Ministry. Authority to accept information electronically may be found in the
Electronic Registration Act and in amendments to the Personal Property Security Act.
There will be a time lag between the time assigned to a registration and the time of its
recording into the System. The Ministry’s objective is to reduce this time lag to a minimum
by having all registrations made on any given business day recorded in the System as
soon as possible. Therefore, all statements received at a branch registry office are
expedited forward to the Head Office so that they may be entered into the computer
system as promptly as possible.

A person who is intending to purchase personal property or who is intending to lend

money on the security of personal property will want to ensure that the owner has not
already pledged the property as security and that the property is not subject to any non-
possessory liens. A search of the owner’s name will inform the enquirer of any registra-
tions that have been recorded in the System and indexed under that name. A search can
also be conducted against the vehicle identification number of a motor vehicle.

The remainder of this Guide is divided into five parts:

Part I is a general introduction to the registration function of the System.

Part II is a step-by-step guide on how to complete the registration forms under
the PPSA.
Part III is a step-by-step guide on how to complete the registration forms under
the RSLA.
Part IV outlines the procedures to be followed to make an enquiry into the
System.
Part V Appendices

 PART I REGISTRATION

Introduction

The purpose of the parts of this Guide dealing with registration is to outline how to regis-
ter financing statements and financing change statements under the PPSA and claims
for lien and change statements under the RSLA in the Personal Property Security
Registration System (the “System”). As there is substantial similarity in the registration
requirements, registrations under the PPSA and the RSLA are made using the same
forms. Instructions for registration under the PPSA and the RSLA have been set out in
separate sections of this Guide. However, due to the similarities involved, certain parts
of the two sections have been combined to avoid undue repetition.

The following pages will begin with a general introduction to registration, applicable to
both the PPSA and the RSLA. This will be followed first by a section dealing with regis-
trations under the PPSA and next by a section dealing with registrations under the
RSLA. The concluding part of the section dealing with the RSLA will refer the reader
back to the section dealing with the PPSA for instructions. Note that wherever a section
of a Guide is directed both to registrants under the PPSA and to registrants under the
RSLA the terminology used will reflect this dual purpose and separate instructions will
be directed to each type of registrant where necessary.

Scope of the Personal Property Security Act and the Repair and Storage Liens Act

The PPSA provides a comprehensive set of rules to govern the rights of creditors and
debtors when personal property is used as collateral to secure payment of a debt. It
applies to every transaction that in substance creates a security interest in personal
property, including all transactions that previously had to be registered under the Corpo-
ration Securities Registration Act (“CSRA”).

The RSLA sets out the rights of owners and of persons entitled to claim a lien for the
repair, storage, or storage and repair of items of tangible personal property. The amount
of the lien is equal to the unpaid cost of the repair, storage, or storage and repair. A person
who retains possession of an article is a possessory lien claimant, while someone who
relinquishes possession of an article is a non-possessory lien claimant.

Under the PPSA, it is not security agreements that are registered, rather FINANCING
STATEMENTS and FINANCING CHANGE STATEMENTS are registered. In effect,
these statements give notice of security interests created in personal property to any
person who conducts an appropriate search in the System.

Under the RSLA, CLAIMS FOR LIEN and CHANGE STATEMENTS are registered. A
non-possessory lien is not enforceable against third parties unless a claim for lien has
been registered. Further, the non-possessory lien is not enforceable unless the lien
claimant obtains a signed acknowledgement of the debt from the person responsible for
paying for the repair or storage bill.

Where a security agreement secures property which “is or includes fixtures or goods that
may become fixtures or crops, or minerals or hydrocarbons to be extracted, or timber to
be cut” OR where the security interest in question is “in a right to payment under a lease,
mortgage or charge of real property to which this Act (“the PPSA”) applies”, registration
may be effected in the proper land registry office, as well as in the System. The document
registered in the proper land registry office is not a financing statement – it is a NOTICE
OF SECURITY INTEREST.

2
 PART I REGISTRATION

How to Register

A financing statement/claim for lien or financing change statement/change statement

may be submitted on paper forms or electronically.

Paper forms consist of a two part snapset and may be registered either in person at a
branch registry office or by mail to the CRB. Registrations submitted in person at a
branch registry office are imprinted with a registration number and the top copy (the
“Central Office Copy”) is forwarded to head office. The bottom copy (the “Registrant’s
Copy”) is returned to the registrant with the registration number imprinted on it.

When a paper form is submitted by mail, the Registrant’s Copy will not be returned to the
registrant. The registrant may wish to remove the copy before sending it in order to have
a record of what was forwarded for registration.

An electronic registration may be accepted in any format which has been approved by the
Registrar. Registrants wishing to submit registrations electronically are required to enter
into an agreement with the Ministry, setting out the terms and conditions of electronic
registration. For information on becoming an electronic registration client, contact the
PPSR Branch.

How Long is a Registration Valid?

A financing statement registered under the PPSA is valid from the time assigned to it by
the Registrar or Branch Registrar (which is included in its registration number), until the
end of the registration period set out on the financing statement together with the time set
out on any renewals.

The registration period that may be set out on a financing statement will depend on the
nature of the collateral. If the collateral is or includes consumer goods, the registration
period must be within 1-5 years inclusive (whole years only). In any other case, the
registration period may extend from 1-25 years inclusive (whole years only), or it may be
perpetual. A perpetual registration is valid until discharged.

The registration of a claim for lien under the RSLA is valid from the time assigned to it by
the Registrar or Branch Registrar (which is included in its registration number), until the
end of the earlier of the registration period entered on the claim for lien and any of its
renewals or three years. As a claim for lien cannot be valid for more than three years, the
registration period entered on the claim for lien must be from 1-3 years inclusive (whole
years only).

Under the PPSA, registrations that extend to consumer goods may be renewed in
increments of 1-5 years. Other registrations may be renewed in increments of 1-25 years,
or the renewals may be designated as “perpetual”.

Under the RSLA, the renewal of a claim for lien will only be effective so long as the total
period of registration does not extend beyond three years from the date of original
registration.

3
 PART I REGISTRATION

NOTE that the effect of a renewal will be to add to the original registration period the
number of years indicated by the renewal except for registrations that extend to con-
sumer goods. Example, a financing statement registered for 10 years and renewed at
any time prior to its expiry for 7 years, will be effective for a total of 17 years. Similarly, a
claim for lien registered for one year and renewed at any time prior to its expiry for
another year, will be effective for a total of 2 years. Where the collateral is or includes
consumer goods, the renewal will only be effective for the number of years indicated on
the renewal calculated from the time it is registered. Example, a financing statement
relating to consumer goods, which is registered for 3 years and renewed on its first
anniversary for 4 years will be effective for a total of 5 years (one plus 4 years).

Under the PPSA, once a registration expires or is discharged, it is no longer effective and
cannot be renewed. However, the security interest that was the subject of the expired or
discharged registration may be perfected again through registering a new financing
statement/form 1C.

Conversely, under the RSLA, when the registration period of a claim for lien expires or
when the claim for lien is discharged, the non-possessory lien is also discharged and
cannot be revived as an interest.

Types of Forms

There are four forms available to the registrant for registration in the System.

Form 1C: Financing Statement/Claim for Lien

Form 2C: Financing Change Statement/Change Statement
Form 3C: Financing Change Statement/Change Statement (and Verification
Statement)
Form 4C: Motor Vehicle Schedule.

The parts of this Guide dealing with registration will outline how to properly complete
each of these forms.

The financing statement/claim for lien or form 1C is the basic document registered under
the PPSA and the RSLA.

The financing change statement/change statement or form 2C is the document used to

record any change in the information presented on a financing statement/claim for lien or
on another financing change statement/change statement – it will update and correct the
record.

The form 3C and verification statement, unlike other forms, is produced by the System
and mailed to registrants.

The form 3C is perforated and may be separated from the verification statement. The
registrant is advised to retain the form 3C – a financing change statement/change state-
ment-for future use. It is designed to allow a registrant to register a renewal or a complete
discharge and at the same time minimizes the chance of error as most of the information
contained on this statement is pre-printed. The form 3C must only be used with respect to
a registration having the same reference file number as that which is preprinted on it.
(Refer to the discussion entitled “Linking of Registrations” for more information with
respect to the reference file number). If a registrant has not received or loses the form 3C,
the renewal or complete discharge may be made by registering a form 2C.

The verification statement reproduces information as it appears in the computer system.

It will allow a registrant to verify that the information recorded accurately reproduces that

4
 PART I REGISTRATION

provided on the financing statement/claim for lien or financing change statement/change

statement. Registrants should also check supporting documentation to ensure the
information is accurate. The verification statement may contain courtesy notices to alert
the registrant of possible irregularities made in the completion of the registered state-
ment.

The form 3C and verification statement is mailed out subsequent to every registration
that is made in the System. Subsequent to the registration of a financing statement/claim
for lien, it is mailed to the registering agent, if any. If there is no registering agent, it is sent
to the secured party(ies). Subsequent to the registration of a financing change statement/
change statement, it is mailed to the person who registered that statement (a secured
party, lien claimant or registering agent).

Note that the PPSA requires that a secured party deliver to the debtor either a copy of
the registered financing statement or financing change statement OR a verification
statement within 30 days of the date of registration. Failure to do so may result in a
penalty to the secured party.

A motor vehicle schedule/form 4C is never registered alone – it is always registered with

a financing statement/claim for lien or a financing change statement/change statement –
form 2C. The schedule becomes a page of the registered statement. A registrant who
needs to describe more than two motor vehicles as provided for on the financing state-
ment/claim for lien or financing change statement/change statement – form 2C should
use the motor vehicle schedule to describe the remaining motor vehicles.

The onus is on the registrant to ensure that the information recorded in the
System is accurate and up to date by registering financing change
statements/change statements.

Linking of Registrations

Every financing statement/claim for lien has a pre-printed file number located on the
upper right-hand corner of the form. Whenever a financing change statement/change
statement is registered, it is referenced to the financing statement/claim for lien by the
use of this file number. The financing statement/claim for lien is known as the “head of the
family” and any financing change statement/change statement referenced to it are
“members of the family”. (Linking of financing change statement to PPSA registrations
made before October 10, 1989 and the CSRA registrations is explained on page 25.)

If the reference file number is incorrectly entered on a financing change statement/

change statement, there are two things that can occur. If the incorrect number is one
which belongs to another family registered in the System, the financing change state-
ment/change statement will link up to that family. If the incorrect number is one which is
not already in the System, the financing change statement/change statement, in effect,
forms a family of its own. The PPSA and the RSLA give the Registrar the power to remove
these unlinked or improperly linked registrations upon notice to the secured party or lien
claimant. A financing change statement/change statement is also improperly linked if the
correct reference file number is entered, but the reference debtor name is not one which
has been entered on the financing statement/claim for lien or financing change state-
ment/change statement to which it relates. The Registrar has the power to remove these
improperly linked registrations upon notice to the secured party/lien claimant. Until they
are removed, an enquiry made against the reference debtor name as contained on the
financing change statement/change statement will include a report of these registrations.

5
 PART I REGISTRATION

Accuracy of Registrations

Central to the operation of the System, is the requirement of accuracy. The PPSA and the
RSLA provide that a financing statement/claim for lien or financing change statement/
change statement may be invalidated or its effect may be impaired by reason of an error
or omission therein or in its execution or registration if a reasonable person is likely to be
misled materially by the error or omission. As the System is indexed for enquiry purposes
against debtor names and vehicle identification numbers – when those names and
numbers are set out on the lines specifically designated for them – an error made in
entering this information could result in a registration not being reported on an enquiry. A
reasonable person would then likely be misled materially by the error. However, it is also
possible to so mislead when providing the other information required for the completion
of a financing statement/claim for lien or a financing change statement/change state-
ment, including, of course, information on any motor vehicle schedule registered with
such statements.

It should therefore be a basic requirement that a responsible person proof-check

the information transcribed onto any form.

NOTE: The Branch Registrar has the authority to refuse to accept for registration any
form that is incorrectly completed; that is contradictory on its face; or that is not
suitable for microfilming. However, it does not necessarily follow that a form
which is registered is free of such defects. The Branch Registrar’s authority to
refuse is intended to provide users of the System with assistance only, and not
with a guarantee. If a form presented for registration is not refused, it does not
follow that the form is free of defects.

Some Common Registration Information

Account Number

Account No. (if applicable) / No de compte (si pertinent) Registration Account Code / Code du compte d'enregistrement

This section appears on the top of all paper forms and is to be completed only by users of
the Personal Property Security Registration System (the “System”) who have established
invoice billing accounts with the Central Office of the System AND are paying for their
registrations by means of their accounts.

Account holders have Account Identifiers composed of a mix of 17 alphanumeric charac-

ters. The first 6 characters are the Master Account Number and the next 4 characters are
the Sub Account Number – together these constitute the Account Number. Each sub
account may have up to two codes, one for registration and one for enquiry. This code will
constitute the last 7 characters of the Account Identifier. The Registration Account Code
can be distinguished from the Enquiry Code in that it ends in the letter “R”.

