First Claim
1. A computer system for monitoring the status of individual items of personal property which serve as collateral for securing financing comprising:
- a data input device for receiving financing information records from first and second financing sources, each financing information record from the first source including an identification code uniquely associated with an individual item of personal property which serves as collateral for securing financing by the first source, each financing information record from the second source including an identification code uniquely associated with an individual item of personal property which serves as collateral for securing financing by the second source;
a storage device for storing the financing information records from the first and second sources;
a processor for retrieving the stored financing information records from the first and second sources and for comparing the financing information records from the first source with the financing information records from the second source based at least in part upon the identification codes uniquely associated with the items of personal property to determine whether a particular individual item of personal property simultaneously serves as collateral to secure financing from both the first and second financing sources;
the processor for identifying a particular individual item of personal property which simultaneously serves as collateral to secure financing from both the first and second financing sources; and
the processor providing an output to notify at least one of the first and second financing sources about the identified item of personal property.

Abstract
A system for monitoring the status of individual items of personal property which serve as collateral for securing financing. The system receives financing information from a first financing source and a second financing source. A unique identification code is associated with each individual item of personal property which serves as collateral for securing financing from the first and second financing sources. The financing information from the first financing source is compared with the financing information from the second financing source based at least in part upon the identification codes of the items of personal property to identify particular items of personal property that simultaneously serve as collateral to secure financing from both the first and second financing sources. The affected first and second financing sources are notified about the identified item of personal property.
