[00:07.800 --> 00:08.800] at thelibertybeat.com.
[00:08.800 --> 00:14.320] I'm Brian Hagan with your Liberty Beat for Friday, February 27th, 2015.

[00:48.760 --> 00:52.720] In the news, the Washington Times calls it a landmark decision.
[00:52.720 --> 00:57.640] That follows Thursday's FCC approval of net neutrality, which gives the federal government
[00:57.640 --> 01:01.240] a major role in oversight of internet traffic.
[01:01.240 --> 01:08.960] Critics decry the move as a gateway into government oversight of the entire internet.
[01:08.960 --> 01:14.520] The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, commonly known as DARPA, is close to completing
[01:14.520 --> 01:17.120] an advanced voice recognition program.
[01:17.120 --> 01:23.200] The agency is in the third phase of the robust automatic transcription of speech RATS program,
[01:23.200 --> 01:28.320] which is capable of deciphering human voices, even when background noise renders the conversation
[01:28.320 --> 01:29.320] inaudible.
[01:29.320 --> 01:36.140] In honor of the launch of the new and improved SovereignLiving.com, each day this week the
[01:36.140 --> 01:40.760] Liberty Beat is bringing you a simple survival tip that just might save your life.
[01:40.760 --> 01:42.880] With today's tip, here's John Bush.
[01:42.880 --> 01:43.880] Have a bug out plan.
[01:43.880 --> 01:45.980] You never know when a crisis could occur.
[01:45.980 --> 01:50.560] Some disasters could be so severe that you and your family need to leave your home immediately.
[01:50.560 --> 01:54.360] It's important that you have a plan as to where you are going to go should you need
[01:54.360 --> 01:55.600] to vacate your home.
[01:55.600 --> 01:59.800] Also, if your family or bug out group members are not in the same place when your crew decides
[01:59.800 --> 02:03.520] it's time to get the heck out of Dodge, it's important to have a predetermined meeting
[02:03.520 --> 02:06.480] place so everyone is on the same page and knows where to go.
[02:06.480 --> 02:10.080] Make sure your plan takes into account what the environment might be like in the disaster
[02:10.080 --> 02:11.940] or civil unrest scenario.
[02:11.940 --> 02:13.360] What will major roads be like?
[02:13.360 --> 02:14.880] Could bridges be down?
[02:14.880 --> 02:16.640] Could checkpoints be set up?
[02:16.640 --> 02:20.120] Pre-stock your bug out location with enough supplies to last you and your crew a month
[02:20.120 --> 02:23.120] or longer should you need to hunker down for the long haul.
[02:23.120 --> 02:26.440] Finally, keep your bug out plan on a need to know basis.
[02:26.440 --> 02:29.920] You don't want the authorities or your neighbor Bob showing up unexpectedly.
[02:29.920 --> 02:32.480] The world is a dangerous and unpredictable place.
[02:32.480 --> 02:35.020] There's no better time than now to get prepared.
[02:35.020 --> 02:36.480] Your life may depend on it.

[02:53.840 --> 02:57.840] This is the Liberty Beat for Friday, February 27, 2015.
[02:57.840 --> 03:14.280] Check out the website at theLibertyBeat.com.
[03:14.280 --> 03:42.440] Okay, we are back.
[03:42.440 --> 04:09.360] The whole point is here is when we go into a case.
[04:09.360 --> 04:14.880] We need to have some structure in what we're doing.
[04:14.880 --> 04:21.040] Most of the time people have issues and they look at their issues and they jump in there
[04:21.040 --> 04:25.240] and start arguing their issues and I want to say, hold on, hold on, wait a minute, let's
[04:25.240 --> 04:27.840] back up.
[04:27.840 --> 04:29.920] Let's take a look at the whole arena.
[04:29.920 --> 04:30.920] What do we have?
[04:30.920 --> 04:31.920] What are the parameters here?
[04:31.920 --> 04:34.200] What do we have to deal with?
[04:34.200 --> 04:39.960] One of the things we're trying to do is dispel some notions that aren't necessarily accurate
[04:39.960 --> 04:45.320] and one of them is that you will win your case if you have the law and the facts on
[04:45.320 --> 04:46.320] your side.
[04:46.320 --> 04:50.880] You will not win your case simply because you have the law and the facts on your side.
[04:50.880 --> 04:51.880] To think so is naive.
[04:51.880 --> 04:58.000] You'll win your case if you have the politics on your side.
[04:58.000 --> 04:59.000] We need the law and the facts.