In the section entitled “ Account No”, the registrant must enter the 10 character account
number.

In the section entitled “Registration Account Code”, the registrant must enter the 7 char-
acter registration account code.

6
PART I REGISTRATION

Registration Number

All registrations are assigned a registration number by the Ministry.

Registrations submitted in person at a branch registry office will be imprinted with a 20

digit registration number in the designated space at the top of each form:

Registration No. (for office use only) / No d'enregistrement (usage interne)

YYYY / AAAA MM / MM DD / JJ Time / Heure Branch / Bureau Sequence / Séquence

Registrations submitted by mail to CRB will be assigned a 20 digit registration number

which will be imprinted in the designated space down the left side of the form.

Registrations submitted electronically will be assigned a 20 digit registration number by

the computer system as the registrations are processed by the database.

The registration number is not randomly selected. The 20 digit number may be broken
down as follows:

first 8 digits Date of Registration

YYYY MM DD

next 4 digits Time of Registration

next 4 digits Either: registry number of the branch registry office where the
registration was submitted in person or by mail;

OR

the branch number assigned to an electronic registration client.

next 4 digits Sequence number

For example, registration number 19951026 1152 0019 1564 indicates that the registra-
tion was made October 26, 1995, at 11:52 a.m. in the Kingston branch registry office and
has sequence number 1564.

This section appears on Forms 1C, 2C and 4C. It is used to record the number of pages in
a registration when there is insufficient space on one form to record all of the information.

Leave it blank if the registration consists of only one page.

7
 PART I REGISTRATION

If a registration consists of more than one page, the additional forms will be treated as
pages of a multiple page registration and the boxes on the first page must be complete to
show that it is page “01” of, for example “02” pages. The boxes on the second page must
be completed to show that it is page “02” of “02” pages. On the second page, enter only
the additional information. DO NOT, for example, repeat the name and address of
the debtor or of the secured party. If, for example, the additional information
relates to a third (individual) debtor, only complete line 02, and complete line 04
only if the address of the third debtor differs from the address of the last recorded
debtor.

There is one exception to the rule of entering only additional information on second and
subsequent pages. When multiple page 2C forms are registered, the reference file
number on line 21 should be entered on each page of the multiple page 2C, and on line
00 of a motor vehicle schedule if it is attached to a 2C.

How Should the Forms be Typed?

The following are six simple rules to be observed when typing any of the forms. It is
extremely important to comply with these rules.

1. Use Capital Letters Only.

Information contained on the forms must be converted onto a computer file. The use of
only capital letters avoids the possibility of an error being made during this conversion
process as a result of a misinterpretation of a character. For example, the small letter “l”
and the numeral “1” are, on many typewriters, the same character.

NOTE: Do not use accents as the System is unable to accommodate them.

2. Use Only Approved Punctuation Marks or Symbols.

Only a limited number of punctuation marks and symbols may be recorded on the forms.
The approved ones are:

)(+.’&-/,%“$?*<=][\!>#

3. Align Forms Carefully.

Be sure to align the typewriter or printer so that typewritten characters will be placed
within the boxes.

For example, do not type to the left or to the right of the box, or above or below a box.

file number or birth date. As well, form 2C must be retyped if an error is made on line 22.
To correct other errors, “X” out the incorrect information, skip a space, and then retype the
word or number. If the error cannot be corrected so as to prevent any possible ambiguity,
retype the form, or if completing any of lines 41-56 on a form 4C, “X” out the line, and
begin again on the next line.

For example, do not correct an error as follows:

See instructions page 6.

File No / No de dossier

000000004

This space contains a pre-printed number called the “File Number”. DO NOT CONFUSE
the file number with the registration number. The file number identifies a group of state-
ments – it identifies a financing statement and all financing change statements related to
it. A registration number is the number imprinted on the first page of a statement and set
out on any subsequent page of the statement upon registration. Thus, every registered
statement has a unique registration number and every financing statement and all
financing change statements related to it – every family – has a unique file number.

It is essential that a registrant accurately enter the file number in the space provided for
recording a reference file number when filling out a form 2C or a form 4C. The reference
file number is pre-printed on the form 3C.

NOTE: If, when registering a financing statement more than one statement is used, i.e., it
is a multiple page registration consisting of two or more financing statements, the file
number for the registration is the file number on the first page. Ignore the file number on
the second and subsequent financing statements.

Caution
Filing /
Avertis-
Line 01 sement

Collateral brought into Ontario from another jurisdiction may already be subject to a
security interest or to an unpaid seller’s right to revindicate or resume possession of the
goods, pursuant to the laws of that jurisdiction. When a financing statement is registered
with respect to such collateral, an “X” must be entered in the caution filing box. A financing
statement may also be registered with respect to collateral that is still located in another
jurisdiction if the collateral is subject to a security interest in that jurisdiction and if it is
intended that the collateral will be brought into Ontario. These financing statements must
also be designated as caution filings by entering an “X” in the above box.

NOTE that it is not mandatory to provide the debtor’s date of birth when registering a
caution filing.

For example, for a debtor born June 12, 1961 enter 12 JUN 1961, 12 JUNE 1961 or
12 JUIN 1961.

Line 02
Initial /
First Given Name / Premier prénom Initiale Surname / Nom de famille

Enter an individual debtor’s first given name in the first box, the initial of the second given
name, if any, in the next box and the surname in the last box. BE CERTAIN THAT THE
NAME THAT IS ENTERED IS THE DEBTOR’S CORRECT NAME. An individual debtor’s
correct name may be determined by reference to a birth certificate, a certificate of
citizenship, or other appropriate document (See Appendix “D” for guidelines).
The initial of the second given name is used to differentiate between names such as
WILLIAM J. SMITH and WILLIAM B. SMITH, as well as to differentiate between
WILLIAM SMITH and WILLIAM J. SMITH. If an individual has a second given name, the
initial must be entered.

For example, if the debtor’s name is William Herman Joseph Smith, it must be entered as
WILLIAM H. SMITH.

If a registrant is uncertain which of an individual’s names is the first given name and which
is the surname, the registrant may wish to set the name out in two ways – one setting the
names out in one order and one setting them out in reverse order.

If the length of an individual’s first given name (including punctuation marks and spaces)
is longer than 19 characters or if the length of an individual’s surname (including punctua-
tion marks and spaces) is longer than 22 characters or both, enter only the first 19 or 22
characters or both, as the case may be, and the initial of the second given name, if any,
on line 02. Then, enter the entire first given name and surname, including the initial of the
second name, if any, on line 13, 14 or 15 of the General Collateral Description portion of
this form.

DO NOT USE:
– Nicknames or abbreviations, for example, do not use “Tom” for “Thomas” or “MJ”
for “Mary Jane”. (Of course, “MJ” or “Tom” must be used if that is really the
correct name).
– “Jr.” or “Sr.” or other designations to differentiate between generations.
– Titles, for example, do not use Mr. Mrs. Miss Ms. Dr. or Rev.

If the debtor’s correct name is not entered, an enquirer who subsequently searches
against the correct name may be misled. The PPSA provides that a registration may be
invalidated where a reasonable person is likely to be misled materially by an error or
omission.

NOTE: If the name of an individual person is entered on line 02, DO NOT complete line
03. If another name is to be recorded, use either line 05 if the name is that of an individual
person or line 06 if the name is that of an artificial body/business debtor.

Enter the business debtor’s name in full. A debtor who is not a natural person is consid-
ered an artificial body, and will be identified on the business debtor name line. MAKE
CERTAIN THAT THE NAME ENTERED IS THE CORRECT NAME. An artificial body’s
correct name may be determined by reference to an appropriate constituting document,
such as, for example, a company’s articles of incorporation. (See Appendix “B” for further
details). Note that for certain types of artificial bodies/business debtors the name re-
quired to be entered may be the name of a person who is not a debtor (for example, the
name of a corporation signing the security agreement on behalf of a debtor which is an
unincorporated association).

Only one debtor name should be entered on the two lines of space provided. The second
line of space has been provided to accommodate debtor names which are more than 66
characters.

NOTE: If line 02 has NOT been used to record the name of an individual person, use line
03 to record the name of an artificial body/business debtor. If line 02 or 03 has been used
and a second name is to be recorded, use either line 05 if the name is that of an individual
person or line 06 if the name is that of an artificial body/business debtor. (If a third name is
to be recorded, complete an additional form as an additional page).

TRADE NAMES: Where a debtor is carrying on business under a business or trade

name, the name of the debtor must be entered, and the business or trade name may be
entered.

If a business or trade name is set out, it must be set out on line 03 or line 06.

Therefore, if William J. Smith is carrying on business as ABC Restaurant, enter WILLIAM

J. SMITH on line 02 and ABC RESTAURANT on line 06 OR WILLIAM J. SMITH on line
05 and ABC RESTAURANT on line 03.

If ABC Company Limited is carrying on business as Smith Enterprises, enter ABC

COMPANY LIMITED on line 03 and SMITH ENTERPRISES on line 06 OR ABC COM-
PANY LIMITED on line 06 and SMITH ENTERPRISES on line 03.

The following are examples of business or trade names incorrectly entered.

DO NOT enter a business or trade name as:

SMITH ENTERPRISES A DIVISION OF ABC COMPANY LIMITED
SMITH ENTERPRISES AFFILIATE OF ABC COMPANY LIMITED

ENGLISH/FRENCH CORPORATE NAMES: The Ontario Business Corporations Act

provides that a corporation may set out its name in its articles of incorporation in an
English form, a French form, an English form and a French form, or a combined English
and French form and it may be legally designated by any such name.

If a corporation has both an English and a French form of its name, BOTH names must be
entered on the financing statement. DO NOT enter both on the same line. Enter one form
of the name on a business debtor name line, and the other form of the name on the other
business debtor name line – i.e., enter one form of the name on line 03 and the other form
of the name on line 06. The order in which the names are entered is irrelevant.

In every other case, on the appropriate business debtor name line, enter the corporate
name as it appears in the articles of incorporation – i.e., enter a French name in French
an English name in English, and a combined English and French name in the combined
form.

“Address” is not defined, save for the requirement that a postal code be included. If it
were defined and the wrong one inadvertently given, it could jeopardize the validity of the

The collateral must be classified. It may be classified as consumer goods, inventory,

equipment, accounts, or other. Other includes other kinds of collateral, such as docu-
ments of title, instruments, securities, chattel paper or intangibles (other than accounts).
If the collateral includes goods other than inventory, it must be described as either
consumer goods or equipment. The primary use for which the goods are acquired will
determine which box must be completed. If goods other than inventory have a secondary
use, a second box may be completed. For example, if goods are used or acquired for use
primarily for personal, family or household purposes, an “X” must be entered in the
“Consumer Goods” box and may also be entered in the “Equipment” box. If a registrant is
uncertain as to what the primary use of goods other than inventory is, a registrant should
enter an “X” in both the “Consumer Goods” box and the “Equipment” box.

If the security interest extends to collateral classified as consumer goods, the financing
statement and each renewal may only be registered for a period of five years or less.

Do not confuse the maturity date of the security agreement with the expiry date of the

Expiry dates relate to the registration period entered on a financing statement. For
example, a financing statement registered on June 17, 1992 for a registration period of 4
years will have an expiry date of June 17, 1996.

“Maturity Date” (or “date of maturity”) is defined in the Regulations made pursuant to the

If a motor vehicle is:

(a) classified as consumer goods, or
(b) classified as equipment and the secured party wishes to protect itself
against a buyer as provided in subsection 28(5) of the PPSA,

the motor vehicle must be described on line 11 or 12. If there are more than two motor
vehicles, the remaining motor vehicles should be described on a motor vehicle schedule/
form 4C. If a multiple page registration is made, lines 11 and 12 must be completed
before proceeding to a motor vehicle schedule.

The registrant does not have to set out other motor vehicles, (i.e. neither “a” nor “b”
above), on the financing statement. If, however, the registrant chooses to do so, and
wants these motor vehicles to be indexed for enquiry purposes against their vehicle
identification numbers, the registrant must describe these motor vehicles as provided for
on lines 11 and 12. If the registrant intends to provide a general description of motor
vehicles, the registrant may enter the description on lines 13-15 as long as the motor
vehicle identification numbers are not included in the description.

18
 PART II PPSA REGISTRATION

If a motor vehicle is described on line 11 or 12 or on a motor vehicle schedule, the Regula-

tions require,

a) the last four digits of the model year, if any, MUST be given (if none,
leave blank),
b) the make of the motor vehicle or the name of the manufacturer MUST be
given,
c) the model, if any, MUST be given (if none, leave blank), and
d) the motor vehicle identification number MUST be given.

