CO Code § 4-9-510 (2021)
2021 Colorado Code|Title 4 - Uniform Commercial Code|Article 9 - Secured Transactions|Part 5 - Filing|§ 4-9-510. Effectiveness of Filed Record

  A filed record is effective only to the extent that it was filed by a person that may file it under section 4-9-509.    A record authorized by one secured party of record does not affect the financing statement with respect to another secured party of record.    Subject to section 4-9-528 and subsection (d) of this section, a continuation statement that is not filed within the six-month period prescribed by section 4-9-515 (d) is ineffective.    Any continuation statement filed on or after July 1, 1996, and before January 1, 1998, including one that was perfected by filing with both the offices of the secretary of state and a county clerk and recorder, continues the perfection in all of the collateral listed on the filing. With respect to continuation statements filed on or after July 1, 1996, and before January 1, 1998, the filing of a single continuation statement shall maintain the effectiveness of financing statements that name identical collateral but have been filed in multiple locations.    No continuation statement filed on or after July 1, 1995, shall be ineffective solely because it failed to include a statement that the original financing statement is still effective.     History. Source: L. 2001: Entire article R&RE, p. 1383, § 1, effective July 1.    Editor's note - Colorado legislative change: Colorado added the phrase "Subject to section 4-9-528 and subsection (d) of this section," to subsection (c) and added subsections (d) and (e).   OFFICIAL COMMENT   1. Source. New.   2. Ineffectiveness of Unauthorized or Overbroad Filings. Subsection (a) provides that a filed financing statement is effective only to the extent it was filed by a person entitled to file it.   Example 1: Debtor authorizes the filing of a financing statement covering inventory. Under Section 9-509, the secured party may file a financing statement covering only inventory; it may not file a financing statement covering other collateral. The secured party files a financing statement covering inventory and equipment. This section provides that the financing statement is effective only to the extent the secured party may file it. Thus, the financing statement is effective to perfect a security interest in inventory but ineffective to perfect a security interest in equipment.   3. Multiple Secured Parties of Record. Section 9-509(e) permits any secured party of record to authorize the filing of most amendments. Subsection (b) of this section prevents a filing authorized by one secured party of record from affecting the rights and powers of another secured party of record without the latter's consent.   Example 2: Debtor creates a security interest in favor of A and B. The filed financing statement names A and B as the secured parties. An amendment deleting some collateral covered by the financing statement is filed pursuant to B's authorization. Although B's security interest in the deleted collateral becomes unperfected, A's security interest remains perfected in all the collateral.   Example 3: Debtor creates a security interest in favor of A and B. The financing statement names A and B as the secured parties. A termination statement is filed pursuant to B's authorization. Although the effectiveness of the financing statement terminates with respect to B's security interest, A's rights are unaffected. That is, the financing statement continues to be effective to perfect A's security interest.   4. Continuation Statements. A continuation statement may be filed only within the six months immediately before lapse. See Section 9-515(d). The filing office is obligated to reject a continuation statement that is filed outside the six-month period. See Sections 9-520(a), 9-516(b)(7). Subsection (c) provides that if the filing office fails to reject a continuation statement that is not filed in a timely manner, the continuation statement is ineffective nevertheless.