[04:59.000 --> 05:02.000] That's the tools we use.
[05:02.000 --> 05:04.400] We use those to get to the politics.
[05:04.400 --> 05:11.400] So the first thing we need to do is get strategic about organizing the tools.
[05:11.400 --> 05:19.080] The first thing we have to do is don't listen to anything the other side says.
[05:19.080 --> 05:29.960] Question everything, admit to nothing, accept nothing without conclusive proof of all of
[05:29.960 --> 05:31.960] the elements.
[05:31.960 --> 05:37.480] That's the first discipline we have to do.
[05:37.480 --> 05:43.280] It gives us a different perspective on what's in front of us in this case.
[05:43.280 --> 05:49.280] We have a lawyer that made proactive statements of fact and law.
[05:49.280 --> 05:56.680] We don't accept any of those statements of fact and law as true unless he has conclusively
[05:56.680 --> 05:58.840] proven them.
[05:58.840 --> 06:05.680] So once we've got that done, now we look at it and we think, okay, how can we create for
[06:05.680 --> 06:09.080] the other side the most difficulty?
[06:09.080 --> 06:12.680] And if there's lawyers out there listening to me, they're going to say, oh, you can't
[06:12.680 --> 06:14.160] do that.
[06:14.160 --> 06:16.240] You have to argue valid issues.
[06:16.240 --> 06:25.400] Well, if you're a lawyer dangling by your bar card perhaps, but if you're a pro se,
[06:25.400 --> 06:31.960] you can do these calculations and I assure you that every lawyer, even though he's dangling
[06:31.960 --> 06:36.960] by his bar card, does these calculations.
[06:36.960 --> 06:41.920] What will give me the most leverage?
[06:41.920 --> 06:49.240] Every lawyer goes into a case with the expectation of settling the case, not waiting in the end.
[06:49.240 --> 06:54.000] He's going to do everything he can to build as much leverage for his side.
[06:54.000 --> 07:01.560] You get stopped for a gram of marijuana, they charge you with enough marijuana to make a
[07:01.560 --> 07:07.520] trafficking charge so they can use that to leverage you back to what they wanted to charge
[07:07.520 --> 07:09.120] you with in the first place.
[07:09.120 --> 07:11.480] This is how it works.
[07:11.480 --> 07:13.840] So you need to do the same thing.
[07:13.840 --> 07:18.400] Go after that lawyer for everything you can.
[07:18.400 --> 07:25.720] He makes a statement, if he testifies to the court, makes a statement out of his own mouth,
[07:25.720 --> 07:29.600] bar grieve him for it.
[07:29.600 --> 07:31.480] Lawyers can't testify.
[07:31.480 --> 07:34.440] Build all the leverage you can and that's really what we will do.
[07:34.440 --> 07:36.800] You opened up another can of worms there, Randy.
[07:36.800 --> 07:45.000] You've got to be able to identify when a lawyer is testifying.
[07:45.000 --> 07:47.680] That's not so easy.
[07:47.680 --> 07:50.200] That is absolutely true.
[07:50.200 --> 07:54.400] You should always get transcripts and go back through them and read them.
[07:54.400 --> 07:55.400] Yes.
[07:55.400 --> 08:00.120] That's something I did is I developed a nasty habit of getting transcripts of all the hearings
[08:00.120 --> 08:02.120] I went to.
[08:02.120 --> 08:07.400] This, it is the transcript is what I hold against them.
[08:07.400 --> 08:12.520] But you know what, in courts right here, these trial courts, they're not recorded.
[08:12.520 --> 08:17.840] You can ask for a court reporter, but then it's going to like, you know, then the judge
[08:17.840 --> 08:22.480] is going to like probably a little edgy, you know, why are you asking for a...
[08:22.480 --> 08:23.480] Okay.
[08:23.480 --> 08:24.600] Hang on.
[08:24.600 --> 08:29.480] You really don't care if that judge is edgy or not.
[08:29.480 --> 08:35.160] The judge is a public servant.
[08:35.160 --> 08:37.720] You are the master.
[08:37.720 --> 08:42.800] The judge has a duty to determine the facts in accordance with the rules of evidence and
[08:42.800 --> 08:45.600] apply the law as it comes to him, to the facts in the case.
[08:45.600 --> 08:49.200] If he wants to do something else, he needs to go do that at home.
[08:49.200 --> 08:53.520] If he wants to have himself an attitude, go have that at home.
