Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act 12 U.S.C. 2605, et seq. Provides remedies for
deceptive communications from the lender.
Jean Keating shares that UCC 2-302 provides a remedy for unconscionable
contracts.
When one receives a presentment of a claim from a debt collector, one should accept
it and return it with a counterclaim. A notice of claim is due in ten days and the
counterclaim is due in 30 days. Most presentments are considered to be notices of an
unrecorded or secret maritime lien. A counterclaim is not an argument, but
additional facts for the creditor to consider.
The counterclaim should be addressed to the agent that contacted the debtor in an
attempt to settle and close the account before it goes into court. If it is already in
court, one should ask the court for additional time for discovery and to settle the claim
administratively with the creditors agent. If it doesnt get settled administratively, the
counterclaim is entered into the court.
The primary basis for counterclaims is that all commercial instruments such as
promissory notes, credit agreements, bills of exchange and checks are defined as legal
tender, or money, by the statutes such as 12 USC 1813(l)(1), UCC 1-201(24), 3104, 8-102(9), 9-102(9), (11), (12)(B), (49), (64). These statutes define a
promissory note or security to be negotiable (sellable) because it is a financial asset.
This is necessary because contracts requiring lawful money are illegal pursuant to
Title 31 USC 5118(d)(2).
Jean Keating reminds us that today, all debts are discharged by promises to pay in the
future. All Federal Reserve notes are registered securities and promises to pay in the
future. They are secured by liens on promissory notes of collateral owned by real
people. The statutes do not provide the Federal Reserve Corporation a monopoly on
promissory notes, as debt collectors insist.
Real people create promissory notes that are usually sold to the FED in exchange for
their promissory notes. The FED uses the promises of the peoples collateral to secure
their notes. If people want their, commercial instruments to be legal tender, they must
be secured by a maritime lien on your prepaid trust account recorded at the county and
registered on a UCC1. It then becomes a registered security and a financial asset that
can be negotiated.
Promissory Notes and other commercial instruments are legal tender and financial
assets to the originator and a liability to the lender. If a security interest in the note is
