Are you talking about a UCC lien? See 810 ILCS 5/9-501 et seq. for some information about fraudulent filings. The Secretary of State also has a form for an Affidavit of Fraudulent Record which you could file. Additionally, you could file a termination which is also available with the Secretary of State.

Asset Purchase Agreement
Illinois
How is payment structured in an asset purchase agreement?
I am looking to purchase a business and am currently in the process of negotiating an asset purchase agreement. I would like to understand how the payment is structured in this agreement so that I can make sure that I am getting the best deal possible. I am looking for guidance on how to structure the payment in the agreement so that I am protected and can get the best outcome for my business.
Talin H.
Congratulations on purchasing a business. Payment by the buyer in an asset purchase agreement can take many forms, or a combination of forms. The simplest is 1) a lump-sum, in which the total purchase price for the business is paid upfront, or 2) installment payments, in which the purchase price is divided into multiple installments over a specified period. It is a good idea to implement some conditional provisions for payment, which provides more protection for the buyer. Options include 3) an earn-out provision, which is used when the final purchase price is contingent on the future performance of the acquired assets or business. The seller may receive additional payments if certain financial targets or milestones are achieved post-acquisition; 4)contingent payments, in which you agree on a lower base purchase price, and additional payments by buyer are made only when triggered by specific events or outcomes, such as new acquisitions or product milestones. Regardless of model used, in most cases I recommend 5) escrow, in which the buyer place a portion of the purchase price in an escrow account for a certain period of time, say 12 months, in order to cover indemnification claims and disputes that arise after acquisition, that were not disclosed or unforeseen during the due diligence process. It is crucial to have the advice of an attorney you can trust through the asset purchase process. Please contact my firm if I may be of service. www.hitiklaw.com

Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
View Trustpilot ReviewContracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.
View Trustpilot ReviewI never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.
View Trustpilot ReviewI got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
