Dear Fellow American,
What Do You Really Want?
Are you ready to move forward with your life?
Are you ready to start enjoying the things you really want?
Are you ready to... once and for all... open the doors to Debt Free Living?
You can, and it doesn't take a lot of money or effort.
The Instant Elimination Toolkit has all the tools you will need along with lifetime support.
First, let me ask you a hypothetical question.
Can you win at a game, any game, if you don't know the rules?
I ask this to help prove a point.
If you don't know the rules of the game, you can't win. Makes no difference how simple or complex the game.
If you don't know how to play checkers, any 5 year old that does, can beat you.
If you don't know how to play chess, any 5 year old that does, can beat you.
What's more, if you don't know the rules of the game, your opponent can cheat you and you won't even know it. Or, they can just change the rules as you go along and you won't have a clue. Trying to play a game without knowing the rules usually isn't going to end well for you.
You're probably wondering what this has to do with credit card debt, right?
Well, we've made life a game. With winners and losers. And a major part of this game involves money.
If you believe that money can't buy happiness, I agree. But money does buy food, shelter, transportation, clothes, and all the other necessities and luxuries of life. So, is money important? You be the judge.
Here's the thing, if you don't know the who, what's and how's of money, you can't win the money side of life. What's more, as in any game, the other side can cheat you and you won't even know it. Or, they can just change the rules and you won't have a clue.
Let me pause here and ask your indulgence.
I promise, if you'll just give me a few more minutes of your time I'll tie this whole thing together and it will, God willing and the creek don't rise, make sense.
A few years ago my wife and I had an occasion to spend the night in Atlanta at the Country Inns and Suites by Carlson. This particular hotel chain offers books to read. They furnish you with a book and suggest you take it with you and exchange it for a different book the next time you stay with them. A pretty good marketing idea.
The book on my night stand was: QBQ! The Question Behind the Question by John G. Miller. The book is about personal accountability in business and life. I strongly suggest everyone get a copy and read it. Its only 115 pages.
Here's Mr. Miller's explanation of what QBQ is:
Now let's talk about the tool that brings personal accountability to life: QBQ. The Question Behind the Question is built on the observation that our first reactions are often negative, bringing to mind Incorrect Questions (IQs). But if in each moment of decision we can instead discipline our thoughts to look behind those initial questions and ask better ones (QBQs), the questions themselves will lead us to better results. One of the guiding principles of the QBQ is, "The answers are in the questions," which speaks to the same truth: If we ask a better question, we get a better answer.
But, personal accountability isn't all that I got out of this book. I also found that it applies to all areas of life.
Let's take the news media for example. Most people just take what they see and hear on TV or read in the papers at face value. I never did. I always asked: "Why?"
Unfortunately, I was seldom able to answer my own questions. Why do people do stupid things? Why do elected officials break their oath and pass bad laws? Why do they lie, cheat, and steal from the people they represent?
Now, I ask the questions behind the question.
Here's where we start tying it all together.
Here's some examples of asking the Questions Behind the Question:
Let's start with bankruptcy. There are two types that effect you and I: Chapter 7 - complete liquidation of our debt, and Chapter 13 - rehabilitation with a payment plan for individuals with a regular source of income. In October of 2005 the rules of bankruptcy changed. The new rules made it harder for you and I to qualify for a Chapter 7, complete liquidation. It forced many of us into Chapter 13, repayment plans, or to completely forego bankruptcy.
The results? The number of individual Chapter 7 bankruptcy filings in 2006 and the first half of 2007 are down as much as 2/3. Chapter 13 filings are up 1/3.
The Question: "Why did Congress do this?"
Answer: "Don't know."
The Question Behind the Question: "Who benefited?"
Answer: "The banks."
The Next Question Behind the Question: "Why would Congress protect the banks?"
Answer: "The banks fund government's deficit spending which allows Congress to spend like drunken sailors without having to raise taxes. CongressCritters keep getting re-elected. They have an unlimited supply of money to buy votes.
See how it works?
Then we have "sub-prime" mortgages.
If you haven't heard about these lately, you've been in a coma.
Here we have a situation where a bunch of idiot bankers lent money to people they knew couldn't repay it to buy houses they couldn't afford.
The Question: "Why would bankers lend money to people they know can't repay it?"
Answer: "Don't know, maybe greed?"
The Question Behind the Question: "Who benefited?"
Answer: "The bankers, they made a ton of money off the loans."
The Next Question Behind the Question: "How did the bankers know the Fed would bail them out?"