[08:53.520 --> 08:58.400] But if he wants to do something that denies you any one of your rights, your judicial
[08:58.400 --> 09:07.080] conduct complaint against him, depending on the nature I had a judge, tell me that I was
[09:07.080 --> 09:13.880] in jeopardy of contempt of court because of what I was saying to the court.
[09:13.880 --> 09:20.680] So far as I was concerned, he threatened me in order to alter my testimony.
[09:20.680 --> 09:26.360] That's witness tampering, charging with it.
[09:26.360 --> 09:30.560] Now a lawyer can't play hardball with the judge, but you can.
[09:30.560 --> 09:35.880] You have to assume the judge is going to rule against you out of hand at every turn.
[09:35.880 --> 09:43.280] Maybe, maybe he won't, but you have to act as if he's going to, if he rules in your favor,
[09:43.280 --> 09:44.280] wonderful.
[09:44.280 --> 09:47.360] And in the end, you don't care what he wants.
[09:47.360 --> 09:55.000] You are only there to set the record for appeal.
[09:55.000 --> 09:56.520] Keep that always in mind.
[09:56.520 --> 10:00.360] You don't care what this judge does.
[10:00.360 --> 10:02.640] You're just there to set the record.
[10:02.640 --> 10:06.200] Have you read Jurisdictionary?
[10:06.200 --> 10:07.200] Yeah.
[10:07.200 --> 10:08.200] Good.
[10:08.200 --> 10:09.200] Yeah.
[10:09.200 --> 10:16.440] But I kind of like stray away from it, but I got to stay on exactly everything he says.
[10:16.440 --> 10:19.480] Go back to it and be a mechanic.
[10:19.480 --> 10:21.480] It'll make life a lot easier for you.
[10:21.480 --> 10:28.440] And above all, be careful about getting caught up in the fight.
[10:28.440 --> 10:34.720] That's why you write down your intended ultimate outcome.
[10:34.720 --> 10:36.060] Write it down.
[10:36.060 --> 10:41.600] Go for something much bigger, but know what a win is.
[10:41.600 --> 10:43.400] You always keep that in front of you.
[10:43.400 --> 10:46.480] It keeps you from getting caught up in the fight.
[10:46.480 --> 10:49.880] A dismissal would be a win.
[10:49.880 --> 10:56.680] A dismissal with prejudice would be a knockout.
[10:56.680 --> 11:04.760] A dismissal with prejudice and damages, that's going to take a lot of work.
[11:04.760 --> 11:12.080] A deal where the lender knocks off a couple hundred grand off the note, cuts your interest
[11:12.080 --> 11:15.880] by two thirds, would that be a win?
[11:15.880 --> 11:20.200] What would be just enough to be a win?
[11:20.200 --> 11:23.800] Everything beyond that's extra.
[11:23.800 --> 11:29.920] Once you got that always in mind, you always know where you're going.
[11:29.920 --> 11:38.560] Everything you decide to do, ask yourself, will this lead me toward my ultimate outcome?
[11:38.560 --> 11:40.520] If not, you don't get to do it.
[11:40.520 --> 11:48.360] When the bailiff knocked me down and broke my elbow, I thought, if I go after the bailiff,
[11:48.360 --> 11:52.080] will this lead me toward my ultimate outcome?
[11:52.080 --> 11:58.760] I could find no way to frame it, or it would lead me toward my ultimate outcome, so I left
[11:58.760 --> 12:02.040] the bailiff alone.
[12:02.040 --> 12:07.680] That did more good for me than anything I could ever have done, and I wouldn't have
[12:07.680 --> 12:15.960] been able to if I didn't have that talisman, that goal set for myself that I was going
[12:15.960 --> 12:16.960] toward.
[12:16.960 --> 12:23.080] Once you have that down, once you have that, then go back and be a mechanic.
[12:23.080 --> 12:25.880] What are the elements of the case?
[12:25.880 --> 12:27.320] Have they proved all the elements?
[12:27.320 --> 12:28.320] What do they have to prove?
[12:28.320 --> 12:31.560] What do you have to prove to get to the end?
[12:31.560 --> 12:39.280] If you want to make an argument, and it's not part of one of those elements, no matter
[12:39.280 --> 12:45.960] how much you want to make the argument, don't waste your time with it.
[12:45.960 --> 12:53.120] Now I'm going to stop, and I'm going to quit interrupting you, and what question do you
[12:53.120 --> 12:54.120] want to answer?
[12:54.120 --> 12:57.120] Ask us if we haven't addressed.
[12:57.120 --> 13:03.480] Well, I was thinking heavily about the FPCPA, because they're debt collectors.
