On most instruments, a secured party who advances new value under a written security agreement obtains a 21-day perfection period, even if the secured party does not file a financing statement and the collateral remains with the debtor. UCC § 9-312. [Cases: Secured Transactions 135, 168. C.J.S. Secured Transactions §§ 52, 119–124.]
