Hello, and welcome to the Ask Good Questions Podcast. I

18
00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:11.000
am Benita bell Anderson, your host, and today we have

19
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:15.359
something that I tell you what It's pushed my buttons

20
00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:18.879
a little bit. We're gonna be talking about credit card debt.

21
00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:21.719
But I have an expert that is going to maybe

22
00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:28.040
shift your entire paradigm. I'd like to invite Tommy Kilpatrick

23
00:01:28.159 --> 00:01:31.439
to the Proverbial podcast stage.

24
00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:34.040
Well, thank you very much, thanks for inviting me. I'm

25
00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:35.799
excited some pla.

26
00:01:36.760 --> 00:01:42.799
Yeah. Well, I like I was saying, I'm gonna probably

27
00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:47.840
re re ask some questions because this has made me

28
00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:50.640
really you know, for crying out loud. I'm a financial

29
00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:54.200
advisor and I shouldn't get this wrapped up with something

30
00:01:54.280 --> 00:01:58.719
like this, but he has such a unique way of

31
00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:02.239
looking at this. I felt like this was important for

32
00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:06.599
us to discuss and then I would love your feedback,

33
00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:09.439
as you know, as far as what you think. I'll

34
00:02:09.439 --> 00:02:13.479
also give you his information at the end so that

35
00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:16.039
you can contact him if you go, Wait a minute,

36
00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:19.199
what is this all about? So first, let me tell

37
00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:21.960
you a little bit about this guy. He's actually in

38
00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:25.840
the Philippines. I'm in Hawaii. He's in the Philippines. So

39
00:02:26.159 --> 00:02:29.800
he is a retired American living in the Philippines teaching

40
00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:36.120
farmers how to build dome structures with bamboo vertical gardening

41
00:02:36.199 --> 00:02:39.520
and to open free, self managed health care clinics. Maybe

42
00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:41.919
we should do something about that one of these days.

43
00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:45.639
He was born and raised in California. He has a

44
00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:50.960
double major of abnormal psychology and accounting. Or maybe this

45
00:02:51.039 --> 00:02:53.520
is going to be abnormal accounting. Huh, Tommy.

46
00:02:55.400 --> 00:02:56.759
Crazy, that's crazy.

47
00:02:57.719 --> 00:03:02.919
Author, teacher, entrepreneur, Twenty eight year marriage ended, He became

48
00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:07.599
homeless on purpose, and he had a voweve of poverty

49
00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:11.000
for ten years, living on farms on the East Coast

50
00:03:11.039 --> 00:03:13.919
and walks in faith with God. So, Tommy, I'm going

51
00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:16.800
to turn the time over to you. Why don't you

52
00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:19.759
give us the story about how this whole thing with

53
00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:23.159
your unique way of looking at credit cards came about.

54
00:03:24.360 --> 00:03:27.520
That's fine, thank you very much. Timon, author and I

55
00:03:27.560 --> 00:03:30.639
wrote a book on health and healing, and it was

56
00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:34.199
so popular that the company contacted me to do an infomercial,

57
00:03:34.520 --> 00:03:37.000
and this was in two thousand and four, so to

58
00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:40.319
test market different strategies, I was put on the radio

59
00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:43.120
as a guest for about six months, and so I

60
00:03:43.159 --> 00:03:45.719
lived on my credit cards. I had three cards and

61
00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:49.000
I looked on them. And then what happened is one

62
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:51.439
of the talents got in trouble with the FTC. He

63
00:03:51.520 --> 00:03:55.000
made false claims about weight loss, and so the FTC

64
00:03:55.159 --> 00:03:57.719
came down hard on him and the company and all

65
00:03:57.759 --> 00:04:01.680
the new talents. Contracts were termining, and so I've left

66
00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:06.439
eighty five thousand dollars of credit card debt and that

67
00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:09.159
put me into a little bit of a depression. So

68
00:04:10.360 --> 00:04:14.280
working with Michleil children it helped to tell you the least.

69
00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:18.360
So then about a month into it, I kind of

70
00:04:18.399 --> 00:04:20.439
came out of a fog of depressions. How am I

71
00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:23.079
going to pay for this? Because I was promised about

72
00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:26.360
one hundred thousand dollars a month, so eighty five thousand

73
00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:30.560
was no big deal. And so also the expectations of

74
00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:33.759
making a kind of money was great, so that didn't

75
00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:37.120
all happen, so disappointment. But then I woke up one

76
00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:40.000
morning and I remember my dad being a CPA and

77
00:04:40.079 --> 00:04:42.959
I was in school to be a CPA. I never

78
00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:45.319
finished and got the credential, but I did the work

79
00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:49.360
of a CPA, and I realized that the bank did

80
00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:52.959
not have an invoice and they didn't have a debt.

81
00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:56.040
And then my memory goes back to my accounting class

82
00:04:56.040 --> 00:04:59.399
in banking, and we were given a manual called Modern

83
00:04:59.399 --> 00:05:03.319
Money Mechanic, and in that manual, on age six, it

84
00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:08.199
says banks accept a promisory note and then they write

85
00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:11.600
numbers into your free Chicken account. Basically, that's what it says.

86
00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:15.720
So I never signed a promisory note. At the time,

87
00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:19.360
my flon law was a judge and an attorney, and

88
00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:23.439
we had long discussions about how fraud undoes all contracts,

89
00:05:23.839 --> 00:05:26.759
so I don't have a contractual agreement with the bank

90
00:05:27.079 --> 00:05:30.839
through their fraud. So with his help, I filed three

91
00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:35.079
federal lawsuits against the banks, and in their depleting I

92
00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:38.519
explained the crimes they were committee and what they had

93
00:05:38.519 --> 00:05:41.560
done to me, and it wasn't a debt. So things

94
00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:43.560
are going on pretty good. We were coming up to

95
00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:46.920
a deposition date for the bank to provide me one

96
00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:49.199
of their people who's going to claim that I actually

97
00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:52.839
had debt and had the evidence. So then all of

98
00:05:52.879 --> 00:05:55.120
a sudden I was called into court and my falla

99
00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:58.560
was said, that doesn't happen. I mean, judges want to

100
00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:00.560
know what's going on in discovery. When are we going

101
00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:03.399
to do this for trial? I don't call the litigant

102
00:06:03.399 --> 00:06:07.040
in and without the other side. So I went in

103
00:06:07.079 --> 00:06:09.600
and judge said, mister Kilhaff, do you have a credit card?

104
00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:12.240
And I went, well, let me start at the beginning. Oh,

105
00:06:12.279 --> 00:06:14.160
we'll start at the beginning. Later, do you have a

106
00:06:14.199 --> 00:06:17.000
credit card? And I went, uh, well, now it started

107
00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:20.439
off as a gift card. Our opened, grow all it up,

108
00:06:20.439 --> 00:06:22.480
open that show me that card. So I opened up

109
00:06:22.480 --> 00:06:25.240
my wallet, showed me what's to say right there? Credit card?

110
00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:28.439
You're an idiot. Get out of here. So he dismissed

111
00:06:28.480 --> 00:06:31.639
all three cases against me. So then I'm going I'm

112
00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:35.360
walking out of court, going now what here's come to lawsuits? Here?

113
00:06:35.399 --> 00:06:38.959
It comes to everything. World's a turtle against me again.

114
00:06:39.399 --> 00:06:41.160
So bout a month later, I looked at my credit

115
00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:45.199
port and all three of the bank credit card debt

116
00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:48.240
was gone, was off my credit pord. So I never

117
00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:50.959
got a D nine ninety. See that's important. We just

118
00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:53.480
speak a little quickly about that. Is that when the

119
00:06:53.519 --> 00:06:55.720
bank loans you one hundred thousand dollars and you don't

120
00:06:55.720 --> 00:06:58.519
pay him back, they notify the IRS that you've got

121
00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:02.160
one hundred thousand dollars cash and you have to pay

122
00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:04.600
taxes on that, and on the other side you take

123
00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:07.879
in deduction. So the banks did not take an eighty

124
00:07:07.920 --> 00:07:11.519
five thousand dollars tax deduction. So that's because their network

125
00:07:11.639 --> 00:07:12.839
was alone.

126
00:07:14.680 --> 00:07:17.480
Well, and so the thing that you know because I

127
00:07:17.879 --> 00:07:21.079
talked to this guy for what two or three times

128
00:07:21.480 --> 00:07:25.480
because I'm trying to wrap my head around this. I

129
00:07:25.519 --> 00:07:32.040
was worried about, you know, appropriately paying your own debt.