[13:03.480 --> 13:07.640] They always have on their correspondence, this is a test to collect the debt.
[13:07.640 --> 13:08.640] Yes, it applies.
[13:08.640 --> 13:17.800] I really don't want to hear anybody speak, you know, like, hey, yes, yes, it applies.
[13:17.800 --> 13:23.920] Now what you've got to do by me saying, yes, it applies.
[13:23.920 --> 13:27.160] This means that you're going to have to do your homework.
[13:27.160 --> 13:30.160] You're going to have to find your case law to show that it does apply.
[13:30.160 --> 13:37.080] You're going to have to show the statute that holds it applicable.
[13:37.080 --> 13:42.800] You've already given me one good lead.
[13:42.800 --> 13:48.020] They introduce themselves as a debt collector, and they give them mini Miranda.
[13:48.020 --> 13:51.440] We are a debt collector attempting to collect the debt, any information gathered to be
[13:51.440 --> 13:54.320] used for that purpose, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
[13:54.320 --> 13:55.320] Done.
[13:55.320 --> 13:56.320] Okay.
[13:56.320 --> 13:57.320] Thank you.
[13:57.320 --> 14:02.440] You just invoked two acts, or one of two.
[14:02.440 --> 14:11.400] If you're in federal, you're going to 15 USC.
[14:11.400 --> 14:18.920] If you're state, you're going to your state's debt collection act, Fair Debt Collection.
[14:18.920 --> 14:20.160] Every state has one.
[14:20.160 --> 14:21.160] Yeah.
[14:21.160 --> 14:27.360] If you're in the Fed, if you want to use the FDCPA, I'm sorry, the Fair Debt Collections
[14:27.360 --> 14:32.960] Practices Act, you use 15 USC 1692 G.
[14:32.960 --> 14:33.960] Correct.
[14:33.960 --> 14:47.320] Now, if this entity that is acting as a debt collector is registered with your state's...
[14:47.320 --> 14:57.040] Here in Texas, it would be the secretary of state, but New York's equivalent, if not literally
[14:57.040 --> 15:09.400] a secretary of state, if they are registered as a debt collector in New York, then there
[15:09.400 --> 15:15.660] is no diversity of jurisdiction if you go after them alone.
[15:15.660 --> 15:19.800] If they are registered to do business in that state, then they must have an office where
[15:19.800 --> 15:25.140] they can be served with citation.
[15:25.140 --> 15:31.360] If it were me, I would have them served with citation.
[15:31.360 --> 15:40.620] My cause of actions, my causes of action would be found in violations of the State Debt Collection
[15:40.620 --> 15:43.400] Practices Act.
[15:43.400 --> 15:48.120] Bring forth all of your claims against them in the state venue.
[15:48.120 --> 15:54.940] The reason I say in the state venue is because they are registered to do business there in
[15:54.940 --> 15:57.960] New York, making them a New York entity.
[15:57.960 --> 16:05.080] There is no diversity of jurisdiction that would possibly make this a federal issue.
[16:05.080 --> 16:06.080] Why?
[16:06.080 --> 16:08.680] Are they debt collectors?
[16:08.680 --> 16:09.680] They are...
[16:09.680 --> 16:10.680] Correct.
[16:10.680 --> 16:11.680] Correct.
[16:11.680 --> 16:17.960] But they're licensed or they're permitted to do business in New York.
[16:17.960 --> 16:25.360] I would look more toward the New York statutes than the federal statutes because diversity
[16:25.360 --> 16:26.800] is not an issue.
[16:26.800 --> 16:27.800] Okay.
[16:27.800 --> 16:28.800] Great.
[16:28.800 --> 16:29.800] Got you.
[16:29.800 --> 16:35.040] In the state, they would probably shoot it back down to the state anyway, huh?
[16:35.040 --> 16:38.200] If it was filed and fed, it would probably be remanded.
[16:38.200 --> 16:41.320] Bill, we're going to let you go, man.
[16:41.320 --> 16:46.280] We've got two other callers online that have been very patiently waiting.

[17:05.200 --> 17:06.720] of nutrition.

[19:27.760 --> 19:28.760] children.
[19:28.760 --> 19:29.760] Come on.
[19:29.760 --> 19:59.120] Welcome back to Rule Law Radio, folks.
[19:59.120 --> 20:07.600] And Bill in New York, do please call in next week or later on in the show, and let's try
[20:07.600 --> 20:11.160] to stay on point on the question.
