ALVIN B. RUBIN, Circuit Judge:

A creditor appeals a bankruptcy court decision invalidating its purported security interest in the debtor's accounts receivable for the lender's failure to comply with the Louisiana Assignment of Accounts Receivable Act.1 Because we conclude that the lender substantially complied with the Act, we reverse the bankruptcy court and uphold the lender's privilege.