130
00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:36.879
So so you talk about nuking credit card debt? What

131
00:07:36.959 --> 00:07:40.040
does that really mean? What are you talking about?

132
00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:44.519
Absolutely? And I asked, the good questions is a perfect show?

133
00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:46.680
She got here? So I asked, what I'm going to

134
00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:47.360
ask you a question.

135
00:07:47.519 --> 00:07:50.480
Well, all the things that I have gotten in trouble

136
00:07:50.519 --> 00:07:55.480
with in my life is because I didn't ask good questions, right,

137
00:07:56.079 --> 00:07:59.839
So it was it was like easy to name this

138
00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:04.000
because I knew that all the things that I wanted

139
00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:07.439
to talk about had to do with asking good questions.

140
00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:11.759
So we are maybe asking some good questions, but also

141
00:08:11.959 --> 00:08:15.839
maybe stretching people's beliefs on what they think. Is so

142
00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:18.360
with this topic today.

143
00:08:19.199 --> 00:08:22.560
Yeah, and this is a great question, I think. So

144
00:08:23.000 --> 00:08:27.079
is it possible that you, your audience and me, I'm

145
00:08:27.120 --> 00:08:30.079
including myself in this too. Is it possible that we

146
00:08:30.199 --> 00:08:36.600
have been lied to, indoctrinated and brainwashed? What do you think?

147
00:08:36.759 --> 00:08:37.440
Is it possible?

148
00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:43.639
Anything is possible? And I guess depending on who you

149
00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:46.440
would talk to at the bank, they it would all

150
00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:49.559
be like, well, what's the definition? What are you talking about?

151
00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:53.320
That's the critical point we're getting to. That's great, So

152
00:08:53.679 --> 00:08:57.559
we want to ask questions. So if you have been

153
00:08:57.600 --> 00:09:00.320
lied to, you can go wait a second, But then

154
00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:03.399
what if it's generational. What if you've been lied to

155
00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:07.840
generation generation for sixty years, you've been lied to, then

156
00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:12.360
it's in doctrination. But when you don't question it, it's

157
00:09:12.440 --> 00:09:15.440
now brainwashed. So what I'm trying to get through to

158
00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:19.120
your audience is that you don't happy brainwashed. You don't

159
00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:22.360
even realize even brainwashed, because you're not going to ask

160
00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:25.879
a good question. So we want to ask a good question.

161
00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:29.759
So the thing is, when we watch television, we see

162
00:09:29.799 --> 00:09:33.600
a bank robbery and so we say alleged. All I

163
00:09:33.679 --> 00:09:37.120
want you to do is add one word is alleged

164
00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:41.759
credit card debt. Now, once you start saying that, then

165
00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:44.559
the bank has to prove there's a debt. If you

166
00:09:44.639 --> 00:09:47.159
go into court and you use their language, you're going

167
00:09:47.240 --> 00:09:49.600
to lose. You're going to lose the argument. There's no

168
00:09:49.639 --> 00:09:51.679
way because if you say you have credit card debt,

169
00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:54.519
you've got it. You morally got to pay it, and

170
00:09:54.519 --> 00:09:56.960
that's what it is. You have a debt, so pay it.

171
00:09:57.559 --> 00:10:00.360
What I'm saying is there is a difference. And so

172
00:10:01.039 --> 00:10:03.600
that's what I'm trying to have your audience just start

173
00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:07.120
to ask a good question, is is it alleged? And

174
00:10:07.159 --> 00:10:09.440
now we get into that coming kind of an answer.

175
00:10:12.200 --> 00:10:16.159
Well, so what's the difference between actual debt that you

176
00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:18.360
really should pay and.

177
00:10:19.679 --> 00:10:24.080
A lunch debt? Yes? Well, the thing is there is

178
00:10:24.200 --> 00:10:27.519
true credit cards. Okay, Now, a true credit card is

179
00:10:27.600 --> 00:10:31.080
Let's say you need tires for your car, but you

180
00:10:31.080 --> 00:10:33.840
don't have the money. You know it's going to be thousand,

181
00:10:34.080 --> 00:10:37.039
fifteen hundred right before tires and balancing and put it on.

182
00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:39.440
So you go to the store to find out the prices,

183
00:10:39.480 --> 00:10:41.720
but you're tired. Are so bald, you're going to die

184
00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:44.240
if you dray another mile on his car in this car, right,

185
00:10:44.279 --> 00:10:46.840
and he's bad tires. So you say to them, I

186
00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:50.360
don't have the money. Oh well why don't you, Beneda

187
00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:53.559
just fill out our in store credit card application and

188
00:10:53.600 --> 00:10:57.159
if you're approved, we'll do it. And you apply, you're approved,

189
00:10:57.440 --> 00:11:01.039
they put tires on your car, You drive away without paying,

190
00:11:01.559 --> 00:11:04.879
right right, and then.

191
00:11:04.799 --> 00:11:08.279
You start making your month's payments on your not yet.

192
00:11:08.480 --> 00:11:10.360
Now this is from a store. So they send you

193
00:11:10.440 --> 00:11:12.399
a statement at the end of the month, and that's

194
00:11:12.440 --> 00:11:16.240
a true statement on it. It has an outstanding unpaid

195
00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:19.759
invoice and that's what you have to pay. So this

196
00:11:19.919 --> 00:11:22.960
is a legitimate credit card debt. When you have an

197
00:11:23.000 --> 00:11:26.679
invoice that you have not paid, you are morally obligated,

198
00:11:26.840 --> 00:11:29.759
legally oblieved to pay that debt. That's a true debt

199
00:11:29.799 --> 00:11:33.480
that they have an invoce. Now, my first job as

200
00:11:33.559 --> 00:11:36.200
an accountant, the CPA came up to me. I never

201
00:11:36.240 --> 00:11:38.440
met the guy. He came into my office. I'm sitting

202
00:11:38.440 --> 00:11:40.320
at my desk and my things sorted out to my

203
00:11:40.360 --> 00:11:43.399
first few minutes, and he's angry and he looks at

204
00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:44.960
me and he points his finger at and he says,

205
00:11:45.080 --> 00:11:47.279
if you pay from a statement, I'm going to fire you.

206
00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:51.000
That is in my head. That image is that he

207
00:11:51.159 --> 00:11:53.320
was a really nice guy, and all of a sudden's

208
00:11:53.440 --> 00:11:57.159
energy shage. He says, Look, if we get a statement,

209
00:11:57.679 --> 00:11:59.799
how do you know we didn't already pay it. So

210
00:12:00.120 --> 00:12:02.000
you never paid from a statement. I did that on

211
00:12:02.120 --> 00:12:07.279
purpose to put an impression on your head. They never

212
00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:11.279
pay from a state. You see the invoice here, I go, Yeah,

213
00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:14.600
it's bluck. It has no authority to pay. See a

214
00:12:14.679 --> 00:12:18.360
stamp right there. Yeah, that's an apartment head signature. Only

215
00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:22.360
paid from an invoice that my department head has already approved.

216
00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:26.039
So you never paid from a statement, never paid from

217
00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:29.480
an invoice unless it's been authorized to pay. I don't

218
00:12:29.519 --> 00:12:31.399
care if they're calling you. I don't want to hear

219
00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:33.879
their story about we're not paying them. There's a reason.

220
00:12:34.120 --> 00:12:36.080
So if there's a problem, you come to me and

221
00:12:36.159 --> 00:12:38.879
I will tell you which invoice to pay for, only

222
00:12:38.919 --> 00:12:42.919
from an approved invoice. So that is what has put

223
00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:46.200
in my mind. So the question is does the bank

224
00:12:46.559 --> 00:12:50.120
have an outstanding unpaid invoice?

225
00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:54.320
Usually not not on a credit lnel.

226
00:12:55.480 --> 00:12:58.519
Did the bank put tires on your car?

227
00:12:59.480 --> 00:13:01.759
No, merchant who's signed up with the bank.

228
00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:06.799
We're talking about credit. So if you when you go

229
00:13:06.919 --> 00:13:09.960
into a store like a general store years ago, Hey Charlie,

230
00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:11.960
I need five pounds of flour a pound of sugar,

231
00:13:12.000 --> 00:13:14.320
and I'll pay you when my crops come in. That's right,

232
00:13:14.360 --> 00:13:18.279
it writes it down. That is true. Credit. Credit means

233
00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:21.440
Latin to believe that you're going to pay, So there's

234
00:13:21.440 --> 00:13:24.960
a belief. So you had hires on your car, you

235
00:13:25.000 --> 00:13:27.879
didn't pay for them, and so you drove away. You've

236
00:13:27.879 --> 00:13:30.200
got a statement at the end of the month saying

237
00:13:30.279 --> 00:13:33.679
there's an outstanding unpaid invoice, so you have to pay it.