[20:11.160 --> 20:17.040] So Phil in Texas, thank you for very patiently holding on for so long.
[20:17.040 --> 20:22.320] What do you got on your mind, brother?
[20:22.320 --> 20:31.400] Back in May of 2014, I was sued by a debt collector.
[20:31.400 --> 20:36.680] And actually, I bought the Michael Mears program, just sent out the first letter, just kind
[20:36.680 --> 20:41.080] of just denying everything.
[20:41.080 --> 20:46.520] And they gave me a response back that I kind of thought was non-responsive, but then it
[20:46.520 --> 20:47.520] didn't.
[20:47.520 --> 20:50.120] Okay, pause right there.
[20:50.120 --> 20:51.120] Yeah.
[20:51.120 --> 21:02.440] Well, Randy had alluded to 15 USC 1692-G, which I know for a fact is also referred to
[21:02.440 --> 21:09.080] in Mr. Mears' package, 1692-G.
[21:09.080 --> 21:14.080] There are two periods of time.
[21:14.080 --> 21:18.320] There is a time to acknowledge and a time to respond.
[21:18.320 --> 21:19.600] Right.
[21:19.600 --> 21:27.520] I had the understanding that here a year or two ago, that time was narrowed.
[21:27.520 --> 21:34.440] I take that back, pause, never mind that what I'm thinking was pursuant to a qualified written
[21:34.440 --> 21:37.440] request, I apologize.
[21:37.440 --> 21:42.840] So they've got, I believe, correct me if I'm wrong, it's been a while since I've read
[21:42.840 --> 21:56.760] the statute, but they've got 20 days to acknowledge and 30 days to respond, is that correct?
[21:56.760 --> 21:57.840] I'm looking it up.
[21:57.840 --> 22:00.040] It's been even longer since I've read it.
[22:00.040 --> 22:01.040] Okay.
[22:01.040 --> 22:07.320] And they did send a letter back, but they didn't, I guess, refute any of the very few
[22:07.320 --> 22:09.160] of the points that I brought out.
[22:09.160 --> 22:11.360] Okay, wait a minute, wait a minute.
[22:11.360 --> 22:17.440] In the first letter that you got back from them, the first response, I have two questions
[22:17.440 --> 22:18.920] about that.
[22:18.920 --> 22:25.160] Number one, what was the language in the letter that they sent to you?
[22:25.160 --> 22:31.040] And second, what was the timeframe from the time they received it to the time they sent
[22:31.040 --> 22:34.880] you this, the time it was postmarked?
[22:34.880 --> 22:37.560] They did send it back in a relatively timely manner.
[22:37.560 --> 22:39.080] I'd have to go look at it.
[22:39.080 --> 22:41.280] I have it all filed away.
[22:41.280 --> 22:49.200] When you say relatively timely manner, relative is objection irrelevant.
[22:49.200 --> 22:53.200] What is relevant is statutory requirements.
[22:53.200 --> 22:54.200] Right.
[22:54.200 --> 22:55.200] I think that-
[22:55.200 --> 23:00.520] That is the only thing relevant is statutory requirements.
[23:00.520 --> 23:02.560] Right.
[23:02.560 --> 23:09.040] And when they did respond to me, and it was about two weeks that it took them to respond.
[23:09.040 --> 23:19.360] Well, wait a minute, wait a minute, keep in mind, let's not be misled by the word respond.
[23:19.360 --> 23:23.720] We typically think, and I've fallen into the same trap.
[23:23.720 --> 23:29.680] We think a response is the first letter, not in this case.
[23:29.680 --> 23:31.160] Right.
[23:31.160 --> 23:39.800] In this case, an acknowledgement is required before a response.
[23:39.800 --> 23:43.560] A response is an answer to your question.
[23:43.560 --> 23:52.120] An acknowledgement says, oh, hey, we've got your letter and we intend to respond by, pick
[23:52.120 --> 23:57.880] your date, that would be based upon the time they received your request.
[23:57.880 --> 23:58.880] Right.
[23:58.880 --> 24:10.680] Pursuant to 1692 G. So 1692 G, again, there's a double, there's two statutes of limitations
[24:10.680 --> 24:12.240] built in there.
[24:12.240 --> 24:14.040] And Randy's looking into this.
[24:14.040 --> 24:21.560] I think they've got to, I know for a fact, now the time to respond is the only thing
[24:21.560 --> 24:28.240] that's cloudy in my mind, but I know for a fact, they must first send you acknowledgement
[24:28.240 --> 24:35.760] that they have received your request and have every intent on responding within the statutorily
[24:35.760 --> 24:38.720] allowed time limit.