For most manufactured automobiles, the above information will be relatively easy to
provide and must be given. For other types of vehicles, there may be no model year or
model, in which event the spaces must be left blank. There may be no make in which
event the name of the manufacturer must be entered (even if it is “homemade”).

Note that for the purposes of a motor vehicle description, the Regulations define a
“vehicle identification number” as meaning,

“the number that the person who constructed the motor vehicle affixed to it for
identification purposes.”

For all new automobiles sold in Canada after 1982, this number is made up of a unique
combination of 17 letters and numerals. While other motor vehicles have vehicle identifi-
cation numbers, they are not required to conform to this standard.

To ensure that the correct vehicle identification number is entered, copy the vehicle
identification number from the vehicle itself. Do not rely on the vehicle identification
number printed on the vehicle permit or “ownership”.

If the incorrect vehicle identification number is entered, an enquirer who subsequently

searches against the correct vehicle identification number may be misled. The PPSA
provides that a registration may be invalidated where a reasonable person is likely to be
misled materially by an error or omission.

General Collateral Description (PPSA optional) / Description générale du bien grevé (PPSA facultatif)
Line 13

Line 14

Line 15

These lines may be completed at the registrar’s option. It is for the secured party to
decide whether or not to include a description of collateral. Note that, except for proceeds
which are not required to be described and unless otherwise indicated, where any
description limits the scope of a class of the collateral, the secured party may only claim a
perfected security interest in the collateral as described. For example, if the classifica-
tion indicated on line 10 is “inventory” and lines 13,14 and 15 describe the collateral as
“all new and used television sets”, then the secured party connot claim a perfected sec-
urity interest in all of the debtor’s inventory. The new and used television sets will be the
only inventory in which the secured party has a perfected security interest.

Please note that when completing lines 13, 14 and 15, colons and semicolons should not
be used.

Sample Fact Situation and Completed Financing Statement

Matthew Johnson, is known to many residents in Timmins as “Matt”. As a sponsor of

minor league hockey, he is a popular fellow among many of the local families. Matt
operates a business, out of his home, that goes by the name “Matt’s Copy Centre”.

Business is so good that Matt has decided to open another copy centre in the east end of
the city. He meets with Mr. Drew, his bank manager at the Bank of Ontario. They discuss
the financing of the new premises.

Mr. Drew agrees to extend $25,000.00 to Matt, on the security of the equipment and
accounts of the Copy Centre. A security agreement to that effect is executed. The secu-
rity agreement includes an after-acquired property clause. According to the terms of the
agreement, Matt should have the loan paid off within 9 years.

Matt has a car which is used for business purposes only. To protect its interest as against
any buyers, should the car be sold by Matt, the Bank ‘describes’ it on the financing
statement so that the motor vehicle identification number can be indexed for enquiry
purposes. The Bank verifies the vehicle identification number of the car by checking it
against the vehicle identification number found in the car itself.

The Bank asks to see Matt’s birth certificate. It indicates that Matt’s full name is Matthew
Henry Samuel Johnson, and that his date of birth is August 25, 1945.

The Bank confirms that Matt resides at 716 Main Street E. in Timmins, postal code
P4N 8L8.

The Bank is located at 10 Queen St. E., in the city of Timmins, postal code P5N 6L3.
On April 17, 1990 the Bank registers the following financing statement for a period of 10
years, as it is expected that the loan will be paid off by then.

Financing Change Statement – Form 2C

How to Complete a Form 2C

The Form 2C is used to record amendments and changes to the file. The parts of the form
which must be completed depend on the type of change being made.

General Information

Account No. (if applicable) / No de compte (si pertinent) Registration Account Code / Code du compte d'enregistrement

Users of the System with invoice billing accounts must complete the Account Number
and Registration Code sections of the form. (See page 6 for instructions.)

Registration No. (for office use only) / No d'enregistrement (usage interne)

YYYY / AAAA MM / MM DD / JJ Time / Heure Branch / Bureau Sequence / Séquence

Registration numbers are assigned in accordance with the rules on page 7.

Five key pieces of information are required to be entered on every 2C:

1. Reference file number – Part 1; Line 21

Reference File Number (see reverse) / No de dossier de référence (voir au verso)

The number entered in this space is extremely important as it identifies which registration
is being amended or changed. The following rules must be followed in order to ensure
that the 2C links to its correct registration:

23
 PART II PPSA REGISTRATION

IF 2C REGISTERED TO.... ENTER ON LINE 21....

.... to amend a Form 1C, .... reference file number (9 digit number from
2C or 4C registration.. upper right corner of 1C)

.... to change the record of “C” family .... reference file number (9 digit number from
registrations (i.e., discharges, upper right corner of 1C)
renewals, transfers, assignments,
other changes)...

.... to amend a Form 1B, 2B or 3B ... reference file number assigned by the com-
3B... puter system (9 digits) OR registration num-
ber of the form being amended (16 digits)

.... to change the record of a “B” .... reference file number assigned by the com-
family of registrations... puter system OR the registration number of
the Form 1B

.... to amend or change the record .... reference file number assigned by the com-
of a CSRA registration... puter system OR the instrument number
assigned under the CSRA

If an incorrect number has been referenced and the number is not on file, the financing
change statement will not link to a registration and forms a family of its own. The new file
number assigned to one unlinked registration does not replace the file number of the
family being referenced. It is a number which applies to the unlinked registration only and
should not be used.

2. Reference Debtor Name

The debtor name entered above is used to confirm the accuracy of the number entered
on line 21. For this reason, the debtor name entered must exactly match the debtor name
previously recorded, even if that name was previously incorrectly entered. Although there
may be more than one debtor of record, enter the name of only one debtor. If the transac-
tion being recorded is a debtor’s transfer or partial transfer of collateral, enter the
transferor’s name.

If an amendment is being registered, enter the debtor name as it was set out on the
financing statement or financing change statement being amended. If the amendment is
being made to indicate that a financing statement should or should not have been
designated as a caution filing, enter the debtor name as it was set out on the financing
statement.

In all other cases, the registrant has the choice of entering the debtor name as it appears
on the financing statement or any financing change statement to which this financing
change statement relates.

Use line 23 to enter the name of an individual debtor, and line 24 to enter the name of a
business debtor.
24
 PART II PPSA REGISTRATION

If the length of an individual’s first given name (including punctuation marks and spaces)
is longer than 19 characters or if the length of an individual’s surname (including punctua-
tion marks and spaces) is longer than 22 characters or both, enter only the first 19 or 22
characters or both, as the case may be, on line 23.

3. Letter for Change Code – Part 1; Line 22

Enter Letter for Change

(see reverse) /
Indiquer la lettre - code de

The letter for change code entered in this space tells the computer system what type of
change is being made. The change code legend is as follows:

A Amendment
B Renewal
C Discharge
D Assignment by Secured Party
E Transfer by Debtor
F Partial Discharge
G Assignment of the Security Interest in Part of the Collateral by Secured Party
H Transfer of Part of the Collateral by Debtor
J Other Change

Instructions for these specific changes follows.

Registering Agent (if other than Secured Party / Lien Claimant) /Agent d'enregistrement (si autre que le créancier garanti / créancier privilégié)
Name / Nom

Address / Adresse City, etc. / Ville, etc. Prov. / Prov. Postal Code / Code postal

Enter the name and address of one of the secured parties or, if there is a registering
agent, enter either the name and address of the registering agent or of one of the secured
parties. It is mandatory that the postal code be included in the address entered. If the
address is a foreign one, the equivalent of the Canadian postal code, if any, must be
entered.

5. Authorized Signature

The authorized signature portion MUST be completed. Set out the name and signature of
the secured party, or the name of the secured party and the name and signature of the
secured party’s agent. See Appendix “A” for sample signatures.

Registering Specific Types of Changes

Each type of change that can be registered using a 2C requires that, in addition to the five
key pieces of information outlined above, other information also be entered on the form.
Specific instructions for each type of change are outlined below.
25
PART II PPSA REGISTRATION

Renewals

To register a renewal, enter the letter “B” in the letter for change box on line 22 of Part 1.
Enter in the following box on that line, the additional number of years the renewal should
add to the total registration period (i.e., the original registration period and any previous
renewals). Note that the effect of a renewal is to add to the registration period the number
of years indicated by the renewal except for registrations that extend to consumer goods.
Thus, a financing statement registered for 8 years and renewed at any time prior to its
expiry for 2 years, will be effective for a total of 10 years.

Where a registration does not extend to consumer goods, it may be renewed in incre-
ments of 1-25 years, or a renewal may be made for a perpetual period. The expiry date of
the registration will be reflected on the related verification statement. (See Portion of the
Guide dealing with the form 3C and verification statement).

Registrations may only be renewed in increments of 1-5 years if the collateral is or

includes consumer goods. This renewal will only be effective for the number of years
indicated on the renewal statement calculated from the time it is registered. Thus, a
financing statement registered for three years and renewed on its first anniversary for 4
years, will be effective for a total of 5 years (one plus 4 years). As the System will not
calculate the expiry date in this manner, the recipient of a verification statement relating
to a PPSA registration which extends to consumer goods should ignore the expiry date
on that verification statement.

NOTE that once a registration expires or is discharged, it is no longer effective and thus
cannot be renewed. However, the security interest that was the subject of the expired or
discharged registration may be perfected again by registering a new financing statement
(1C Form). Registrants should note that their priority might be affected in these situa-
tions.

Discharges

WHERE A SECURITY AGREEMENT SECURES AN INTEREST IN PERSONAL

PROPERTY WHICH INCLUDES CONSUMER GOODS, THE SECURED PARTY HAS
30 DAYS FROM THE DATE ALL OBLIGATIONS HAVE BEEN PERFORMED OR
FORGIVEN, TO REGISTER A FINANCING CHANGE STATEMENT DISCHARGING
THE REGISTRATION. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN A PENALTY TO THE
SECURED PARTY.

In every case, where a financing statement has been registered and all of the obligations
under the security agreement to which the registration relates have been performed or
some of those obligations have been performed and it is agreed to release part of the
collateral, any person with an interest in the collateral covered by the registration may
deliver a written notice to the secured party demanding a signed financing change
statement recording the discharge or partial discharge, be given to him/her at the place
set out in the notice.

To register, a discharge, enter the letter “C” in the letter for change box on line 22 of
Part 1.

To register a partial discharge, enter the letter “F” in the letter for change box on line 22 of
Part 1. Note as well, that it may be necessary to complete Part 5 of the financing change
statement. (DO NOT use a form 3C to register a partial discharge).

If the released collateral in a partial discharge includes a motor vehicle that was previ-
ously indexed by vehicle identification number – i.e., was described on a motor vehicle
schedule or either of lines 11 or 12 of a financing statement or financing change state-
ment – that motor vehicle MUST be described again on lines 11 or 12. If there are more

26
 PART II PPSA REGISTRATION

than two such motor vehicles, the remaining motor vehicles should be described on a
motor vehicle schedule. The registrant must not proceed to the motor vehicle schedule
without first describing two motor vehicles, one on each of lines 11 and 12. For detailed
instructions on how to properly describe a motor vehicle on lines 11 and 12 and the motor
vehicle schedule, refer to page 18.

The registrant does not have to describe other motor vehicles on the financing change
statement. If, however, the registrant chooses to do so, and wants these motor vehicles
to be indexed by vehicle identification number, the registrant must describe them as
provided for on lines 11 and 12. If the registrant is merely providing a general description
of motor vehicles, the registrant may enter the description on lines 13-15 as long as the
motor vehicle identification numbers are not included in the description.

Other types of collateral may be described on lines 13-15.

Transfers by Debtor of Collateral

Where a debtor transfers all of its interest in collateral, enter the letter “E” in the letter for
change box on line 22 of Part 1. If a debtor transfers its interest in only part of the collat-
eral, enter the letter “H” in the letter for change box on line 22 of Part 1.

Part 3 of the financing change statement MUST be completed for both complete and
partial transfers.

Enter the CORRECT NAME of the transferee on line 02/05 if the tranferee is a natural
person, and on line 03/06 if the transferee is an artificial body/business debtor. (Entry of
the Ontario Corporation Number of a business debtor is optional). If known, the date of
birth of a natural person must be entered. As well, the address of the transferee, including
the postal code (if any), must, if known, be entered on line 04/07.

For tranfers of part of the collateral, it may also be necessary to complete Part 5 of the
financing change statement. If the part of the collateral transferred includes a motor
vehicle that was previously indexed by vehicle identification number – i.e., was described
on a motor vehicle schedule or either of lines 11 or 12 of a financing statement or financ-
ing change statement – that motor vehicle MUST be described again on lines 11 or 12. If
there are more than two motor vehicles, the remaining motor vehicles should be de-
scribed on a motor vehicle schedule. The registrant must not proceed to the motor
vehicle schedule without first describing two motor vehicles, one on each of lines 11 and
12. For detailed instructions on how to properly describe a motor vehicle on lines 11 and
12 and the motor vehicle schedule, refer to page 18.