238
00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:39.639
That's morally, legally your obligation. However, how do you know

239
00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:43.720
the difference between a legitimate credit card and a phony one.

240
00:13:43.960 --> 00:13:47.120
Look on the back of your credit card. If that

241
00:13:47.240 --> 00:13:51.960
card says like Walmart or Amazon or any department store,

242
00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:56.320
and if it says issued by Bank of America, City Bank,

243
00:13:56.639 --> 00:14:00.559
Wells Fargo, Bank of London, Bank of Tokyo, but any

244
00:14:00.600 --> 00:14:04.039
bank in the world, then it's a phone car. It's fraudulent.

245
00:14:04.159 --> 00:14:07.840
It's not a true credit card because they didn't put

246
00:14:08.440 --> 00:14:10.919
the tires on your car and they didn't do a

247
00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:14.080
service for you that they do not have an outstanding

248
00:14:14.399 --> 00:14:15.720
unpaid influice.

249
00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:17.679
They're like a goal between them.

250
00:14:17.759 --> 00:14:23.799
Maybe well there is now Now we have to before

251
00:14:23.840 --> 00:14:26.480
we go into that, we can go into the loan cart.

252
00:14:26.639 --> 00:14:29.759
So we have to first establish that the bank could

253
00:14:29.840 --> 00:14:31.799
not have given you credit. They could not have given

254
00:14:31.799 --> 00:14:34.639
you a credit card. Now the argument is they had

255
00:14:34.679 --> 00:14:37.919
a loan. But if you think about it, a merchant

256
00:14:38.039 --> 00:14:40.480
can't do both. The merchant's not going to loan your

257
00:14:40.519 --> 00:14:43.919
fifty bucks and then also sell you or sell you

258
00:14:44.000 --> 00:14:46.200
products and services that you have to pay for later.

259
00:14:46.360 --> 00:14:47.919
They're going to do one or the other. So the

260
00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:51.399
banks are only involved in loans. So if we can

261
00:14:51.480 --> 00:14:54.799
establish right now that the bank does not have an

262
00:14:54.799 --> 00:14:58.480
outstanding unpaid invoice, there isn't a debt. That's not a

263
00:14:58.480 --> 00:15:02.840
credit card. Now we go into housaw have certain.

264
00:15:03.720 --> 00:15:10.000
Okay, well, are there so? I mean I would imagine

265
00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:13.159
that everyone who's listening has got credit cards. Are there

266
00:15:13.240 --> 00:15:19.080
legal or contractual weaknesses maybe in standard credit card agreements?

267
00:15:19.600 --> 00:15:23.919
Oh? Sure? And that's the thing is that when you

268
00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:28.480
have you have, if you use the card, you are

269
00:15:28.799 --> 00:15:31.159
found by their terms and conditions, and that's how they

270
00:15:31.240 --> 00:15:35.039
got you. However, the Supreme Court has ruled over and

271
00:15:35.080 --> 00:15:39.840
over again that fraud undoes all contracts. Courts are not

272
00:15:40.039 --> 00:15:43.519
set up so criminals can bring their victim in and

273
00:15:43.639 --> 00:15:46.919
abuse them even more so, that's not set up for that.

274
00:15:47.000 --> 00:15:50.000
So we can we do not have a contractor agreement

275
00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:52.879
if they have not disclosed. And that's the whole point

276
00:15:52.879 --> 00:15:56.919
of this thing is that law is language. Language is law.

277
00:15:57.360 --> 00:15:59.679
So if you say you have credit card debt, you

278
00:15:59.799 --> 00:16:02.039
have it, you've got to pay it. There's nothing you

279
00:16:02.120 --> 00:16:04.600
can't get out of it. And you see, if you

280
00:16:04.639 --> 00:16:08.039
start using the banks the criminal language, then you're going

281
00:16:08.080 --> 00:16:12.360
to lose. So this is what happens. So the bank

282
00:16:12.440 --> 00:16:16.600
wants customers, Am I right? They spend money to get

283
00:16:16.639 --> 00:16:20.519
you as a customer. Years ago, they would purchase toasters

284
00:16:20.960 --> 00:16:24.159
and wall clocks, put them in the bank and entice

285
00:16:24.200 --> 00:16:26.399
you to come in to open up an account, and

286
00:16:26.440 --> 00:16:30.440
they would give you a toaster. Okay, that's normal business,

287
00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:34.679
am I right? So that's what they did. Now. One

288
00:16:34.679 --> 00:16:36.440
time they had an ad in a paper and it

289
00:16:36.519 --> 00:16:40.799
said deposit twenty five dollars and in ninety days we'll

290
00:16:40.879 --> 00:16:43.360
match it. So what did I do? I took my

291
00:16:43.519 --> 00:16:47.320
twenty five dollars, went into their bank, deposited, waited ninety

292
00:16:47.360 --> 00:16:50.320
one days, and went in and drew out my twenty

293
00:16:50.360 --> 00:16:54.919
five dollars. Plus they're twenty five dollars. Now I got

294
00:16:54.919 --> 00:16:57.320
a question for you, and close the account. Now I

295
00:16:57.320 --> 00:16:59.960
get a question for you. Did I rip off the bank?

296
00:17:02.440 --> 00:17:04.359
No? I mean they always meant to give you the

297
00:17:04.400 --> 00:17:07.200
twenty five. They're just hoping that down the road you're

298
00:17:07.240 --> 00:17:08.720
going to be paying interest to them.

299
00:17:09.680 --> 00:17:12.960
Right, they're hoping to because of customer makes some money. Now,

300
00:17:13.000 --> 00:17:15.920
did I steal twenty five dollars from the bank?

301
00:17:16.839 --> 00:17:17.960
No?

302
00:17:17.960 --> 00:17:22.039
No, Now is that in moral? What I did? Is

303
00:17:22.079 --> 00:17:22.839
that in moral?

304
00:17:24.240 --> 00:17:24.440
No?

305
00:17:24.519 --> 00:17:29.759
I mean they they they willfully put twenty five dollars

306
00:17:29.799 --> 00:17:33.119
into your bank. That was a marketing It was a

307
00:17:33.160 --> 00:17:34.680
marketing thing that the bank.

308
00:17:34.480 --> 00:17:38.759
Did, right, So is not immoral. Now remember this because

309
00:17:38.759 --> 00:17:41.480
we're going to come back to that later and our talk. Okay,

310
00:17:41.839 --> 00:17:46.359
So what they did is they they sent me a

311
00:17:46.519 --> 00:17:53.119
five hundred dollars gift card. What Okay, banks are only

312
00:17:53.160 --> 00:17:55.680
about loans. So when you go into a bank with

313
00:17:55.720 --> 00:17:58.839
no money, you hope to come out with money. Unless

314
00:17:58.839 --> 00:18:00.839
you have a gun, we're not talking about that. You

315
00:18:00.880 --> 00:18:02.599
go into a bpen no money and you hope to

316
00:18:02.599 --> 00:18:05.480
come out with money, and you get a loan. Okay,

317
00:18:05.640 --> 00:18:07.359
So I have a question for you. Here's a good question.

318
00:18:08.319 --> 00:18:11.759
If you applied for a loan and they turn you down,

319
00:18:12.160 --> 00:18:13.559
do you still get the loan?

320
00:18:14.559 --> 00:18:15.720
No?

321
00:18:15.720 --> 00:18:19.000
No, If you apply it and they do accept you,

322
00:18:19.279 --> 00:18:20.839
what you do is you go into the bank and

323
00:18:20.880 --> 00:18:25.400
you fill out loan documents. Am I right? So in

324
00:18:25.519 --> 00:18:29.000
those loan documents you have to prove you have income,

325
00:18:29.960 --> 00:18:31.359
am I? Right?

326
00:18:31.559 --> 00:18:33.960
Because they want you to. They want to be paid back.