Answer: "It always does. The banks own the Fed, literally. It was created to protect bankers from their own stupidity and greed. Regardless of the cost to you or me."
Now, you're probably wondering: What the hell does this have to do with me not being able to pay my credit card bills?
Here's where it will become either crystal clear or totally confusing.
Let's start with some history...
Several years ago I was doing a research project for a client. It involved "fictions." Why do all government documents have your name in all caps? Why do all credit cards show names in all caps? Is this intentional with legal ramifications or does it just happen?
To do this research I had to apply for many different credit cards. Not a problem.
Then I had to use all of these credit cards. Again, not a problem.
Then, I had to repay all of these credit cards. At the time, not a problem.
Then things changed.
My wife's company started losing more and more money. To counter this they started laying people off. Because of the reduction in people, even with 30 years service, she was reduced to getting week days off.
She decided to take reduced hours so she could get weekends off. Of course, reduced hours meant reduced pay. Again, no problem.
Then, the company decided to enter bankruptcy court. Depending on what happened there, her retirement could be jeopardized. To protect her 31 year investment in this company, she retired early. This presented a problem. But not an unworkable one.
Then, it hit the fan.
It seems like on que, all the banks we had credit cards with decided they needed to make more money. So, they raised their interest rates. These increases weren't because we had missed payments or had been late on payments. They were based on nothing more than pure unadulterated greed. This caused a major problem.
What was affordable yesterday, wasn't affordable today.
What's even worse; it suddenly became obvious, I was addicted to credit cards.
If you're wondering how much we're talking about... At the time we had 17 cards and owed a little over $71,000. Our average interest rate was 8%. Within 60 days, the average interest rate had ballooned to 18.5%. Debts that we had been slowly paying off - suddenly started to grow. Without any new charges being made.
Financial shock.
The questions was - what to do.
The answer came pretty quickly.
I was mad as hell and wasn't about to take being financially ruined sitting down. I also know that credit card addiction is no different than any other addiction - the only solution is "cold turkey." And by "cold turkey" I mean - immediately stop using, stop paying, stop having, credit cards. Nothing else will work for addicts.
"In this country, dont forget, a habit is no damn private hell. Theres no solitary confinement outside of jail. A habit is hell for those you love. And in this country its the worst kind of hell for those who love you."
- Billie Holiday, William Duffy
I figured, with all the knowledge I'd acquired during my research - knowledge of the the banking industry, contracts, and how the law works, I can fight these thugs - beat this addiction and win.
So, I created a notice that I sent to all the banks. Basically, it told them, here are the new terms of our agreement. Live with them or shove it.
Well, for more than a year they decided to live with it. After their computers stopped sending statements and collection letters, we stopped hearing from the banks.
For the next year we heard from several collection companies but a few notices and they all disappeared.
So, I decided to share my knowledge with other people who had been addicted by easy credit and enticed by low interest rates just to be screwed by rate increases, layoffs, firings, or what ever.
Then the unthinkable happened. I was sued by Discover Card.
No problem right? I know what I'm doing and how to prove the banks are committing fraud, the contract is invalid, etc., etc. This will be nothing more than an opportunity to prove my arguments in court. No jury is going to side with a bunch of thieving bankers - right?
Boy was I in for a big surprise. Like most naive people, I really believed judges were honest. That they would protect my rights, liberty, and property. Give me a fair trial and due process.
Guess again.
And I'm not saying this because I'm a bad loser. Even though I am.
Here's a little article about the judge who was suppose to hear my case but in fact prosecuted the case on behalf of Discover Bank and its less than competent attorney: http://www.kentuckylawblog.com/2006/02/news_judge_bamb.html
Not all was lost. I learned a lot from this $2,300 fiasco. It turned out to be money well spent.
I learned that judges can't and shouldn't be trusted. No matter how polite and friendly they may act, they aren't your friend. They want you to think you're getting a fair trial without having to actually give you one. That way, you walk away wondering what you did wrong. Not what they did wrong. Their whole purpose of existence is to help their colleagues make money. Nothing more nothing less.
I also learned, since you can't expect a fair trial from the lower courts, you have to be prepared to appeal. Something I didn't consider at the time. Bad mistake on my part.
I also learned that you have to prepare for the trial from the very beginning. You prepare the stage for winning in court with your very first notice. From your first notice to the bank, or your first collection agency notice, or your first collection attorney notice. You've got to think and prepare like you're going to be sued.
Does this mean you'll be sued? Of course not. Ninety-eight percent (98%) of the time everything goes just as planned. No matter, you prepare for the worst. This preparation, using good effective notices, doing everything correctly, improves your chances of complete success.