The registrant does not have to describe other motor vehicles on the financing change
statement. If, however, the registrant chooses to do so, and wants these motor vehicles

27
 PART II PPSA REGISTRATION

to be indexed by vehicle identification number, the registrant must describe them as

provided for on lines 11 and 12. If the registrant is merely providing a general description
of motor vehicles, the registrant may enter the description on lines 13-15 as long as the
motor vehicle identification numbers are not included in the description. Other types of
collateral may be described on lines 13-15.

Assignments

Where a secured party assigns its interest in collateral, enter the letter “D” in the letter for
change box on line 22 of Part 1. If a secured party assigns its interest in only part of the
collateral, enter the letter “G” in the letter for change box on line 22 of Part 1. Part 4 of the
financing change statement MUST be completed for both complete and partial assign-
ments.

Assignor (as recorded) /Cédant (tel qu'inscrit)

On line 29, enter the name of the assignor as recorded on the statement to which this
financing change statement relates. Enter the name of the assignee on line 08, and the
address of the assignee on line 09 – it is mandatory that the postal code be included. If
the address is a foreign one, the equivalent of the Canadian postal code, if any, must be
entered.

Note that the authorized signature, while mandatory, may be that of the assignor or
assignee.

With respect to a partial assignment, it may also be necessary to complete Part 5 of the
financing change statement. Where the secured party’s security interest in part of the
collateral has been assigned and that collateral includes a motor vehicle that was
previously indexed by vehicle identification number – i.e., was described on a motor
vehicle schedule or either of lines 11 or 12 of a financing statement or financing change
statement – that motor vehicle MUST be described again on lines 11 or 12. If there are
more than two motor vehicles, the remaining motor vehicles should be described on a
motor vehicle schedule. The registrant must not proceed to the motor vehicle schedule
without first describing two motor vehicles, one on each of lines 11 and 12. For detailed
instructions on how to properly describe a motor vehicle on lines 11 and 12 and the motor
vehicle schedule, refer to page 18.

The registrar does not have to describe other motor vehicles on the financing change
statement. If, however, the registrant chooses to do so, and wants these motor vehicles
to be indexed by vehicle identification number, the registrant must describe them as
provided for on lines 11 and 12. If the registrant is merely providing a general description
of motor vehicles, the registrant may enter the description on lines 13-15 as long as the
motor vehicle identification numbers are not included in the description.

Other types of collateral may be described on lines 13-15.

Note: If a secured party’s interest is assigned prior to the registration of a financing

statement:
a) a financing statement may be registered showing the assignee as the
secured party; or
28
 PART II PPSA REGISTRATION

b) a financing statement may be registered showing the assignor as the

secured party prior to registering a financing change statement record-
ing the assignment.

“Other Changes”

Regulations made pursuant to the PPSA indicate “Other Changes” to be either a subordi-
Line 25
nation or a seizure of a security interest. In either instance, the secured party must enter
Line 26
the letter “J” in the letter for change box on line 22 of Part 1, and must then complete Part
Line 27
2 of the financing change statement.
Line 28
Specify Other Change here /Préciser l'autre modification ici

Enter below Reasons for Amendment / Other Change Description /Motifs de correction à écrire ci-dessous / Description de l'autre modification

On lines 25-28 the type of change and particulars of the change must be recorded. For
example, if the seizure of a security interest is being recorded, lines 25-28 may indicate:

“By virtue of a writ of execution entered out of the Supreme Court of Ontario, the
Sheriff of the District of Algoma has seized the interest of ABC Company in a
chattel mortgage for $1500 in debt and $300 in costs.”

NOTE that in the case of a seizure, the signature required on the financing change
statement is the sheriff’s.

Amendments

To correct an error or omission made in a registered financing statement or financing

change statement, or to amend such statements in a way not elsewhere provided for,
enter an “A” in the letter for change box on line 22 of Part 1. (Note that to correct a refer-
ence file number that has been erroneously entered on a form 2C, a special procedure is
outlined later in this Guide).

Part 2 of the financing change statement must be completed. On lines 26-28, in the area
entitled “Enter below Reasons for Amendment/Other Change Description”, the reasons
for amendment must be set out briefly and accurately.

Where necessary, enter any new or corrected information on the appropriate line.

Types of Amendment

1. Substitution

A substitution occurs where there is already a line of information recorded in the System
and it is necessary to substitute a new line of information to correct or update the old
information.

For example, an error may have been made in transcribing the address of the secured
party onto a financing statement or financing change statement. This may be indicated by
entering the following on lines 26-28.

“The incorrect address was entered on line 09 of registration number

19970703160700152621.”

The registrant would then enter the correct address on line 09 of form 2C.
29
PART II PPSA REGISTRATION

Another example of a substitution is a debtor name change. Where a debtor has changed
its name, the following is one description which could be entered in the “Reasons for
Amendment”:

“The debtor name on line 02 of the financing statement has changed.”

The debtor’s new name would then be entered on line 02/05 of the financing change
statement.

NOTE: A substitution is not actually made in the System. It is made only notionally. The
new information is added to the file.

2. Addition

An addition will add a line of information to a registered financing statement or financing

change statement.

For example, the registrant may have entered on the statement the information relating
to only one debtor when in fact there were two debtors. This may be indicated by entering
on lines 26-28.

“Information relating to a second individual debtor was omitted from lines 05 and
07 of Registration Number 19991221100900124110.”

The registrant must then enter the necessary information – birth date, CORRECT NAME
and address of the debtor – on lines 02/05 and 04/07 of form 2C.

3. Deletion

A deletion will remove a line of information from a registered financing statement or

financing change statement.

For example, the registrant may have described two motor vehicles on lines 11 and 12
when there was a security interest in only one of the vehicles. It was therefore only nec-
essary to describe one motor vehicle. This would be indicated by entering on lines 26-28:

“The motor vehicle described on line 11 of Registration Number

19940916142700462601 is deleted as no security interest was taken in that
vehicle.”

NOTE: A deletion is not actually made in the System. It is made only notionally. The
direction to delete is recorded on the file.

4. Caution Filing

To indicate that a registration number should or should not have been designated as a
caution filing, the registrant must explain the situation on lines 26-28.

Note that if a registration was erroneoulsy designated as a caution filing, the date of birth
of any individual debtor MUST be added if it was not previously indicated. The complete
debtor name(s) with the correct date of birth must be entered on line 02/05.

5. Other Amendments

Where an amendment is of a kind other than those described above, simply enter the
reasons for amendment on lines 26-28. Where appropriate, enter any new information on
the correct line of form 2C.

30
PART II PPSA REGISTRATION

For example, a registrant may have entered a registration period of 18 years on a financ-
ing statement when the proper period was 10 years. This may be indicated by entering on
lines 26-28:

“The registration period was incorrectly entered on line 01 of Registration

Number 19980609141800221256.”

The registrant would then enter the appropriate registration period on line 22, in the box
entitled “Type in Total Correct Registration Period”. This box is to be used only to reduce
the registration period. Increases in the registration period must be treated as renewals.
As a further example, a registrant may have incorrectly designated the statute with
respect to which the registration was made. In the last box of line 01 of this form, the
registrant must enter a “P”. On lines 26-28, the registrant would indicate:

“This amendment is made as the statute with respect to which this registration
relates was incorrectly designated on line 01 of Registration Number
19910307140200022589.

An amendment to correct the statute under which a registration was made may require
that other amendments be recorded. For example, if amending to change a registration
under the RSLA to one under the PPSA and the “R” registration had nothing entered in
the collateral classification area on line 10, an amendment must also be made to the
collateral classification area on line 10. Line 10 would, therefore, have to be totally
redone.

Re: Incorrect Reference File Number/Registration Number

If the incorrect reference file number or registration number has been entered on line 21
of a form 2C, it is sufficient to correct the error by properly completing and registering
another form 2C. The registrant should be sure to enter the information as it should have
been entered on the original form 2C, taking special care to enter the correct reference
file number or registration number in the “Reference File Number” box.

If the form 2C with the incorrect reference file number or registration number was regis-
tered to record a change of debtor name or the transfer of a debtor’s interest in all or part
of the collateral, it is suggested that the registrant ALSO register a form 2C designated as
an “amendment”. The registrant must complete the general parts of this additional form
2C as outlined earlier in this Guide, taking care to enter the correct reference file number
or registration number in the “Reference File Number” box. The registrant should also
indicate on lines 26-28:

“The incorrect reference file number/registration number was entered on Financ-

ing Change Statement number 19961012111300431298 which recorded a
change of debtor name/transfer of collateral.”

Registration of the amendment will serve to indicate that a timely registration of the
change of debtor name or transfer of a debtor’s interest in all or part of the collateral was
made.

Corporation Securities Registration Act

The CSRA was repealed on October 10, 1989. Since then, the following information with
respect to undischarged registrations filed under the CSRA have been available in the
System:

(a) the name of the debtor as shown in the registration under the former Act;

(b) the registration number under the former Act; and

31
PART II PPSA REGISTRATION

(c) the following notation:

This registration was made under the Corporation Securities Registra-

tion Act (R.S.O. 1980, c. 94) or a predecessor thereof. A copy of the
instrument is available for inspection in the offices of the Ministry of
Consumer and Commercial Relations located at:

375 University Avenue, 3rd Floor

Toronto, Ontario
M5G 2J7

Certain provisions in the PPSA apply to CSRA registrations. Specifically, a secured party
may record a discharge, partial discharge, assignment, partial assignment, subordina-
tion or amendment. Further, a secured party must record any change in debtor name
within the time limits prescribed by the PPSA (see ss. 48(3) and 78(6)).

A secured party recording any of the above changes must:

(1) Complete the General Portions of the form 2C as outlined earlier in this Guide, to the
extent that they are applicable (beginning at page 23). Pay particular attention to the
instructions with regard to “Line 21 and the Reference File Number”;

(2) If registering a partial discharge, note that the description of released collateral is
optional, but if described, the collateral should be described on lines 13-15;

(3) If registering an assignment or partial assignment, refer to and follow the specific
instructions outlined earlier in this portion of the Guide with respect to “Assignments”,
to the extent they are applicable. With respect to the assignments of the secured
party’s interest in part of the collateral, a description of the collateral included in the
assignment is optional, but if described, the collateral must be described on lines
13-15;

(4) If registering a subordination, refer to and follow the specific instructions outlined
earlier in this portion of the Guide with respect to “Other Changes” to the extent that it
deals with subordination; and

(5) If registering an amendment, refer to and follow the specific instructions outlined in
this portion of the Guide with respect to “Amendments” to the extent that they are
applicable.

Sample Fact Situation and Completed Financing Change Statement/Form 2C

(The beginning of this fact situation is at the end of the discussion on Financing
Statements/Form 1C).

Matt becomes seriously ill four years later and is advised by his doctor to retire to warmer
climes. He sells his business to his niece, Lisa. Prior to doing so, he informs Mr. Drew of
this new development and obtains the Bank’s consent to the transfer of all of the collat-
eral to Lisa.

Within 15 days of the transfer, the Bank registers the following financing change state-
ment. The Bank first confirms that Lisa’s address is 5510 Birch Avenue, Timmins, postal
code P8R 1L1. The Bank also checks Lisa’s birth certificate which indicates her name is
Lisa Vernon, and that she was born on March 4, 1962. There was no second given name
set out on the birth certificate.

 PART II PPSA REGISTRATION

Form 3C and Verification Statement

The following discussion on the form 3C and verification statement applies to both the
PPSA and the RSLA.

For every financing statement/claim for lien (form 1C) and financing change statement/
change statement (form 2C or 3C) registered, a form 3C and verification statement is
generated by the System. When a financing statement/claim for lien is registered, a form
3C and verification statement is mailed to the secured party/lien claimant or to the
registering agent (if shown) whose name appears on page one of the registration. When
a financing change statement/change statement is registered, it is sent to the secured
party, lien claimant or registering agent who registered the financing change statement/
change statement.

A form 3C and verification statement is perforated and can be separated into two parts.

Form 3C

The form 3C is a financing change statement/change statement which is used to register

a complete discharge or a renewal. Some of the information on this form will be com-
pleted before it is mailed to the appropriate parties. (See above). Included in the com-
pleted information is a reference file number (line 31). If a form 1C is registered or a form
2C or 3C is registered referencing a form 1C, the reference file number will be the file
number located at the upper right-hand corner of the form 1C. If a form 2C is registered
referencing an A or B series form or a CSRA registration, the reference file number will be
a number assigned by the Registrar for that family of registrations.

A Form 3C may be used by a registrant to register a renewal or a complete discharge

BUT ONLY with respect to the family designated by the reference number pre-printed on
it. It may not be used to register a partial discharge.