327
00:18:34.759 --> 00:18:36.720
They want to be paid back. But what happens with

328
00:18:36.799 --> 00:18:39.799
the judge says to the bank, you're getting loans to

329
00:18:39.880 --> 00:18:46.160
people who can't pay it back. That's predatory, am I. Right? Yeah, Okay,

330
00:18:45.960 --> 00:18:49.640
so the bank have to do their due diligence to

331
00:18:49.759 --> 00:18:52.480
prove anything in the future that they did the work

332
00:18:52.519 --> 00:18:56.759
to have you prove bringing income subs in group, your pension,

333
00:18:57.160 --> 00:19:00.160
and they actually have evidence that you can actually pay

334
00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:04.640
this loan back. Now, they also have collateral. So the

335
00:19:04.680 --> 00:19:08.400
collateral your house, your card. If you do a personal loan,

336
00:19:08.480 --> 00:19:12.000
you put your yacht up for collateral, they legally can

337
00:19:12.039 --> 00:19:15.960
take it away from you, sell it and take the money. Now,

338
00:19:16.000 --> 00:19:18.960
if they're short, that's their problem, right, But what if

339
00:19:18.960 --> 00:19:22.000
they're long. What if you owe one hundred thousand and

340
00:19:22.039 --> 00:19:24.279
they confiscate your million dollar a yacht and bring in

341
00:19:24.279 --> 00:19:27.160
a million dollars, They don't keep nine hundred thousand dollars.

342
00:19:27.240 --> 00:19:30.160
They have to give that back to you. Right, there's

343
00:19:30.240 --> 00:19:32.680
your asset. You only put up one hundred thousand a million,

344
00:19:33.079 --> 00:19:37.160
So that's exactly what they did when they sent you

345
00:19:37.319 --> 00:19:40.440
a five hundred dollars credit card. You think it's a

346
00:19:40.440 --> 00:19:43.720
credit card, you pay it, you owe it, it's a

347
00:19:43.960 --> 00:19:47.759
gift card. If I give you something Banita is called

348
00:19:47.799 --> 00:19:50.400
a gift. If I sell it to you, then I'm

349
00:19:50.400 --> 00:19:51.720
an a merchant. I sell it to you and I

350
00:19:51.759 --> 00:19:53.920
brought it. But if I loan it to you, then

351
00:19:53.920 --> 00:19:57.359
you got to have loan doctors. So in that loan process,

352
00:19:57.440 --> 00:20:01.200
what's also happening is you have to have credit record

353
00:20:01.440 --> 00:20:05.000
that shows some history, and your credit score determines your

354
00:20:05.240 --> 00:20:08.200
interest rate. But the last thing you signed to get

355
00:20:08.200 --> 00:20:11.920
that loan is a promisory note, a promise that you're

356
00:20:11.960 --> 00:20:12.880
going to pay them back.

357
00:20:14.599 --> 00:20:18.000
Right, But isn't there like a promisory note? I mean,

358
00:20:18.200 --> 00:20:21.279
I'm hearing you say you've got to have a promisory note.

359
00:20:21.839 --> 00:20:24.960
Isn't there a promissory note in the terms and conditions

360
00:20:25.000 --> 00:20:30.240
of the credit card because you're promising to make monthly payments, right,

361
00:20:30.519 --> 00:20:31.039
And that's.

362
00:20:30.880 --> 00:20:33.799
What maybe implies that. But you have to sign a

363
00:20:33.799 --> 00:20:35.880
piece of paper to get a loan. And as in

364
00:20:36.039 --> 00:20:38.200
my show link, so don't believe anything I have to

365
00:20:38.240 --> 00:20:41.079
say today. Look at the show notes. There's the three

366
00:20:41.119 --> 00:20:44.400
links there. Read them yourself. And take this podcast to

367
00:20:44.480 --> 00:20:48.119
your CPA or anyone who's had one class of accounting

368
00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:51.160
and ask them, is this guy right? In my book,

369
00:20:51.359 --> 00:20:53.799
there's a chapter about what went on in the courtroom

370
00:20:53.839 --> 00:20:58.759
scene of an attorney and interviewing a CPA expert witness,

371
00:20:59.119 --> 00:21:01.759
and the judge asked me do I have a credit card?

372
00:21:02.039 --> 00:21:04.240
And I said yes? Was I wrong? And the CP

373
00:21:04.400 --> 00:21:06.680
will take you through all the steps that you are wrong.

374
00:21:06.759 --> 00:21:09.559
That wasn't there a credit card? So right up front,

375
00:21:09.640 --> 00:21:12.480
I'm saying, don't believe me. Do your own research and

376
00:21:12.640 --> 00:21:15.720
take this and have your third party, the CP tell

377
00:21:15.720 --> 00:21:18.160
you that I'm actually one erd percent correct on my

378
00:21:18.440 --> 00:21:21.480
theory that the bank does not have an invoice too

379
00:21:21.680 --> 00:21:24.880
there never was a loan. Now I have in their

380
00:21:24.920 --> 00:21:29.119
second link in your show notes is my annual called

381
00:21:29.359 --> 00:21:32.680
Modern Money Mechanics, and in there it says what things

382
00:21:32.759 --> 00:21:35.519
do to make a loan is they accept a promisory

383
00:21:35.599 --> 00:21:39.319
note and they write numbers in your checking account. Okay,

384
00:21:39.920 --> 00:21:43.880
so they can they have to accept a promisory note.

385
00:21:43.960 --> 00:21:47.000
Now think about this. Let's say let's ask you a question,

386
00:21:47.039 --> 00:21:51.880
a good question. You have purchased a fractional stop of

387
00:21:52.279 --> 00:21:55.440
a bank. You're now a bank owner. It's your money.

388
00:21:55.839 --> 00:21:58.880
Do you want your money in your bank to be

389
00:21:58.960 --> 00:22:00.920
loaned out to people who can't pay it back?

390
00:22:02.279 --> 00:22:04.440
Well, no, of course not. You're gonna want to make

391
00:22:04.480 --> 00:22:05.480
it loans.

392
00:22:06.119 --> 00:22:09.640
Right would you? Would you loan out your money to

393
00:22:09.680 --> 00:22:12.559
someone who has no collaterally well.

394
00:22:12.480 --> 00:22:16.039
No, because you got that would not be good sense.

395
00:22:17.480 --> 00:22:20.519
And now here's the best question. Would you loan out

396
00:22:20.559 --> 00:22:23.440
your money to someone who doesn't promise to pay it back?

397
00:22:24.599 --> 00:22:24.759
No?

398
00:22:25.880 --> 00:22:29.079
No, So even though it's terms and conditions used the card,

399
00:22:29.279 --> 00:22:31.400
it doesn't say in there that you owe the money

400
00:22:31.480 --> 00:22:35.279
because you're going to have to write out I Banita Bell,

401
00:22:35.799 --> 00:22:38.759
who is going to promise to pay back? Groove the

402
00:22:38.799 --> 00:22:41.039
bank and I promise to pay Oh if revolving credit,

403
00:22:41.480 --> 00:22:43.759
it's still a loan. So the banks are only set

404
00:22:43.799 --> 00:22:46.359
up for loans. So there never was a loan. So

405
00:22:46.519 --> 00:22:49.039
what they did is they sent you a five hundred

406
00:22:49.079 --> 00:22:52.000
dollars gift card. If you say they sent you a

407
00:22:52.000 --> 00:22:55.279
five hundred dollars credit card, your suck. You're using the

408
00:22:55.319 --> 00:22:58.839
criminal's language and a court and a law and language

409
00:22:59.279 --> 00:23:01.480
you have no argue. But if you use a truth,

410
00:23:02.119 --> 00:23:06.200
because they gave you the card, you applied and sometimes

411
00:23:06.319 --> 00:23:09.200
you didn't apply. It came in the mail. Remember that

412
00:23:09.640 --> 00:23:14.240
credit card was coming the mail. That's you again, send

413
00:23:14.240 --> 00:23:17.000
credit cards out to people willy nilly and let them

414
00:23:17.079 --> 00:23:19.079
charge this all up and not pay for it. They'd

415
00:23:19.119 --> 00:23:22.759
be stupid banking problem procedures, so they don't do that.

416
00:23:23.160 --> 00:23:26.119
So they sent you a gift card. So here's a

417
00:23:26.119 --> 00:23:29.839
good question. What did you do your gift card. You

418
00:23:29.880 --> 00:23:33.440
went to home depot and you bought a toilet, a

419
00:23:34.839 --> 00:23:38.200
golden prone, so you buy it. You're walking out the

420
00:23:38.200 --> 00:23:40.000
door and some of it the door says, wait a second, sir,

421
00:23:40.119 --> 00:23:42.640
did you pay for that? And you have a receipt?

422
00:23:42.960 --> 00:23:45.359
Now think this through. It's gonna take a little second.

