the person who presented the record the fact of and reason for the refusal and the
date and time the record would have been filed had the filing office accepted it. The communication must be made at the time and in the manner prescribed by the applicable
filing-office rule but, in the case of a filing office described in division (A)(2) of section 1309.501 of the Revised Code , in no event more than two business days after the filing office receives the record.

(D) If a record communicated to a filing office provides information that relates to
more than one debtor, sections 1309.501 to 1309.527 of the Revised Code apply as to each debtor separately.