 PART II PPSA REGISTRATION

Line 31 Renewal (B) OR Discharge (C) /

Renouvellement (B) OU Mainlevée (C)

Enter a “B” if registering a renewal, and a “C” if registering a discharge. Note that a
secured party or lien claimant is obliged, in certain circumstances, to register a financing
change statement or a change statement designated as a discharge within a specific
time period. For an explanation of the mandatory discharge requirements under:

(i) the PPSA, see page 26 of this Guide; and

(ii) the RSLA, see page 54 of this Guide.

Line 31
Enter Number of Additional Years if Renewal (see reverse) /
Indiquer le nombre d'années supplémentaires s'il s'agit d'un
renouvellement (voir au verso)

If registering a renewal, enter the number of additional years to be added to the total
registration period. Note that the effect of a renewal is to add to the registration period the
number of years indicated by the renewal except for registrations that extend to con-
sumer goods. Thus a financing statement registered for 8 years and renewed at any time
prior to its expiry for 2 years, will be effective for a total of 10 years. Similarly, a claim for
lien registered for 1 year and renewed at any time prior to its expiry for 2 years will be
effective for a total of 3 years.

Under the PPSA, where a registration does not extend to consumer goods, it may be
renewed in increments of 1-25 years, or a renewal may be made for a perpetual period.
The expiry date of the registration will be reflected on the related verification statement.
(See discussion relating to verification statements that follows).

Registrations may only be renewed in increments of 1-5 years if the collateral is or

includes consumer goods. The renewal will only be effective for the number of years
indicated on the renewal statement calculated from the time it is registered. Thus, a
financing statement registered for three years and renewed on its first anniversary for 4
years, will be effective for a total of 5 years (one plus 4 years). As the System will not
calculate the expiry date in this manner, the recipient of a verification statement relating
to a PPSA registration which extends to consumer goods should ignore the expiry date
on that verification statement.

Under the RSLA, registrations may only be renewed for a period of “1” or “2” years as
total registration period of a claim for lien cannot exceed 3 years. The expiry date of the
registration will be reflected on the related verification statement.

Note that a PPSA registration that expires or is discharged is no longer effective and,
therefore, cannot be renewed. The security interest that was the subject of the expired or
discharged registration may, however, be perfected again by the registration of a new
financing statement.

Note that should the registration period of a claim for lien expire or if the claim for lien is
discharged, the non-possessory lien to which the claim for lien relates is also discharged
and cannot be revived as an interest.

This section must be completed or else no verification statement can be produced.

“Signature of Secured Party, Lien Claimant or Agent”

The signature must be completed. Set out the name and signature of the secured party
or lien claimant, OR the name of the secured party or lien claimant and the name and
signature of the agent of the secured party or lien claimant.

See appendix “A” for sample signature formats.

Verification Statement

The verification statement reproduces the information set out on the financing statement/
claim for lien or financing change statement as it has been transcribed onto the central
computer file. It provides the registrant with a means to verify that the recorded informa-
tion is accurate.

36
PART II PPSA REGISTRATION

The verification statement will contain an expiry date and may contain courtesy notices.
The expiry date will indicate the date on which the registration will expire. IGNORE this
date for PPSA registrations which extend to consumer goods.

Courtesy notices are intended to notify the registrant of irregularities made in the comple-
tion of the registered financing statement/claim for lien or financing change statement/
change statement. It is recommended that in every case, upon receipt, the registrant
compares the verification statement – whether or not courtesy notices are indicated –
with a copy of the financing statement/claim for lien or financing change statement/
change statement AND with any supporting documentation such as a security agreement
or invoice.

NOTE that the System will generate courtesy notices in certain situations. If, for example,
a registrant has misspelt a debtor’s name or has miscopied the vehicle information
number, a courtesy notice will not be provided.

Examples of Courtesy Notices

a) REFERENCE FILE NUMBER DOES NOT EXIST

This indicates that no form 1C exists on file with which the provided reference file
number can be matched. The System cannot find the number referred to which
means that the registration has expired, been discharged or has been incorrectly
referred to.

b) VIN MISSING

This indicates that a motor vehicle description has been set out on a line desig-
nated for a motor vehicle description but the vehicle identification number box
has been left blank.

c) DEBTOR DATE OF BIRTH INVALID

This indicates that the registrant has provided a date of birth that is not a valid
date, for example, February 30, 1970.

We have attempted to identify most potential irregularities, but the computer

system is not able to identify all such situations. As well, there may be situations in
which the courtesy notice does not apply. If so, corrective action may not be
required.

The onus is on the registrant receiving a verification statement with courtesy

notices to determine what course of action to take. The registrant should bear in
mind that a financing statement/claim for lien or financing change statement/
change statement may be invalidated if a reasonable person is likely to be misled
materially by an error or omission.

NOTICE TO SECURED PARTIES: The PPSA requires that a secured party deliver to
each debtor either a copy of the registered financing statement or financing change
statement OR a copy of the verification statement within 30 days of the date of registra-
tion. Failure to do so may result in a penalty to the secured party.

Sample Fact Situation and Completed Financing Statement/Form 3C

(The beginning of this fact situation is at the end of the discussion on Financing State-
ments/Form 1C at page 21 and at the end of the discussion on Financing Change
Statements/Form 2C at page 32).

Five years after acquiring her uncle’s business, Lisa finds she still has difficulty making it
into a profitable venture. With the technological advances made, some of her equipment
is now outdated. Lisa is certain that if she had the necessary capital to modernize the
business and its premises, she could turn a handsome profit. She meets with Dr. Drew,
manager at the Bank of Ontario, and successfully obtains further financing. The Bank
extends a further $15,000.00 on the security of the same collateral pursuant to a future
advance clause in the security agreement. The security agreement is amended by
extending the maturity date for an additional six years.

The Bank finds it necessary to register a renewal of six years and registers the following
financing change statement.

 PART II PPSA REGISTRATION

Motor Vehicle Schedule – Form 4C

The following instructions for the completion of the motor vehicle schedule apply to both
registrations made under the PPSA and the RSLA.

A motor vehicle schedule is never registered alone – it is always registered along with
either a financing statement/claim for lien or financing change statement/change state-
ment. Consequently, a motor vehicle schedule is always one page of a multiple page
registration which requires that the registrant complete the page number designation on
line 01 of each of the pages registered. On line 00 of the motor vehicle schedule is a box
entitled “Reference File No”. The registrant must set out in this box:

(i) the file number from the form 1C if a financing statement/claim for lien is
being registered; or

(ii) the reference file number from line 21 of the form 2C if a financing
change statement/change statement is being registered.

If a motor vehicle schedule is attached, be sure to enter an “X” in the box entitled “Motor
Vehicle Schedule Attached” on line 01 of the form 1C or 2C.

The motor vehicle schedule should be used when describing more than two motor
vehicles as provided for on lines 11 and 12 of the financing statement/claim for lien or
financing change statement/change statement. It is formatted in exactly the same
manner as lines 11 and 12 of those statements.

To complete any one of lines 41-56 of form 4C:

(i) follow the instructions provided for the completion of lines 11 and 12 of a
financing statement if the motor vehicle schedule is registered as part of
a financing statement or financing change statement. (See page 18 of
this Guide);

(ii) follow the instructions provided for the completion of lines 11 and 12 of a
claim for lien if the motor vehicle schedule is registered as part of a claim
for lien or change statement. (See page 47 of this Guide).

If an error is made on one of these lines that cannot be corrected without ambiguity, “X”
out the line, and begin again on the next line.

See instructions page 6.

File No / No de dossier

000000067

This space contains a pre-printed number called the “File Number”.

DO NOT CONFUSE the file number with the registration number. The file number
identifies a group of statements – it identifies a claim for lien and all change statements
related to it. A registration number is the number imprinted on the first page of a claim for
lien or change statement and set out on any of its subsequent pages upon registration.
Thus, every registered claim for lien and every registered change statement has a unique
registration number and every claim for lien and all change statements related to it –
every family – has a unique file number.

It is essential that a registrant accurately enter the file number in the space provided for
recording a reference file number when filling out a form 2C or a form 4C. The reference
file number is pre-printed on the form 3C.

NOTE: If, when registering a claim for lien, more than one statement is used, i.e., it is a
multiple page registration consisting of two or more claim for lien forms, the file number
for the registration is the file number on the first page. Ignore the file number on the
second and subsequent claim for lien forms.

 PART III RSLA REGISTRATION

Initial /

Line 02

Enter the name of the person against whom the lien is claimed on the individual debtor
name line.

Enter an individual debtor’s first given name in the first box, the initial of the second given
name, if any, in the next box, and the debtor’s surname in the last box. BE CERTAIN
THAT THE NAME THAT IS ENTERED IS THE DEBTOR’S CORRECT NAME. An
individual debtor’s correct name may be determined by reference to a birth certificate, a
certificate of citizenship, or other appropriate document. (See Appendix “D” for guide-
lines).

The initial of the second given name is used to differentiate between names such as
WILLIAM J. SMITH and WILLIAM B. SMITH, as well as to differentiate between
WILLIAM SMITH and WILLIAM J. SMITH. If an individual has a second given name, the
initial must be entered.

For example, if the debtor’s name is William Herman Joseph Smith, it must be entered as
WILLIAM H. SMITH.

If a registrant is uncertain which of an individual’s names is the first given name and which
is the surname, the registrant may wish to set the name out in two ways – one setting the
names out in one order and one setting them out in reverse order.

If the length of an individual’s first given name (including punctuation marks and spaces)
is longer than 19 characters or if the length of an individual’s surname (including punctua-
tion marks and spaces) is longer than 22 characters or both, enter only the first 19 or 22
characters or both, as the case may be, and the initial of the second given name, if any,
on line 02. Then, enter the entire first given name and surname, including the initial of the
second given name, if any, on line 13, 14 or 15 of the General Collateral Description
portion of this form.

DO NOT USE:

– Nicknames or abbreviations, for example, do not use “Tom” for “Thomas” or “MJ”
for “Mary Jane”. (Of course, “MJ” or “Tom” must be used if that is really the
correct name).

– “Jr.” or “Sr.” or other designations to differentiate between generations.

– Titles, for example, do not use Mr. Mrs. Miss Ms. Dr. or Rev.

If the debtor’s correct name is not entered, an enquirer who subsequently searches
against the correct name may be misled. The PPSA provides that a registration may be
invalidated where a reasonable person is likely to be misled materially by an error or
omission.

NOTE: If the name of an individual person is entered on line 02, DO NOT complete line
03. If another name is to be recorded, use either line 05 if the name is that of an individual
person or line 06 if the name is that of an artificial body/business debtor.

Enter the business debtor’s name in full. A debtor who is not a natural person is consid-
ered an artificial body, and will be identified on the business debtor name line. MAKE
CERTAIN THAT THE NAME ENTERED IS THE CORRECT NAME. An artificial body’s
correct name may be determined by reference to an appropriate constituting document,
such as, for example, a company’s articles of incorporation. (See Appendix “C” for further
details). Note that for certain types of artificial bodies/business debtors the name re-
quired to be entered may be the name of a person who is not a debtor (for example, the
name of a corporation signing the security agreement on behalf of a debtor which is an
unincorporated association).

Only one debtor name should be entered on the two lines of space provided. The second
line of space has been provided to accommodate debtor names which are more than 66
characters.

NOTE: If line 02 has NOT been used to record the name of an individual person, use line
03 to record the name of an artificial body/business debtor. If line 02 or 03 has been used
and a second name is to be recorded, use either line 05 if the name is that of an individual
person or line 06 if the name is that of an artificial body/business debtor. (If a third name is
to be recorded, complete an additional form as an additional page).

TRADE NAMES: Where a debtor is carrying on business under a business or trade

name, the name of the debtor must be entered, and the business or trade name may be
entered.

If a business or trade name is set out, it must be set out on line 03 or line 06.

Therefore, if William J. Smith is carrying on business as ABC Restaurant, enter WILLIAM

J. SMITH on line 02 and ABC RESTAURANT on line 06 OR WILLIAM J. SMITH on line
05 and ABC RESTAURANT on line 03.

If ABC Company Limited is carrying on business as Smith Enterprises, enter ABC

COMPANY LIMITED on line 03 and SMITH ENTERPRISES on line 06 OR ABC COM-
PANY LIMITED on line 06 and SMITH ENTERPRISES on line 03.

The following are examples of business or trade names incorrectly entered. DO NOT
enter a business or trade name as:

WILLIAM J. SMITH CARRYING ON BUSINESS AS ABC RESTAURANT

ABC RESTAURANT OWNED AND OPERATED BY WILLIAM J. SMITH SMITH
ENTERPRISES A DIVISION OF ABC COMPANY LIMITED SMITH ENTERPRISES

ENGLISH/FRENCH CORPORATE NAMES: The Ontario Business Corporations Act

provides that a corporation may set out its name in its articles of incorporation in an
English form, a French form, an English form and a French form, or a combined English
and French form and it may be legally designated by any such name.