423
00:23:46.160 --> 00:23:48.640
The card came in the mail, you didn't apply for it.

424
00:23:49.200 --> 00:23:51.720
You went to home depot, you bought a five hundred

425
00:23:51.920 --> 00:23:56.200
to five hundred toilet. You didn't give Home Depot five

426
00:23:56.319 --> 00:24:00.279
hundred dollars. You walked out without paying for that. It

427
00:24:00.559 --> 00:24:03.960
have a receipt that is paid for it. Now you're

428
00:24:04.039 --> 00:24:09.119
gonna get you getting Now, who paid Home Depot.

429
00:24:09.160 --> 00:24:15.240
That night for the next day, Well, you would automatically say, well,

430
00:24:15.240 --> 00:24:16.759
the bank paid home depot.

431
00:24:17.079 --> 00:24:21.279
The bank. Why would home depot, let you walk out

432
00:24:21.400 --> 00:24:24.039
the toilet without paying for it, because they knew they

433
00:24:24.079 --> 00:24:26.160
were going to be paid that night the next day

434
00:24:26.400 --> 00:24:29.400
from the bank. Now where did the bank get the

435
00:24:29.440 --> 00:24:35.000
money from they're advertising budgets. It wasn't alone. It's their

436
00:24:35.160 --> 00:24:39.400
advertising budget to get you as a customer. Why don't

437
00:24:39.400 --> 00:24:42.279
they spend five hundred when they can spend a toaster

438
00:24:42.640 --> 00:24:44.519
or fifty to twenty five dollars to get you a

439
00:24:44.559 --> 00:24:47.359
SI customer? Right? You know, and if you can look

440
00:24:47.359 --> 00:24:49.799
this up yourself, I this two months ago. I said,

441
00:24:49.799 --> 00:24:52.359
what does the average person have to pay in bank

442
00:24:52.440 --> 00:24:54.400
fees for a credit card? And it comes up with

443
00:24:54.519 --> 00:24:58.920
twenty three dollars and four cents on average. My mom,

444
00:24:59.119 --> 00:25:01.359
who had a credit card for her old life, never

445
00:25:01.440 --> 00:25:03.839
paid a penny in and your fees, never paid a

446
00:25:03.880 --> 00:25:06.599
penny on interest, never paid a penny on anything, So

447
00:25:06.680 --> 00:25:09.359
she was a freebet the bank. You know, it cost

448
00:25:09.400 --> 00:25:11.880
them money for her. If your customers and about twelve

449
00:25:11.880 --> 00:25:14.920
percent are like my mom, the seventy eight percent of

450
00:25:15.000 --> 00:25:18.319
people pay and what do they pay on average? Twenty

451
00:25:18.319 --> 00:25:21.759
three dollars and four cents. So if a bank has

452
00:25:21.799 --> 00:25:27.000
a million cardholders, they're bringing in twenty three million dollars

453
00:25:27.160 --> 00:25:32.000
a month, okay, And what it is all about is

454
00:25:32.039 --> 00:25:35.759
taking that money in so that they can as a

455
00:25:35.839 --> 00:25:42.440
frog because that money is used to cover their It

456
00:25:42.480 --> 00:25:45.359
is getting a little twenty five years, but it's there.

457
00:25:45.880 --> 00:25:48.519
It's a free checking account. So they're charging you twenty

458
00:25:48.559 --> 00:25:50.559
three dollars and four cents a month for a free

459
00:25:50.640 --> 00:25:52.759
checking account. That's why they want to get you as

460
00:25:52.799 --> 00:25:56.119
a customer. So in about twenty two twenty three months,

461
00:25:56.200 --> 00:25:58.440
they're going to make back five hundred dollars and for

462
00:25:58.480 --> 00:26:01.359
the rest of your life you didn't need pain On

463
00:26:01.440 --> 00:26:03.920
average twenty three dollars, even if injuriates go up to

464
00:26:03.960 --> 00:26:08.440
fifty sixty seventy. I had talked about podcast guy last

465
00:26:08.440 --> 00:26:10.480
week and he said he saw one hundred and nine percent.

466
00:26:10.960 --> 00:26:14.400
One hundred and nine percent. How did you have this? Ridiculous?

467
00:26:15.319 --> 00:26:17.759
So once you get in and you think you've got

468
00:26:17.759 --> 00:26:19.720
a credit card debt, you've got to pay these speeds.

469
00:26:19.960 --> 00:26:22.559
That's where the bank is making all the money on fraud.

470
00:26:22.920 --> 00:26:25.799
So there never was a debt. There never was alone

471
00:26:26.000 --> 00:26:29.440
and you're paying twenty three dollars on a free check account.

472
00:26:30.240 --> 00:26:33.440
Wow, I you know the thing. This has just been

473
00:26:34.039 --> 00:26:39.559
like I've never really thought about credit cards in this way. Obviously,

474
00:26:39.720 --> 00:26:43.440
I feel like, you know, you need to legitimately pay

475
00:26:43.480 --> 00:26:46.240
for those things that you bought with a credit card.

476
00:26:48.359 --> 00:26:51.000
What I'm what I'm thinking is how does this how

477
00:26:51.599 --> 00:26:57.160
how does this knowledge apply to people who have have cards.

478
00:26:57.559 --> 00:27:01.480
Where I'm going with this is thinking, like, I build

479
00:27:01.519 --> 00:27:05.279
my business with credit cards, but I would use like

480
00:27:05.440 --> 00:27:10.240
the twelve months same as cash, and the cards that

481
00:27:10.319 --> 00:27:13.680
I have I've seen up to like twenty nine percent. Well,

482
00:27:14.079 --> 00:27:17.039
one of the reasons why there's so much credit card

483
00:27:17.039 --> 00:27:19.559
dead in the United States is because people get caught

484
00:27:19.640 --> 00:27:26.000
in overspending and then the banks are charging astronomical interest.

485
00:27:26.160 --> 00:27:31.880
And so how how can people best use this information?

486
00:27:32.400 --> 00:27:36.759
They're going to legitimately pay what they owe, But what

487
00:27:36.799 --> 00:27:39.200
do you feel is the best way for people.

488
00:27:38.960 --> 00:27:49.960
To Let's just get back to us happening here. So

489
00:27:50.680 --> 00:27:53.240
what you got is you got a toilet with some

490
00:27:53.480 --> 00:27:56.519
gift a gift card got you go to the home

491
00:27:56.559 --> 00:27:58.440
depot and at the end of the month you get

492
00:27:58.440 --> 00:28:01.200
a statement. I'm going to get a statement from home

493
00:28:01.279 --> 00:28:05.000
Depot saying that you do not as you have they

494
00:28:05.000 --> 00:28:08.400
have an outstanding unpaid invoice. Are you going to get

495
00:28:08.400 --> 00:28:10.880
a statement from home Depot at the end of the month.

496
00:28:12.319 --> 00:28:14.279
No, No, you're not going to guess.

497
00:28:16.559 --> 00:28:19.839
That's it. So are you going to have an outstanding

498
00:28:19.960 --> 00:28:22.200
unpaid invoice from home Depot?

499
00:28:24.200 --> 00:28:26.720
No, because home Depot probably got paid.

500
00:28:27.559 --> 00:28:30.160
They got paid and you walked up with received. You

501
00:28:30.240 --> 00:28:33.880
own the toilet. Okay, But you get a statement from

502
00:28:33.920 --> 00:28:37.480
the credit card company saying you have a bill. Now

503
00:28:37.559 --> 00:28:41.200
you've been wing to, indoctrined and brainwashed to think that

504
00:28:41.319 --> 00:28:43.759
this is a bill. Let me ask you a good question.

505
00:28:44.400 --> 00:28:46.680
When you have a normal checking account, you get a

506
00:28:46.680 --> 00:28:48.799
monthly statement, is that a bill?

507
00:28:53.319 --> 00:28:54.400
It seems like a bill.

508
00:28:56.720 --> 00:29:01.240
Your normal checking account, you get this they'ment every month.

509
00:29:01.440 --> 00:29:03.440
You get a statement. You don't get a bill. You

510
00:29:03.440 --> 00:29:04.240
get a statement.

511
00:29:04.839 --> 00:29:07.160
You get a statement because what's the statement said, here's

512
00:29:07.200 --> 00:29:10.279
your beginning balance, here's your deposits, here's your checks, you

513
00:29:10.359 --> 00:29:13.000
wrote your debit card, use other Fiji had taken out

514
00:29:13.079 --> 00:29:15.160
things like that, and you have an ending balance. It's

515
00:29:15.240 --> 00:29:19.880
not a bill, right. A statement is not a bill.