Attorneys at law are, in my opinion, useless slime. Nothing more than common criminals using our court system to steal. But, they are motivated by profit, they're greedy little slime balls. Generally, they go for the easy money. When they have a chance of losing, they usually fold their tents and go home. There's no profit in losing. Once you appeal, they will cut their loses by not responding. Neither they nor their clients are interested in spending money defending an appeal. Experience shows, they seldom win if you appeal, for the right reasons.
You can compare it to a football game. There are a lot of teams that can move the ball between the 20 yard lines. These teams usually lose. You don't win games unless you score. The secret of being a winning team is being able to move the ball that last yard. To score. Or, in our case, win in court. If you know how to win in court you control the out come.
If you can win in court, attorneys don't want to play ball with you. You win by default.
This is what collection attorneys do. They know that 80% of the people they sue will do nothing, they win by default. This is what makes their stealing so profitable.
By the same token, if these attorneys have a choice between suing you and having to fight you all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, or going after the next squarely little loser on their list, which do you think they'll do?
Does what we've learned work?
You be the judge.
Of the 17 plus cards I've eliminated over the years, I've been sued by Discover and just recently HSBC. HSBC was a card I acquired later for additional research purposes .
HSBC filed its suit on 3/23/07. I requested discovery, filed my answer and counter claim, and then motioned for a summary judgment. At a motion hearing on 08/17/07 HSBC made me a proposition - if I agreed to dismiss my complaint they would dismiss theirs. They were admitting they couldn't prove their case. They couldn't prove I owed them money. I walked away owing HSBC nothing.
And this just in:
Wednesday September 5, 2007
Jim,
I received good news in the mail today. Plaintiff filed a voluntary motion to dismiss.
This suit must be costing them more than they're willing to risk. I think plaintiff was appraising its claim and action toward defendants.
Plaintiff denied all the admissions, but asked for more time on the requested documents.
In the beginning they probably thought we wouldn't fight back. More than likely we wouldn't have if we hadn't discovered your website and signed up for your program.
My wife and I have received a very rewarding education about the subject matter on your website.

This may sound a little cavalier; but, credit cards are a scam and debt collectors are con artists. And, like any scam or con game, if you know the rules, how to play the game, you can beat them.
We learned the rules. We made a few minor changes to our notices and we started billing the banks for the unauthorized use of our property.
Here's the great part. For the bank to file suit, they must admit and prove they have our property. Then it is just a matter of proving the bank is using that property without our authorization. This is done with an affidavit and a copy of the notice. Very simple but very effective.
Now, we can bill the bank each and every month until they return our property.
How much?
We let the bank decide that. We use the highest line of credit the bank has offered. So, if your line of credit is $5000 - you bill the bank $5000 each month until they have returned your property.
As you can see, if the bank claims you owe them $5000 and you're billing the bank $5000 a month, it doesn't take long for the bank to owe you a lot more than you allegedly owe them.
Which, is good. Now, it doesn't matter if you owe the bank or not. After all, they owe you more. And, based on your God given and Constitutionally protected right of equal protection under the law - the bank is going to have to pay you the difference.
This is why the banks and collection agencies are very reluctant to sue. And when they do screw up and sue, they are pretty quick to want to dismiss their complaint. They have more to lose than you.
So, if you're tired of being nothing more than an ATM machine for bankers - there's hope.
You can be free of these parasites by using the exact same information and documents that I used.
"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened."
Matthew 7:7-8

The Question: "Do banks actually lend you money when you use your credit card?"
Answer: "My guess is, most people would say 'yes.'"
Question Behind the Question: "If banks actually lend money, where do they get it all?"
According to the business news, Americans are $3.3 Trillion in debt, not including their mortgages. Add in mortgages and you're looking at over $21 Trillion. And this doesn't include corporate loans or government loans the banks have made.
So, where did the banks get all this money to lend? The answer has been available, from the Federal Reserve Banks themselves from as far back as the 1960's. They create this money out of thin air.
Next Question Behind the Question: "If banks don't actually lend you anything, why would you even consider repaying it?"

Respectfully,
P.S. There's really nothing more exciting or exhilarating than beating a "professional" attorney at their own game. Imagine beating Tiger Woods at golf, Peyton Manning at football, Jeff Gordon at NASCAR racing, or hitting a home run in the majors. That's the kind of high you get winning the credit card game. Its a high you can't imagine - you have to experience it. Best of all, its legal and anyone can do it.