If a corporation has both an English and a French form of its name, BOTH names must
be entered on the financing statement. DO NOT enter both on the same line. Enter one
form of the name on a business debtor name line, and the other form of the name on the

44
 PART III RSLA REGISTRATION

other business debtor name line. Thus enter one form of the name on line 03 and the
other form of the name on line 06. The order in which the names are entered is irrelevant.

In every other case, on the appropriate business debtor name line, enter the corporate
name as it appears in the articles of incorporation. Thus, enter a French name in French
an English name in English, and a combined English and French name in the combined
form.

Line 03 Ontario Corporation No.

“Address” is not defined, save for the requirement that a postal code be included. If it
were defined and the wrong one inadvertently given, it could jeopardize the validity of the
registration. It is up to the registrant to decide whether the mailing address or residence
address or some other address should be used.

The primary purpose for which the address is likely to be used is to help to identify the
debtor.

claimant’s name, certain words may be abbreviated. For example, the Ontario Business
Corporations Act treats “Limited” and “Ltd” as equivalent.

On this line, enter the address of the lien claimant – it is mandatory that the postal code
be included. If the address is a foreign one, the equivalent of the Canadian postal code, if
any, must be entered.

“Address” is not defined, save for the requirement that a postal code be included. The
primary purpose for which the address is likely to be used is to contact the secured party

Line 12

If a lien is being claimed against a motor vehicle, it must be described on line 11 or 12,
and if there are more than two motor vehicles, the remaining motor vehicles should be
described on a motor vehicle schedule/form 4C. The registrant must not proceed to the
motor vehicle schedule without first describing two motor vehicles, one on each of lines
11 and 12.

If a motor vehicle is described, the Regulations require,

a) the last four digits of the model year, if any, MUST be given (if none,
leave blank),

47
 PART III RSLA REGISTRATION

b) the make of the motor vehicle or the name of the manufacturer MUST be
given,

c) the model, if any, MUST be given (if none, leave blank), and

d) the motor vehicle identification number MUST be given.

For most manufactured automobiles, the above information will be relatively easy to
provide and must be given. For other types of vehicles, there may be no model year or
model, in which event the spaces must be left blank. There may be no make in which
event the name of the manufacturer must be entered (even if it is “homemade”).

Note that for the purposes of a motor vehicle description, the Regulations define a
“vehicle identification number” as meaning,

“the number that the person who constructed the motor vehicle affixed to it for
identification purposes.”

For all new automobiles sold in Canada after 1982, this number is made up of a unique
combination of 17 letters and numerals. While other motor vehicles have vehicle identifi-
cation numbers, they are not required to conform to this standard.

To ensure that the correct vehicle identification number is entered, copy the vehicle
identification number from the vehicle itself. Do not rely on the vehicle identification
number printed on the vehicle permit or “ownership”.

If the incorrect vehicle identification number is entered, an enquirer who subsequently

searches against the correct vehicle identification number may be misled. The RSLA
provides that a registration may be invalidated where a reasonable person is likely to be
misled materially by an error or omission.

foreign one, the equivalent of the Canadian postal code, if any, must be entered.

“Registering Agent” means the person who is acting as agent for the lien claimant when
submitting the financing statement for registration. It does not include a clerk or other
employee of the lien claimant.

If the information on the financing statement is not clearly legible or if an error is discov-
ered when processing the statement, the registering agent may be contacted directly.

The authorized signature must be completed. Set out the name and signature of the lien
claimant, or the name of the lien claimant and the name and signature of the lien claim-
ant’s agent.

PART III RSLA REGISTRATION

Sample Fact Situation and Completed Claim for Lien

Sam is a travelling salesman from St. Catharines. He drives to all parts of Ontario trying
to promote a line of aluminum hockey sticks. Business is very bad.

Sam was involved in a serious car accident during a blinding November snowstorm. His
car required extensive repairs amounting to $2000.00.

These repairs were done at ‘J.B. Fix-It-Garage’, owned and operated by J.B. Jones of
599 King Street West, Oshawa N2A 1B6.

Sam did not have the money to pay J.B. for the repairs, but they reached an agreement
with respect to payments. J.B. was thus willing to release the car to Sam, but wanted to
protect himself in the event of non-payment. Therefore, J.B. gathered the information
necessary to register a claim for lien.

J.B. did as follows:

(1) He copied the vehicle identification number from the car itself;

(2) He asked to see Sam’s birth certificate which set out Sam’s full name as Sam
James Parker, and his date of birth as January 11, 1935;

(3) He determined Sam’s address to be 969 Oak Avenue, St. Catharines; postal
code L9L 7R4; and

(4) He requested that Sam sign an acknowledgement of indebtedness.

J.B. then registered the following claim for lien on November 29, 1992, and entered a
registration period of two years as he expected full payment to be made by that time.

The debtor name entered above is used to confirm the accuracy of the number entered
on line 21. For this reason, the debtor name entered must exactly match the debtor name
previously recorded, even if that name was previously incorrectly entered. Although there
may be more than one debtor of record, enter the name of only one debtor.

In all cases, the registrant has the choice of entering the debtor name as it appears on the
claim for lien or any change statement to which this change statement relates.

Use line 23 to enter the name of an individual debtor, and line 24 to enter the name of a
business debtor.

If the length of an individual’s first given name (including punctuation marks and spaces)
is longer than 19 characters or if the length of an individual’s surname (including punctua-
tion marks and spaces) is longer than 22 characters or both, enter only the first 19 or 22
characters or both, as the case may be, on line 23.

PART III RSLA REGISTRATION

Enter the name and address of one of the lien claimants or, if there is a registering agent,
enter either the name and address of the registering agent or of one of the lien claimants.
It is mandatory that the postal code be included in the address entered. If the address is a
foreign one, the equivalent of the Canadian postal code, if any, must be entered.

5. Authorized Signature

The authorized signature portion MUST be completed.

Set out the name and signature of the lien claimant, or the name of the lien claimant and
the name and signature of the lien claimant’s agent. See Appendix “A” for sample signa-
tures.

Registering Specific Types of Changes

Each type of change that can be registered using a 2C requires that, in addition to the five
key pieces of information outlined above, other information also be entered on the form.
Specific instructions for each type of change are outlined below.

Renewals

To register a renewal, enter the letter “B” in the letter for change box on line 22 of Part 1.
Enter in the following box on that line, the additional number of years the renewal should
add to the total registration period (i.e., the original registration period and any previous
renewals). Note that the effect of a renewal is to add to the registration period the number
of years indicated by the renewal. Thus, a claim for lien registered for 1 year and renewed
at any time prior to its expiry for 2 years, will be effective for a total of 3 years.

Registrations may only be renewed for a period of “1” or “2” years as the total registration
period of a claim for lien cannot exceed three years. If the original registration period was
three years, no renewal may be registered.

Should the registration period of a claim for lien expire or if the claim for lien is dis-
charged, the non-possessory lien to which the claim for lien relates is also discharged
and cannot be revived as an interest.

Discharges

To register a discharge, enter the letter “C” in the letter for change box on line 22 of Part 1.

To register a partial discharge, enter the letter “F” in the letter for change box on line 22 of
Part 1. It is mandatory that the released article or articles be described in Part 5. (DO
NOT use a form 3C to register a partial discharge).

If the article released in a partial discharge is a motor vehicle, it MUST be described on

lines 11 or 12. If there are more than two such motor vehicles, the remaining motor
vehicles should be described on a motor vehicle schedule. The registrant must not
proceed to the motor vehicle schedule without first describing two motor vehicles, one on
each of lines 11 and 12. For detailed instructions on how to properly describe a motor
vehicle on lines 11 and 12 and the motor vehicle schedule, refer to page 47.

If articles other than motor vehicles are released in a partial discharge, they MUST be
described on lines 13-15. The description must be sufficient to enable the articles to be
identified.

54
 PART III RSLA REGISTRATION

THE RSLA ENUMERATES CIRCUMSTANCES IN WHICH A LIEN CLAIMANT MUST

REGISTER A CHANGE STATEMENT TO RECORD A DISCHARGE.

The lien claimant MUST register this change statement within 30 days after:

(1) payment of the amount of the lien claimed is made to the lien claimant;

(2) payment of the amount of the lien claimed is made into court pursuant to Part IV
of the Act;

(3) the order of a court discharging a lien; and

(4) a claim for lien was registered, if there was a change of ownership of a motor
vehicle and the claim for lien was not registered before the change of ownership
occurred.

Also, the lien claimant must register a change statement to record a partial discharge
within 30 days after receiving a written request, from any person, for a change statement
recording a release, where the lien claimant has agreed to release some but not all of the
articles in a claim for lien.

Failure to comply with the discharge rules may result in a penalty to the lien claimant.

Assignments

Where a lien claimant assigns its non-possessory lien in all articles, enter the letter “D” in
the letter change box on line 22 of Part 1. Part 4 of the change statement MUST be
completed.
Assignor (as recorded) /Cédant (tel qu'inscrit)

On line 29, enter the name of the assignor as recorded on the claim for lien or change
statement to which this change statement relates. Enter the name of the assignee on line
08, and the address of the assignee on line 09 – it is mandatory that the postal code be
included. If the address is a foreign one, the equivalent of the Canadian postal code, if
any, must be entered.

Note that the authorized signature, while mandatory, may be that of the assignor or
assignee.

NOTE: If a lien claimant assigns its non-possessory lien prior to the registration of a
claim for lien:

a) a claim for lien may be registered showing the assignee as the lien
claimant; or

b) a claim for lien may be registered showing the assignor as the lien
claimant prior to registering a change statement recording the assign-
ment.

55
PART III RSLA REGISTRATION

Amendments

To correct an error or omission made in a registered claim for lien or change statement, or
to amend such statements in a way not elsewhere provided for, enter an “A” in the letter
for change box on line 22 of Part 1. (Note that to correct a reference file number that has
been erroneously entered on a form 2C, a special procedure is outlined later in this
Guide).

Part 2 of the financing change statement must be completed. On lines 26-28, in the area
entitled “Enter below Reasons for Amendment/Other Change Description”, enter:

(i) the reasons for amendment briefly and accurately, and

(ii) the number of the line, if any, to which the amendment relates.

Where necessary, enter any new or corrected information on the appropriate line.

NOTE: It is essential that the Reasons for Amendment set out with sufficient clarity
exactly what is being amended. Where the amendment relates to a claim for lien
to which other change statements are already referenced, the registrant must
clearly link the amendment being made to the correct member of the family. (See
“Linking of Registrations” on page 5 for an explanation of the concept of “Fam-
ily”). It is recommended that this link be made by quoting the registration number
of the statement being amended in the Reasons for Amendment section of the
form 2C.

Types of Amendment

1. Substitution

A substitution occurs where there is already a line of information recorded in the System
and it is necessary to substitute a new line of information to correct or update the old
information.

For example, an error may have been made in transcribing the address of the lien
claimant onto a claim for lien or change statement. This may be indicated by entering the
following on lines 26-28:

“The incorrect address was entered on line 09 of registration number

19950703160700152621.”

The registrant would then enter the correct address on line 09 of form 2C.

As well, a registrant may have entered the wrong amount when completing the “Amount
of the lien” section on line 10 of the claim for lien. This may be indicated by entering on
lines 26-28:

“On line 10 of Registration Number 19910606152000291146 the ‘Amount of the

lien’ was incorrectly set out.”

The registrant would then complete line 10 of form 2C. Note that this requires the regis-
trant to complete every relevant section of line 10, including the section in which the error
was originally made. This is because all of line 10 is considered to be substituted and not
just one section of it.

NOTE: A substitution is not actually made in the System. It is made only notionally. The
new information is added to the file.

56
PART III RSLA REGISTRATION

2. Addition

An addition will add a line of information to a registered claim for lien or change state-
ment.

For example, the registrant may have entered on the claim for lien or change statement
the information relating to only one debtor when in fact there were two debtors. This may
be indicated by entering on lines 26-28:

“Information relating to a second individual debtor was omitted from lines 05 and
07 of Registration Number 19901221100900124116.”

The registrant must then enter the necessary information – birth date, CORRECT NAME
and address of the debtor – on lines 02/05 and 04/07 of form 2C.

If there are no blank lines on a registered claim for lien or change statement on which a
new line of information can be inserted, the registrant must indicate in Part 1 that no
specific page of the claim for lien or change statement is to be amended.

For example, the registrant may have entered on the claim for lien or change statement
information relating to only two debtors when in fact there were three debtors. The
registrant would then enter on lines 26-28:

“The name and address of a business debtor were omitted from lines 03 and 04
of Registration Number 19961104131100330667.”

The registrant must enter the CORRECT NAME and the address of the debtor on lines
03/06 and 04/07 of form 2C.

3. Deletion

A deletion will remove a line of information from a registered claim for lien or change
statement.