516
00:29:20.000 --> 00:29:21.920
A bill is a debt. A debt has to have

517
00:29:21.960 --> 00:29:24.960
an invoice that has the date, the product, the service,

518
00:29:25.240 --> 00:29:28.960
the taxes and shipping, all the terms and conditions are

519
00:29:29.039 --> 00:29:33.599
there on your contractual agreement with that invoice. So there

520
00:29:33.680 --> 00:29:36.640
is no invoice. But you are a good person. You've

521
00:29:36.599 --> 00:29:39.599
been like to in document brainwash. You write a five

522
00:29:39.680 --> 00:29:43.079
hundred dollars check out to the bank. Am I right.

523
00:29:44.599 --> 00:29:48.119
Right? You pay, you pay your card, you pay.

524
00:29:47.960 --> 00:29:50.759
It, you can pay it. See they got you. It's

525
00:29:51.240 --> 00:29:55.400
a gift card. They send you a gift card. You

526
00:29:55.599 --> 00:29:57.920
use the gift card to buy a toilet. Now they

527
00:29:58.000 --> 00:30:01.640
send you a statement making you think that you have

528
00:30:01.799 --> 00:30:04.000
to pay. So if you as a good person, you

529
00:30:04.039 --> 00:30:06.720
want a five hundred checkout. Now here's a good question.

530
00:30:07.480 --> 00:30:10.839
Is that the first time the bank has ever received

531
00:30:10.920 --> 00:30:11.680
money from you?

532
00:30:14.000 --> 00:30:16.720
It could be and mean, but maybe not, you know,

533
00:30:16.759 --> 00:30:18.279
maybe in different ways.

534
00:30:19.000 --> 00:30:21.359
Well just think it through. A card comes in the

535
00:30:21.400 --> 00:30:24.799
mail unsolicited, you go to home depot, you walk away

536
00:30:24.799 --> 00:30:27.079
a five hundar toilet, You get a statement at the

537
00:30:27.160 --> 00:30:28.920
end of the month. Thinking as a bill you write

538
00:30:28.920 --> 00:30:31.960
a five hundred checkout. Is that the first time the

539
00:30:32.000 --> 00:30:35.559
bank has ever seen your money?

540
00:30:36.000 --> 00:30:39.039
I'm not I would say I would yeah, I would

541
00:30:39.079 --> 00:30:41.559
say yeah, it's the first time, you know, if this

542
00:30:41.599 --> 00:30:44.319
is a new account, Yeah, it's the.

543
00:30:44.240 --> 00:30:46.240
First time you ever met this bank. Yeah, first time

544
00:30:46.240 --> 00:30:49.039
you send the money in. Banks are only about loans.

545
00:30:49.400 --> 00:30:51.559
So when you have no money and you go into

546
00:30:51.559 --> 00:30:54.039
a bank, you want to come out with money and

547
00:30:54.079 --> 00:30:57.279
ask called a loan. The same thing is when you

548
00:30:57.359 --> 00:31:01.079
make a so called deposit, and that the first link

549
00:31:01.440 --> 00:31:04.480
in the show notes is that banks do not accept

550
00:31:04.599 --> 00:31:09.759
the pauses. These are loans. You Banita are loaning the

551
00:31:09.799 --> 00:31:14.880
bank five hundred dollars. That went into your free checking account.

552
00:31:15.200 --> 00:31:17.839
Why is it free? They don't charge you. So this

553
00:31:17.960 --> 00:31:21.960
goes into a free checking account. Every purchase that you've

554
00:31:22.039 --> 00:31:26.680
made subsequent has been with your own money. This is

555
00:31:26.720 --> 00:31:30.079
a checking account. The bank has set this up as

556
00:31:30.079 --> 00:31:33.039
a fraud. They're making you think you have to pay.

557
00:31:33.680 --> 00:31:37.279
But you put five hundred dollars in great next month

558
00:31:37.599 --> 00:31:41.799
you buy a shower for four hundred dollars. Four hundred

559
00:31:41.799 --> 00:31:43.880
dollars is taken out of your account and you have

560
00:31:43.960 --> 00:31:47.480
one hundred dollars left. The next statement makes you think

561
00:31:47.559 --> 00:31:50.720
that you have to deposit four one hundred dollars. You don't.

562
00:31:50.759 --> 00:31:54.160
It's not a payment. This is your checking account. It

563
00:31:54.200 --> 00:31:55.799
shows one hundred dollars. If you want to leave a

564
00:31:55.839 --> 00:31:58.480
hundred dollars your checking account, leave it there, but the

565
00:31:58.519 --> 00:32:00.960
bank makes you think that you have to depart at

566
00:32:01.079 --> 00:32:03.200
four hundred dollars to bring it back up to the

567
00:32:03.279 --> 00:32:05.920
five hundred and if you don't think, I'm charging interest

568
00:32:06.279 --> 00:32:08.640
and that's where the twenty three dollars in four cents

569
00:32:08.720 --> 00:32:11.759
comes in. I average on every single person, right.

570
00:32:12.440 --> 00:32:14.240
I You know, I guess I'm going to say, but

571
00:32:14.319 --> 00:32:17.559
I got a statement that shows how much I owe.

572
00:32:17.880 --> 00:32:20.480
You know, I think I think when people hear you

573
00:32:20.640 --> 00:32:24.000
talking about checking accounts, is like, but but I have

574
00:32:24.079 --> 00:32:30.359
my checking account with the bank and I don't. I'm

575
00:32:30.519 --> 00:32:33.400
I'm I'm going, Okay, I know I need to pay

576
00:32:33.599 --> 00:32:38.240
what I legitimately owe. I'm thinking this only applies to

577
00:32:40.759 --> 00:32:43.799
Does it only apply to money that that I feel

578
00:32:43.839 --> 00:32:48.200
like was fraud that I had, you know, was unfortunately

579
00:32:48.359 --> 00:32:49.759
involved in some kind of fraud.

580
00:32:52.160 --> 00:32:55.960
Yeah. When you have a store that has an in

581
00:32:56.160 --> 00:32:59.640
store credit card and they have an out sending in

582
00:33:00.200 --> 00:33:04.039
is you are morally obliged to pay that the bank

583
00:33:04.720 --> 00:33:09.279
has lied to you, has through their promotion, sent you

584
00:33:09.519 --> 00:33:12.720
a gift card. They didn't say gift card, they said

585
00:33:12.759 --> 00:33:15.920
credit card. That's where a fraud comes into play. So

586
00:33:16.240 --> 00:33:18.440
you think you have a credit card. You really don't.

587
00:33:18.680 --> 00:33:22.200
You have a gift card. A gift card is a gift.

588
00:33:22.480 --> 00:33:25.279
You go to the store and you get it done.

589
00:33:26.119 --> 00:33:29.000
They got you, the customer, and just like the wall clock,

590
00:33:29.680 --> 00:33:32.680
just like the twenty five dollars, it's not immoral to

591
00:33:32.720 --> 00:33:36.559
close your account. When you put five hundred dollars into

592
00:33:36.680 --> 00:33:41.440
the bank, that's a loan. You loan the bank. Money

593
00:33:41.680 --> 00:33:44.079
banks are only set up for loans. They do not

594
00:33:44.240 --> 00:33:46.799
do goods and services. They don't do those kinds of

595
00:33:46.839 --> 00:33:49.079
things like a merchant doise. They don't put tires your card.

596
00:33:49.680 --> 00:33:52.359
They are in a loan business. So when you take

597
00:33:52.440 --> 00:33:55.160
money into the bank, it's a loan to them. So

598
00:33:55.200 --> 00:33:57.640
when you open a checking account or save as account,

599
00:33:57.640 --> 00:34:00.720
you're loaning the bank five hundred dollars in this case,

600
00:34:01.160 --> 00:34:03.519
and you trust they will take care of it, and

601
00:34:03.559 --> 00:34:06.640
when you spend it, they will pay who you want.

602
00:34:06.839 --> 00:34:08.800
And so the end of the month you have an

603
00:34:09.039 --> 00:34:13.400
ending balance. That is a true statement, and that is

604
00:34:13.480 --> 00:34:16.880
what happens. Banking is only about accounts, and it's only

605
00:34:16.920 --> 00:34:19.559
about savings and checking accounts and loans.

