Service overview
A modification or satisfaction filing records a variation or extinguishment of a previously registered security.
The underlying corporate action and the filing are separate steps. The requisite corporate resolution, register entry or transaction documentation must be legally effective, and notifications must use the current statutory form.
When does Satisfaction or Modification of Charges apply?
Verify actual repayment, release or modification under the underlying finance documents before reporting satisfaction.