For example, the registrant may have described two motor vehicles on lines 11 and 12
when it was only necessary to describe one motor vehicle. This would be indicated by
entering on lines 26-28:

“The motor vehicle described on line 11 of Registration Number

20020916142700462601 is deleted as no lien is claimed on that vehicle.”

NOTE: A deletion is not actually made in the System. It is made only notionally. The
direction to delete is recorded on the file.

4. Other Amendments

Where an amendment is of a kind other than those described above, simply enter the
reasons for amendment on lines 26-28, being sure to indicate the line number, if any, that
is being amended. Where appropriate, enter any new information on the correct line of
form 2C.

For example, a registrant may have entered a registration period of 3 years on a financing
statement when the proper period was 2 years. This may be indicated by entering on
lines 26-28:

“The registration period was incorrectly entered on line 01 of Registration

Number 19980609141800221256.”

The registrant would then enter the appropriate registration period on line 22, in the box
entitled “Type in Total Correct Registration Period”. This box is to be used only to reduce

57
PART III RSLA REGISTRATION

the registration period. Increases in the registration period must be treated as renewals.
As a further example, a registrant may have incorrectly designated the statute with
respect to which the registration was made. In the last box of line 01 of this form, the
registrant must enter a “R”. On lines 26-28, the registrant would indicate:

“This amendment is made as the statute with respect to which this registration
relates was incorrectly designated on line 01 of Registration Number
19910307140200022589.

An amendment to correct the statute under which a registration was made may require
that other amendments be recorded. For example, if amending to change a registration
under the PPSA to one under the RSLA and the “P” registration had a “10” entered in
Registration Period box, an amendment must also be made to reduce the total registra-
tion period.

Re: Incorrect Reference File Number

If the incorrect reference file number has been entered on line 21 of a form 2C, it is
sufficient to correct the error by properly completing and registering another form 2C. The
registrant should be sure to enter the information as it should have been entered on the
original form 2C, taking special care to enter the correct reference file number or registra-
tion number in the “Reference File Number” box.

Shortly after reaching this agreement with Sam, J.B. Jones, owner and operator of “J.B.
Fix-It Garage” is in financial difficulties. J.B. reached an agreement with some of his
creditors. J.B. assigned to these creditors some of the accounts owing to him and any
non-possessory liens associated with these accounts.

Among the accounts and related non-possessory liens J.B. assigned to Supplies Plus
Inc., was that of Sam J. Parker.

Form 3C and Verification Statement

The form 3C is a change statement that can be used to register the renewal or complete
discharge of a claim for lien. Attached to every form 3C is a verification statement. A
discussion of the use of the form 3C and verification statement under the RSLA has been
combined with a discussion of its use under the PPSA which can be found on page 34 of
this Guide. Following the discussion, two sample fact situations and two completed form
3C’s have been set out – one depicting a scenario under the PPSA and the other a
scenario under the RSLA.

 PART IV ENQUIRY

The Enquiry Process

The Personal Property Security Registration System (the “System”) provides a person
who is intending to purchase personal property or intending to lend money on the security
of personal property with a means of determining if there are any registrations recorded
in the System which are indexed against the name of the person who is selling the
property or offering it as security for a loan. If the personal property being purchased or
offered as security is or includes a motor vehicle, the System also provides a means by
which a person can determine if there are any registrations recorded in the System which
are indexed against the vehicle identification number (VIN) of the motor vehicle. The
purpose of this portion of the Guide is to outline the procedure to be followed to make an
enquiry (or search) into the System.

What is registered in the System?

Registrations recorded in the System include:

(i) financing statements and financing change statements registered pursuant to

the current PPSA, and pursuant to its predecessor;

(ii) claims for lien and change statements registered pursuant to the RSLA;

(iii) entries made by the Registrar relating to registrations made pursuant to the
Corporation Securities Registration Act (CSRA) which were undischarged as of
October 10, 1989, together with any financing change statements registered
which relate to these entries; and

(iv) financing statements and financing change statements registered before April
1st, 1976 relating to security interests covered by unexpired filings or registra-
tions under The Assignment of Book Debts Act, The Bills of Sale and Chattel
Mortgages Act or The Conditional Sales Act.

What is reported on an enquiry response?

All unexpired registrations which match the search criteria will be included in an enquiry
response. Because the System is what is known as a notice filing system, a notice rather
than the actual document is registered. Particular details of the transactions involved are
not available from the registration branch and may be obtained from the secured party,
lien claimant or the debtor. If, however, an enquiry response includes a financing state-
ment registered in relation to an unexpired filing or registration under The Assignment of
Book Debts Act, The Bills of Sale and Chattel Mortgages Act or The Conditional Sales
Act, a copy of the document to which the registration relates is available from the Central
Office upon payment of the prescribed fee. In addition, if an enquiry response includes an
entry by the Registrar of an undischarged CSRA registration, a copy of the instrument
filed pursuant to the CSRA is available from the Central Office upon the payment of the
prescribed fee.

In what order are registrations reported?

Registrations are reported on a family basis – i.e. details of a financing statement/claim

for lien or entry by the Registrar of a CSRA registration will be immediately followed by
any financing change statements/change statements related to it. (For a full discussion of
family see “Linking of Registrations” on page 5 of this Guide). In most cases, families are
reported in reverse chronological order based on the registration number of the head of
the family. In other words, the last financing statement/claim for lien registered, together
with any financing change statements/change statements relating to it, will be the first
family reported; the second last registered will be the second reported; and so on. In the

62
 PART IV ENQUIRY

case of a VIN enquiry where both the exact and similar families are being reported in
certificate form, the order in which the families are reported varies slightly.

(See page 67 of this Guide for further details).

If a registration has been discharged, a notation to this effect will be made on the certifi-
cate where the information on the financing statement, claim for lien or CSRA entry is
shown. This is done so that the enquirer does not have to go through the details of an
entire family only to discover that the last document registered with respect to the family
was a discharge.

When are registrations available for enquiry purposes?

Registrations are either delivered to one of the 49 branch registry offices of the System,
mailed to the Central Office for recording into the central file of the System or registered
electronically. A registration submitted at a branch registry office is imprinted with a
registration number and forwarded to the Central Office for recording. There will be a time
lag between the time assigned to any registration and the time of its recording into the
System. The Ministry’s objective is to reduce this time lag to a minimum by having all the
registrations made on any given business day recorded in the System as soon as possi-
ble. To assist the enquirer, a file currency date is reported on every enquiry response
informing the enquirer of the date to which registrations have been completely
processed.

The Up-date Search

An up-date search (also known as a sub-search) is available to an enquirer who has

conducted a full search and who wishes to determine if any new registrations have been
recorded against a debtor or VIN since the date of the full search. Up-date search results
include only the details of any financing statements/claims for lien or financing change
statements/change statements entered into the computer system on or after the date
specified by the enquirer. It is recommended that the date specified by the enquirer
should be the date preceding the file currency date on the full search. This will ensure that
all registrations recorded since the date of the full search are disclosed. An enquirer
should only conduct an up-date search if a full search has already been done.

Bilingual Enquiry Service

A financing statement/claim for lien or financing change statement/change statement

may be completed in French or English. However, it is important to note that a translation
service from English to French or from French to English will not be provided. For exam-
ple, if you place an enquiry by telephone and you prefer to communicate in French,
indicate your preference to the enquiry operator and a bilingual enquiry operator will be
put on the line. However, the operator will not translate English text to French but will refer
to headings in French (and generally confer with you in French).

A certificate response is also available in either French or English. Once again, only the
headings will be in the language of the enquirer’s choice. The actual text supplied by the
registrant will not be translated from one language to another.

Making an Enquiry

What are the methods of enquiry?

Enquiries can be made in person by attending at a branch registry office, in writing or by

telephone or by electronic means.

63
PART IV ENQUIRY

(i) Branch Registry Office Enquiries:

Anyone can attend at one of the forty-nine branch registry offices to conduct an enquiry.
(See Appendix “J” for a list of branch registry office locations). The enquirer is required to
complete an Enquiry Request Form and submit the appropriate fee*.

(ii) Written Enquiries:

A written enquiry is made to the Central Office. An enquirer writes to the Central Office,
giving the debtor name or the vehicle identification number (VIN) to be searched, identify-
ing the type of search being requested and enclosing a cheque (payable to the “Minister
of Finance”) for the proper fee*. All responses will be in the form of a printed certificate.

An Enquiry Request Form which may be duplicated as required is set out in Appendix
“G”. Enquiry Request Forms are also available at any of the branch registry offices. The
address for a written enquiry is:

Personal Property Registration

ENQUIRY DEPARTMENT
P.O. Box 21100, Station A
TORONTO, Ontario
M5W 1W6

(iii) Telephone Enquiries:

Enquirers who have established an account with the Central Office of the System can
make an enquiry by telephone. The account holder must inform the operator of the
account number which is to be debited. For information about establishing an account,
enquirers must contact their nearest branch registry office. See Appendix “J” for a list of
branch registry offices.

* Note that account holders can make branch registry office enquiries or written
enquiries and have the appropriate fees debited to their accounts.

(vi) Electronic Enquiries:

Enquirers wishing information on direct electronic access should contact the PPSR
Branch.

What are the types of searches?

(i) Individual Specific

When a security interest or a non-possessory lien is being registered against an indi-

vidual person, the following information in respect of the individual must be shown on the
financing statement/claim for lien on a line designated for the individual debtor:

FIRST GIVEN NAME,

INITIAL OF SECOND GIVEN NAME, IF ANY,
SURNAME, and
DATE OF BIRTH

An enquiry made against all of the above information is called an individual specific
search. The information must be set out on an Enquiry Request Form as follows:

64
 PART IV ENQUIRY

Individual Specific Debtor Name Enquiry Date of Birth/

C X Date de Naissance
Recherche sur le nom d'un particulier débiteur spécifique
First Given Name/Premier prénom Initial Surname/Nom de famille D/J M/M YYYY/AAAA
Initiale
WILLIAM A SMITH 21 JUN 1951

Only those registrations are reported in which the name and the date of birth of the debtor
appears exactly as given by the enquirer, with the following exceptions:

1. The Regulations made pursuant to the PPSA provide that where a registration is
a caution filing (see the PPSA registration section of this Guide), it is not manda-
tory to set out the date of birth of an individual person. When an individual
specific search is made, caution filing registrations made under the PPSA in
which no date of birth has been entered will also be reported.

2. The Regulations made pursuant to the PPSA provide that the date of birth of an
individual transferee need only be set out on a financing change statement
designated as a transfer where the date of birth is known to the secured party. An
individual specific search response will include all such registrations in which no
date of birth is shown together with any related registrations (i.e. family members
to which it is linked).

Note that where the name being enquired against is given as having no initial for the
second given name, only those registrations in which the name of the debtor is recorded
as having no initial will be reported. For example, if the name WILLIAM SMITH 26 JUN
1952 is being searched, registrations under the name WILLIAM J. SMITH 26 JUN 1952
will not be reported.

If an enquirer is uncertain which of an individual’s names is the first given name and
which is the surname, it is suggested that two enquiries be made – one setting the names
out in one order and one setting them out in reverse order.

(ii) Individual Non-Specific

This type of enquiry provides an alternative to the individual specific enquiry for enquirers
who are unsure or unaware of the date of birth and/or initial of the second given name of
the debtor name that is being searched. The information required to make the enquiry is:

FIRST GIVEN NAME, and

SURNAME

This information must be set out on an Enquiry Request Form as follows:

B Individual Non Specific Debtor Name Enquiry

X
Recherche sur le nom d'un particulier débiteur non spécifique
First Given Name/Premier prénom Surname/Nom de famille
WILLIAM SMITH

Only those registrations are reported in which the first given name and the surname are
recorded exactly as the one being searched. For example, an enquiry against the name
WILLIAM SMITH will not report registrations against WILLIAM SMYTH or BILL SMITH.
However, all registrations which match the first given name and the surname exactly will
be reported regardless of what, if any, initial is recorded. For example, a search of the
name WILLIAM SMITH will result in the report of registrations against WILLIAM A.
SMITH, WILLIAM B. SMITH, WILLIAM C. SMITH and so on. Likewise, all registrations,

65
PART IV ENQUIRY

regardless of the date of birth recorded (if any) will be reported. For example, a search
against WILLIAM SMITH will result in the report of registrations against WILLIAM SMITH
born OCTOBER 30, 1925 as well as WILLIAM SMITH born MAY 21, 1959.

If an enquirer is uncertain which of an individual’s names is the first given name and
which is the surname, two enquiries should be made – one setting the names out in one
order and one setting them out in reverse order.

The disadvantage of making an individual non-specific search against a common name

is that there may be many registrations registered against that name which do not refer to
the particular person which the enquirer is searching against. The advantage of making
an individual non-specific enquiry is that if a registrant made an error in setting out the
date of birth or initial of the debtor, the registration would be included in the enquiry
response. This approach may avoid future litigation.