606
00:34:20.599 --> 00:34:25.599
I think the big thing with your approach is language

607
00:34:26.280 --> 00:34:28.760
and the way we talk about things. The way we

608
00:34:28.800 --> 00:34:31.199
think about things. I mean, I've known for a long

609
00:34:31.280 --> 00:34:38.440
time that like if I've seen, Oh, I had somebody

610
00:34:38.480 --> 00:34:42.679
that I was working with as a client once who had,

611
00:34:42.760 --> 00:34:46.440
like they had five hundred thousand dollars in their checking

612
00:34:46.440 --> 00:34:50.400
account at the bank because they were afraid to do

613
00:34:50.440 --> 00:34:53.639
anything with it. But I was like, don't you realize

614
00:34:53.679 --> 00:34:56.239
that that five hundred thousand dollars in the bank, the

615
00:34:56.280 --> 00:35:00.679
bank is using that to loan money to people for

616
00:35:00.960 --> 00:35:04.559
their line of credits and their car loans and everything

617
00:35:04.559 --> 00:35:08.840
else and making So yeah, So, I mean where I'm from,

618
00:35:09.000 --> 00:35:12.360
I'm I'm wrapping my head around advice saying, Okay, I

619
00:35:13.079 --> 00:35:18.239
know how banks operate in that the money that you

620
00:35:18.400 --> 00:35:22.000
have and like money market accounts in a bank, they're

621
00:35:22.039 --> 00:35:29.079
giving you what maybe one percent, and they're making you know,

622
00:35:29.280 --> 00:35:37.039
a multiple of that on their loans. So yeah, so

623
00:35:36.400 --> 00:35:39.519
so is there So what do you think what are

624
00:35:39.559 --> 00:35:44.920
their risks financial or legal of going and taking this

625
00:35:45.000 --> 00:35:45.840
approach to debt?

626
00:35:47.119 --> 00:35:53.079
Okay, Benita, you have been lied to and doctors and brainwashed. Okay,

627
00:35:53.199 --> 00:35:57.559
because you're telling me banks take people's deposes and loan

628
00:35:57.599 --> 00:36:00.360
amount to other people. Right, you look at us on

629
00:36:00.400 --> 00:36:03.000
the internet all kinds of websites are going to tell

630
00:36:03.039 --> 00:36:06.880
you the same thing, so they're reinforcing the big lot. Okay,

631
00:36:07.280 --> 00:36:10.320
but I in my first link to you is a

632
00:36:10.639 --> 00:36:14.599
legal website that explains that, first of all, the banks

633
00:36:14.639 --> 00:36:18.199
do not take deposits. These are loans to the bank.

634
00:36:18.800 --> 00:36:22.280
And two, they do not take people's deposits and loan

635
00:36:22.320 --> 00:36:26.239
them out to other people. In that second link is

636
00:36:26.360 --> 00:36:29.800
the Manual Modern Money Mechanics put out by the Federal Reserve,

637
00:36:29.920 --> 00:36:32.960
and in there, right before it says what they do

638
00:36:33.440 --> 00:36:36.800
above it, they make mockery. They make a joke. They say,

639
00:36:36.840 --> 00:36:40.159
it's obviously we don't take people's deposits and loan them

640
00:36:40.159 --> 00:36:42.480
out to other people because there wouldn't be enough money.

641
00:36:42.599 --> 00:36:46.119
There is not one point three one point seven trillion

642
00:36:46.159 --> 00:36:49.639
dollars a credit card debt. What that means is that

643
00:36:49.760 --> 00:36:54.079
banks want you to deposit one point seven trillion into

644
00:36:54.119 --> 00:36:57.559
your checking account. That's what they're asking, that's what they're saying,

645
00:36:57.599 --> 00:36:59.679
that's what they want you to do. And if you

646
00:36:59.760 --> 00:37:03.119
don't do that, a charging interest on your own money.

647
00:37:03.920 --> 00:37:06.880
So the checking account that you sent five hundred dollars

648
00:37:06.920 --> 00:37:09.280
to you, do you think you're paying for the toilet. No,

649
00:37:09.480 --> 00:37:11.920
the toy was a gift. It was trying to get

650
00:37:11.960 --> 00:37:14.440
you to be as a customer. Now you're a customer.

651
00:37:14.760 --> 00:37:17.599
Now you're spending money on them, on the interest and

652
00:37:17.679 --> 00:37:19.559
on fees and all that kind of stuff. And that's

653
00:37:19.599 --> 00:37:22.320
why they induced you to get you that gift card

654
00:37:22.599 --> 00:37:24.719
to get you to the customer. Now you know the

655
00:37:24.840 --> 00:37:28.880
language is a free checking account, it's your money. So

656
00:37:29.159 --> 00:37:32.760
how do you get yourself out of debt? It's not debt?

657
00:37:33.039 --> 00:37:36.679
How do you resolve this problem of say, okay, you

658
00:37:36.800 --> 00:37:39.719
have a checking account and all you need to do

659
00:37:39.840 --> 00:37:41.880
is write a letter to the bank ask them to

660
00:37:41.960 --> 00:37:45.519
close your free checking account associated with a card.

661
00:37:48.480 --> 00:37:51.119
And you still need to pay your debt. I mean

662
00:37:51.199 --> 00:37:53.239
you still need to pay the money that you've owed.

663
00:37:56.519 --> 00:38:00.719
You're still been lied to, inducted and brainwash. It takes

664
00:38:00.760 --> 00:38:02.599
for a while. You're still using the.

665
00:38:02.639 --> 00:38:06.639
Crew at risk here because its like this is yeah,

666
00:38:06.679 --> 00:38:15.039
so you can see this conversation with Tony is like, so, okay, well.

667
00:38:14.920 --> 00:38:17.360
First of all, you admitted that the bank did not

668
00:38:17.480 --> 00:38:19.840
put tires on your car. You've had admitted to me

669
00:38:20.039 --> 00:38:23.480
they do not have an outstanding unpaid invoice, so there

670
00:38:23.519 --> 00:38:27.559
is no debt. The only way they can issue a

671
00:38:27.679 --> 00:38:31.039
loan is they have to have a loan agreement, they

672
00:38:31.079 --> 00:38:33.679
have loan documents agreeable to be that. They have to

673
00:38:33.760 --> 00:38:37.079
prove their income. Have you proved your income to any

674
00:38:37.079 --> 00:38:40.840
credit card applications? There are people on the internet that

675
00:38:40.920 --> 00:38:43.280
tell you write any number because they don't verify. So

676
00:38:43.400 --> 00:38:45.679
put down two hundred thousand, even when you're making twenty,

677
00:38:45.719 --> 00:38:48.400
because you're more likely to get a higher card. It's

678
00:38:48.440 --> 00:38:51.119
all wives, it's all based on lives, so there is

679
00:38:51.159 --> 00:38:54.639
no collateral, there is no promisory note. It's a gift

680
00:38:54.960 --> 00:38:58.280
that the banks cannot give you a loan without a

681
00:38:58.400 --> 00:39:01.920
promisory note. And that to you said, as a bank owner,

682
00:39:02.039 --> 00:39:04.440
you're not going to let You're not gonna loan money,

683
00:39:04.599 --> 00:39:06.679
your money to people who can't pay that, and certainly

684
00:39:06.679 --> 00:39:08.760
not people who didn't promise to pay it back. But

685
00:39:08.920 --> 00:39:10.519
that's a gift, right.

686
00:39:11.199 --> 00:39:14.639
So if you close your account and you and there's

687
00:39:14.679 --> 00:39:17.000
some money that you you know you bought some goods

688
00:39:17.000 --> 00:39:22.119
and services. I mean, I know you've said before you

689
00:39:22.519 --> 00:39:30.480
legitimately pay whatever you bought on credit. But you're saying you, uh,

690
00:39:30.559 --> 00:39:34.000
there's there's good credit cards to have or not so

691
00:39:34.119 --> 00:39:36.760
good credit cards to have. The best credit cards, I

692
00:39:36.760 --> 00:39:38.800
think are the ones that are tied to some kind

693
00:39:38.800 --> 00:39:39.800
of merchant.

694
00:39:41.159 --> 00:39:44.119
Okay, a true credit card is not going to let

695
00:39:44.199 --> 00:39:46.079
you go to some other store. It's going to be

696
00:39:46.119 --> 00:39:48.360
that merchant. They might have a chain of something that

697
00:39:48.480 --> 00:39:50.639
make it convenient for it. But there's a if there's

698
00:39:50.639 --> 00:39:54.440
an outstanding unpaid voice, that is a debt you owe.