(iii) Business Debtor Name

Only one type of search is available with respect to a business debtor name. In order for a
business debtor name search to be effective, the enquirer must set out the correct name
of the business debtor. The Regulations made under the PPSA and the RSLA set out the
particulars of business debtor names (artificial bodies) which must be set out when a
financing statement/claim for lien is registered. The appropriate sections of the Regula-
tions are set out in Appendix “B” (PPSA) and Appendix “C” (RSLA) of this Guide to assist
the enquirer in determining what name(s) should be enquired against. The enquirer
should note that the search results may include additional registrations which set out a
business name which is, in the opinion of the Registrar, similar to the one requested. If
the enquirer considers that there are any other similar names (i.e. other than the
ones which are similar in the opinion of the Registrar) it is the responsibility of the
enquirer to make further enquiries against those names. See Appendix “F” for a
discussion and examples of the types of business debtor names considered, in the
opinion of the Registrar, to be similar.

French/English Corporate Names: When making an enquiry in the name of a corpo-

rate debtor, the enquirer should determine the proper name of the corporation by examin-
ing its articles of incorporation. The Ontario Business Corporations Act provides that a
corporation may set out its name in its articles of incorporation in an English form, a
French form, a combined English and French form or both an English and a French form
and it may be legally designated by any such name.

The Regulations made under the current PPSA and the RSLA require that where a
corporation has both an English form and a French form of its name, BOTH names must
be registered. The English form must be set out on one business debtor line and the
French form on another business debtor line. An enquiry against either name will reveal a
registration made against a company with both a French form and an English form of its
name. An enquirer would be well advised to make an enquiry against both forms of the
name, however, as the former PPSA did not have this requirement.

In every other case, an enquiry should be made against the name exactly as it appears in
the articles of incorporation.

For examples of the various types of corporate names, see Appendix “E”.

Trade Names: An enquirer should consider the possibility of making an enquiry not only
against the correct name of a debtor but also against any trade names that a debtor
might have. While the Regulations do not require the trade name of a debtor to be
entered on a financing statement/claim for lien or financing change statement/change
statement, such a name may be entered. The advantage of making such an enquiry

66
PART IV ENQUIRY

would be that if a registrant made an error and set out only the trade name of a debtor, the
registration would be included in an enquiry response. This approach may avoid future
litigation.

(iv) Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)

The information required to make a VIN enquiry is the vehicle identification number which
is the number that a person who constructs a motor vehicle affixes to it for identification
purposes. There is a unique VIN for every motor vehicle. For a number of years, all
automobiles produced in Canada have been required to have a standardized 17 charac-
ter alpha-numeric VIN and since 1982, all new automobiles sold in Canada have had to
conform to this standard. A motor vehicle other than an automobile (e.g. a motor-cycle)
will have a VIN affixed to it, but it is not required to conform to the 17 character alpha-
numeric standard.

In most cases, the VIN of a motor vehicle can be found on a plate affixed to the vehicle.
(On automobiles, the plate is usually located on the dashboard). A VIN enquiry
should be made against this number. DO NOT RELY ON THE VIN AS IT IS PRINTED
ON THE VEHICLE PERMIT OR “OWNERSHIP”. COPY THE VIN FROM THE VEHI-
CLE ITSELF IN ORDER TO ENSURE THAT THE CORRECT VIN IS BEING
SEARCHED. If there is a discrepancy between the VIN as located on the vehicle itself
and the VIN as printed on the vehicle permit or “ownership”, an enquirer may wish to
make an additional enquiry against the VIN as printed on the vehicle permit or ownership.
An enquirer would do this for much the same reasons that an enquiry against a trade
name would be made.

The enquirer should note that the search results may include additional registrations
which set out a VIN which is, in the opinion of the Registrar, similar to the one requested.
If the enquirer considers that there are any other similar VIN’s (i.e. other than the ones
which are similar in the opinion of the Registrar) it is the responsibility of the enquirer to
make further enquiries against those VIN’s.

An enquirer can choose to have only those families which exactly match the VIN being
searched or both those which match exactly and those which are similar, in the opinion of
the Registrar, included in the search results.

What are the types of responses?

There are two types of responses – certificate and verbal.

(i) Certificate

The PPSA provides that:

43(1) Upon the request of any person for a search of the individual debtor name index,
business debtor name or motor vehicle identification number index and upon payment of
the prescribed fee, the registrar shall issue a certificate stating:

(a) whether, at the time mentioned in the certificate, there is registered a financing
statement or a financing change statement the registration of which is recorded
in the central file of the registration system in which the name or number with
respect to which the inquiry is made is shown in the designated place on the
financing statement or financing change statement as a debtor, or as a motor
vehicle identification number ... and, if there is, the registration number of it and
any other recorded information;

(b) whether, at the time mentioned in the certificate, there is entered in the central
file of the registration system any information required or permitted to be

67
PART IV ENQUIRY

entered by section 78 [CSRA registrations] in which the name with respect to

which the inquiry is made is shown as debtor; and

(c) whether, at the time mentioned in the certificate, there is registered a claim for
lien or a change statement under the Repair and Storage Liens Act, the registra-
tion of which is recorded in the central file of the registration system in which the
name or number with respect to which the inquiry is made is shown in the
designated place on the claim for lien or change statement as an owner or as a
motor vehicle identification number, ... and, if there is, the registration number of
it and any other recorded information.

The Act further provides that:

43(3) A certificate issued under subsection (1) may include information relating to a
registered financing statement or financing change statement recorded in the central file
of the registration system which sets out in the designated place a debtor name or vehicle
identification number which is similar, in the opinion of the registrar, to the name or
number with respect to which the inquiry is made.

A certificate may be obtained by making an enquiry at a branch registry office, by making

a written enquiry, by making a telephone enquiry or electronically.

When a certificate is requested by the enquirer, it will include all registrations which
match the details of the enquiry as outlined in the preceding section of this Guide. When
an individual specific, individual non-specific, business debtor or exact VIN enquiry is
made, the registrations will be reported in reverse chronological order based on the
registration number of the head of the family. If a VIN search includes both exact and
similar families (i.e. similar in the opinion of the Registrar), the families which exactly
match the VIN being searched will be reported first on a certificate response. After all the
exact matches are reported, then both the exact and similar matches will be reported in
reverse chronological order based on the registration number of the head of the family.

An up-date search is also available in certificate form.

An Assurance Fund has been established against which a claim can be made by a
person who suffers loss or damage resulting from reliance upon a certificate that is
incorrect because of an error or omission in the operation of the system of registration,
recording and production of the certificate. The Act outlines the conditions under which a
claim can be made and the process involved in bringing a claim against the Assurance
Fund.

(ii) Verbal

A verbal resonse is available to a telephone, branch registry office or electronic enquirer.

(a) Where an INDIVIDUAL SPECIFIC enquiry is made, all registrations which match
the details of the enquiry exactly will be reported verbally if they are below a
certain set maximum number of families.

If there are more than a certain set maximum number of families, the
response will be printed. This is known as a high volume response.
In either case, the families will be reported in reverse chronological
order based on the head of the family.

(b) Where an INDIVIDUAL NON-SPECIFIC enquiry is made, it is quite likely that

there will be a number of families registered that will match the enquiry details. If
there are less than a certain set minimum, all the families will be reported ver-
bally in reverse chronological order based on the registration number of the

68
PART IV ENQUIRY

head of the family. If the number of families exceeds the set minimum but is
below a set maximum, the System provides an operator with an index screen
which lists the names that are recorded. Also included on the index screen is the
initial of the second given name (if any) and birth date (if any) of each debtor
name listed, the address of each debtor and the secured party name. The
operator will inform the enquirer of these details and will ask the enquirer to
assist in choosing any relevant names from the list and will report the details of
those families which are chosen by the enquirer in reverse chronological order
based on the registration number of the head of the family.

If the number of families exceeds the set maximum, no details will be

provided by the operator. The response will be in printed form and will
include a report of all the families. This is known as a high volume
printed response.

(c) Where a BUSINESS DEBTOR NAME enquiry is made, all registrations which
match the details of the enquiry exactly and those which are similar, in the
opinion of the Registrar, will be reported verbally if there are below a certain set
maximum number of families. The families will be reported in reverse chronologi-
cal order based on the registration number of the head of the family.

If the number of families exceeds the set maximum, no details will be

provided by the operator. The response will be in printed form and will
include a report of all the families. This is known as a high volume
printed response.

(d) Where a VIN enquiry is made, the enquirer has the option of having either the
exact or the exact and similar families reported. (An exact family consists of
registrations which set out in the designated place the VIN searched and all
related registrations). The operator will inform the enquirer of the number of
exact families and of the combined number of exact and similar families and ask
the enquirer to make the choice. There can be more than one exact family
because more than one security interest can be created in one vehicle and more
than one non-possessory lien could be registered against one vehicle.

Regardless of whether the exact families or the exact and similar families are
chosen, the operator will only report the details verbally if the number of families
is below a certain set maximum. Families will be reported in reverse chronologi-
cal order based on the registration number of the head of the family. If the
enquirer wishes to have both exact and similar families included in the verbal
response, the exact families will not be reported first and then followed by a
report of the exact and similar families in reverse chronological order as is the
case in a certificate response.

If the number of families exceeds the set maximum, the response will
be printed. This is known as a high volume printed response.

In each case mentioned above, if there are greater than a specific set maximum number
of families to be reported, the response will be in a printed form known as a high volume
printed response.

Whenever an enquiry results in a high volume printed response, the operator will give the
enquirer the option of receiving the printed response or of having the operator “cancel
the print.” In order to receive the printed response, the enquirer must be prepared to
provide the operator with a name and mailing address to which the response is to be
sent.

69
 PART IV ENQUIRY

In all cases where a high volume printed response results, the response will be a certifi-
cate (see above). The fee payable is the fee for a verbal enquiry. No claim lies against the
Assurance Fund where the response is verbal.

Buying a Motor Vehicle:

What information will a VIN enquiry disclose?

1. A VIN enquiry will disclose all registrations in which the VIN was described on a
designated motor vehicle description line regardless of who the owner was at the
time.

2. A VIN enquiry will disclose all registrations in which the VIN was described on a
designated motor vehicle description line even though the name of the owner
has been inaccurately described.

When a person is buying a motor vehicle, what searches should be made?

(i) Buying a motor vehicle from a dealer:

(a) New vehicle: If a person is buying a new vehicle from a dealer who is
selling it in the ordinary course of business, no searches need to be
made. A buyer of a vehicle takes it free of any security interest created by
the dealer and from any nonpossessory liens arising from repair and/or
storage that that dealer has requested.

(b) Used vehicle: A buyer who buys a used motor vehicle from a dealer who
is selling it in the ordinary course of business, takes it free of any security
interests or non-possessory liens which have been created by the dealer
in the motor vehicle. It is important that a buyer obtain a guarantee from
the dealer because there is a risk that a previous owner has created a
security interest or a non-possessory lien in the vehicle and that the
amount owing remains unpaid. The dealer should undertake to protect
the buyer against any security interests or non-possessory liens created
by a previous owner that may become known. The guarantee should be
in writing and a buyer should assess the willingness and the ability of the
dealer to honor the guarantee.

When buying a used car from a dealer, a purchaser may also wish to
obtain a Used Motor Vehicle Package (see “Buying a motor vehicle
privately” below).

DO NOT SEARCH IN THE NAME OF THE DEALER. A buyer should not make an
enquiry in the dealer’s name because it may result in numerous registrations being
reported which are of no use to the buyer as the buyer takes the vehicle free of any
security interests or non-possessory liens created by the dealer.

(ii) Buying a motor vehicle privately:

Many people buy used motor vehicles privately – for example, as the result of a
newspaper advertisement. In such a case, there is a likelihood that the vehicle
has been financed, repaired and/or stored at some point in its history. A security
interest or non-possessory lien created by a seller or previous owner may not
have been discharged.

To help consumers make better-informed decisions, all private sellers of used

motor vehicles are required to provide potential purchasers with a Used Vehicle
70
PART IV ENQUIRY

Information Package (UVIP). The package includes important infomation, not

only about security interests and liens, but also the vehicle’s registration history
and information about retail sales tax. If you are buying a used motor vehicle
privately, you will need the UVIP in order to have the vehicle registered in your
name.

The Used Vehicle Information Package can be obtained by calling the Ministry of
Consumer and Commercial Relations at the numbers below and using your
VISA or MasterCard, by writing to the PPSR Branch, U.V.I.P., P.O. Box 4120,
Postal Station A, Toronto, On, M5W 1TZ or by visiting one of the Ministry of
Transportation offices across Ontario.

For further details on buying and selling a used car privately, call 1-800-267-
8847, in Toronto call 325-8847, and for Telephone Device for the Deaf service
call 1-800-461-8866 and in Toronto 326-8866.