699
00:39:55.079 --> 00:39:57.920
What the banks are doing are getting you to front

700
00:39:58.000 --> 00:40:00.440
up the money. Just like you would go to a

701
00:40:00.559 --> 00:40:03.239
bank and open up a checking account, because say how

702
00:40:03.320 --> 00:40:06.880
much do you open today? And you say five hundred dollars. Great,

703
00:40:07.199 --> 00:40:09.639
let me see five hundred dollars. So you put five

704
00:40:09.679 --> 00:40:12.960
hundred dollars into the account and you buy things and

705
00:40:12.960 --> 00:40:16.920
it gets delayed this less and less. So at the

706
00:40:17.000 --> 00:40:19.280
end of the month you decide for your paycheck, you

707
00:40:19.360 --> 00:40:21.840
can put four hundred dollars back into it. Well, great,

708
00:40:21.880 --> 00:40:25.400
that's your choice. This whole credit card scam is the

709
00:40:25.519 --> 00:40:27.960
same thing I'm trying to get through to you is

710
00:40:28.000 --> 00:40:31.239
a checking account. You are sending money to the bank

711
00:40:31.440 --> 00:40:35.320
to fill up your checking account. Then you buy anything

712
00:40:35.360 --> 00:40:38.760
and everything with your own money. It's been your money

713
00:40:38.800 --> 00:40:41.639
You've been buying everything on because there's not enough money

714
00:40:41.679 --> 00:40:43.880
to load it out to people. They don't there's no loan.

715
00:40:44.719 --> 00:40:47.239
It's your money that you have been spending. That's why

716
00:40:47.280 --> 00:40:56.320
there's no promisory notes. So to go ahead, I was

717
00:40:56.360 --> 00:40:58.000
just going to say, if you send a letter to

718
00:40:58.039 --> 00:41:00.199
the bank, it's pretty weak. Now. Which you can do

719
00:41:00.360 --> 00:41:03.400
is have your CPA write a letter saying, first of all,

720
00:41:03.440 --> 00:41:07.079
there is no invoice and bank never loans you any money.

721
00:41:07.639 --> 00:41:11.000
And since there wasn't a promis ory note, there's no debt,

722
00:41:11.360 --> 00:41:13.159
have your attorney and then you go, oh man, it's

723
00:41:13.320 --> 00:41:14.840
two or three hundred dollars. You know there's any thing

724
00:41:14.920 --> 00:41:17.599
called legal shield, and you get for twenty nine dollars,

725
00:41:17.639 --> 00:41:19.360
you get an attorney for a month only means it

726
00:41:19.480 --> 00:41:21.559
for a month, and have the attorney write a letter

727
00:41:21.599 --> 00:41:26.760
to the bank saying fraud undoes all contracts. What I'm suggesting, also,

728
00:41:26.960 --> 00:41:30.119
what I've done is I have made them appear that

729
00:41:30.159 --> 00:41:32.360
I'm going to sue them in court. So I have

730
00:41:32.599 --> 00:41:36.760
a civil lawsuit all filed out that explains the crimes

731
00:41:36.840 --> 00:41:40.360
they're committing and also all the discovery. So they're going

732
00:41:40.360 --> 00:41:42.440
to look at a brick of this paperwork and I'm

733
00:41:42.440 --> 00:41:44.280
going to go. This is gonna cost twenty thousand dollars

734
00:41:44.320 --> 00:41:47.320
just in legal fees alone. But the important thing is

735
00:41:47.320 --> 00:41:50.199
is that we have an injunction. Now, Benita, if you

736
00:41:50.199 --> 00:41:53.000
have somebody bothering me, you can take them to court

737
00:41:53.159 --> 00:41:55.480
and say court, have them stop bothering me. I don't

738
00:41:55.519 --> 00:41:57.679
know these people. And that's exactly what's going on with

739
00:41:57.760 --> 00:42:00.199
all the Trump things, and people run to court and

740
00:42:00.239 --> 00:42:03.119
it stops Trump from access right because they're called injunctions.

741
00:42:03.559 --> 00:42:05.519
We're going to do the same thing. So the bank

742
00:42:05.679 --> 00:42:08.880
knows if they sue us or we sue them. Either way,

743
00:42:09.280 --> 00:42:12.440
there's going to be an injunction file immediately. So the

744
00:42:12.599 --> 00:42:14.719
judge is going to look to the bank and say, look,

745
00:42:14.760 --> 00:42:17.719
here's an injunction. Said, you're bothering these people claiming there's

746
00:42:17.719 --> 00:42:20.400
a debt. It's not a debt, so please bring us

747
00:42:20.480 --> 00:42:27.360
a unpaid, unpaid invoice, outstanding invoice, and bring a certified

748
00:42:27.440 --> 00:42:30.559
copy of the promissory note. And they are also are

749
00:42:30.599 --> 00:42:33.840
asking for an affadate of debt. They want someone in

750
00:42:33.920 --> 00:42:36.400
the bank to swear out that you have a debt

751
00:42:36.440 --> 00:42:38.800
and they have the evidence and bring us to court.

752
00:42:39.199 --> 00:42:41.920
And if the bank doesn't do that, the judge finds

753
00:42:41.960 --> 00:42:44.960
them in contempt and it all stops. So since the

754
00:42:45.000 --> 00:42:48.400
bank does not have an invoice, they have no promissary note,

755
00:42:48.400 --> 00:42:50.159
and no one in the bank is no to swear

756
00:42:50.280 --> 00:42:53.599
unviable under penalty of perjury with threat of going to

757
00:42:53.679 --> 00:42:56.559
jail or a fine if they're liars. So the bank

758
00:42:56.599 --> 00:43:00.000
cannot have their employees go to court and being encouraged them.

759
00:43:00.760 --> 00:43:03.239
So there is no debt. And that's the way you

760
00:43:03.280 --> 00:43:06.440
strongly let the bank know that you want to count closed.

761
00:43:06.639 --> 00:43:09.519
Is all that's going to happen is one click off

762
00:43:09.519 --> 00:43:12.159
through clerical It happened to me. It happened to about

763
00:43:12.199 --> 00:43:14.519
a thousand clients. I helped out my charity and I

764
00:43:14.559 --> 00:43:15.280
can help you too.

765
00:43:16.480 --> 00:43:21.599
So okay, so our time is just about up. Amazingly enough,

766
00:43:21.639 --> 00:43:25.000
it goes so fast. And so tell us a little

767
00:43:25.000 --> 00:43:27.840
bit about how you help people. If people feel that

768
00:43:27.920 --> 00:43:32.079
they want to contact you and get some help with

769
00:43:32.440 --> 00:43:36.559
this situation, how do you help people? What is it

770
00:43:36.599 --> 00:43:37.880
that you do in a nutshell?

771
00:43:38.719 --> 00:43:41.079
And it's in the show notes. So all you do

772
00:43:41.159 --> 00:43:44.559
is contact me Tommy Akirkpatrick on Facebook. You have the

773
00:43:44.639 --> 00:43:47.960
email there. I offer a free fifty minute consultation. If

774
00:43:47.960 --> 00:43:49.639
you do that, I'll give you my sixty n dollar

775
00:43:49.719 --> 00:43:52.480
book for free, Forget and Forget How to Nut your

776
00:43:52.480 --> 00:43:54.159
credit Card debt. So I'm trying to do is help

777
00:43:54.239 --> 00:43:57.800
you not get out of debt. It's the resolve your

778
00:43:57.920 --> 00:44:00.519
issues about your free checking account. So you've got to

779
00:44:00.519 --> 00:44:02.760
take the money out first before we close it. So

780
00:44:02.880 --> 00:44:06.159
usually I find thousands of dollars for people before. They

781
00:44:06.239 --> 00:44:09.280
don't even know they have money, so they there, they

782
00:44:09.400 --> 00:44:11.599
eliminate us off the credit card and they have money

783
00:44:11.599 --> 00:44:13.400
in our pocket. So that's what I do for people.

784
00:44:16.000 --> 00:44:19.199
Well, Tommy, this has been enlightening, to say the least.

785
00:44:19.760 --> 00:44:24.519
It has pushed me to rethink how I think about

786
00:44:24.559 --> 00:44:27.840
this whole issue with banks and everything else. And I'm

787
00:44:27.880 --> 00:44:32.480
hoping that we can help some people that would like

788
00:44:32.599 --> 00:44:36.719
to pursue this. That the things that he mentions will

789
00:44:36.719 --> 00:44:39.599
be in the bonus downloads on the Ask Good Questions

790
00:44:39.639 --> 00:44:45.280