[24:38.720 --> 24:43.600] By the end of that time, they have got to respond.
[24:43.600 --> 24:50.880] Response differs from acknowledgement in that it answers your question.
[24:50.880 --> 24:56.320] So there's a two-step process, hey, we got your question, we'll get right back.
[24:56.320 --> 24:59.920] And then there's the answer to your question.
[24:59.920 --> 25:04.440] That's the difference between acknowledgement and response.
[25:04.440 --> 25:11.920] So when did they, my question to you, Philip, is when did they, I'm sorry, what was the
[25:11.920 --> 25:18.920] language in their acknowledgement that is the first correspondence that you would have
[25:18.920 --> 25:23.800] received since you sent that?
[25:23.800 --> 25:35.400] And what is the time period correspondent with the statutory allowed time period for
[25:35.400 --> 25:36.400] their acknowledgement?
[25:36.400 --> 25:37.400] Okay, hold on.
[25:37.400 --> 25:43.880] I just read the statute and I think we're confusing this with a qualified written request
[25:43.880 --> 25:46.320] as.
[25:46.320 --> 25:56.560] The only time limit here is the consumer after receiving a presentment from the debt collector
[25:56.560 --> 26:01.680] has 30 days to dispute the debt.
[26:01.680 --> 26:07.880] And there is no time limit in the statute for the debt collector to respond.
[26:07.880 --> 26:14.000] However, the debt collector is stopped from any further collection activities until he
[26:14.000 --> 26:18.680] does respond.
[26:18.680 --> 26:27.120] That five day and 20 day is the qualified written request statute.
[26:27.120 --> 26:33.200] In my defense, I have spent far more time in the real estate settlement procedures act
[26:33.200 --> 26:35.960] than I have the Fair Debt Collection Practices.
[26:35.960 --> 26:36.960] Me too.
[26:36.960 --> 26:39.400] I knew the statute had been a long time since I read it.
[26:39.400 --> 26:44.840] I've written a brief on this statute and I still didn't remember what happens when you're
[26:44.840 --> 26:47.840] old and you sleep.
[26:47.840 --> 26:55.640] So they forgot to say it earlier on, but this is my letter was in response to the suits.
[26:55.640 --> 26:59.040] So they yell that this isn't just me as they usually are.
[26:59.040 --> 27:00.040] Yes.
[27:00.040 --> 27:01.040] Right.
[27:01.040 --> 27:07.800] So he and they filed to county court and I responded and added, you know, my response
[27:07.800 --> 27:17.520] to the court record sent both the court and the lawyer a certified letter refuting all
[27:17.520 --> 27:20.520] his claims.
[27:20.520 --> 27:23.040] And they just sent me personally back up.
[27:23.040 --> 27:26.480] Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
[27:26.480 --> 27:27.480] Okay.
[27:27.480 --> 27:31.320] Let me go back a little bit and see if I understand something.
[27:31.320 --> 27:39.920] They filed something in court and you responded back to them by certified letter.
[27:39.920 --> 27:41.720] Yes.
[27:41.720 --> 27:43.160] Okay.
[27:43.160 --> 27:48.920] Did you file an answer in the court before your, did you file an answer in the court?
[27:48.920 --> 27:49.920] Yes.
[27:49.920 --> 27:52.920] At the same time.
[27:52.920 --> 27:54.920] Okay.
[27:54.920 --> 27:58.360] There's a flaw here.
[27:58.360 --> 28:06.760] Once you file something in court, you do not respond directly to the other side.
[28:06.760 --> 28:12.280] You always, unless you're in discovery, okay.
[28:12.280 --> 28:21.000] Once you go into discovery, you're not filing your response to the plaintiff's request for
[28:21.000 --> 28:30.760] derogatories, admissions of, request for admissions and request for production, blah, blah, blah.
[28:30.760 --> 28:31.760] Okay.
[28:31.760 --> 28:37.760] That is kind of back and forth between you and the respondent, not involving the court,
[28:37.760 --> 28:45.200] but up to that point, everything's got to be filed in court, in the court so that the
[28:45.200 --> 28:48.760] court sees what's going on.
[28:48.760 --> 28:54.200] Now you're required in discovery to keep a record of discovery.
[28:54.200 --> 29:02.960] So if there's any issues that arise from discovery or the failure to, let me leave it at that,
[29:02.960 --> 29:10.000] any issues arriving from discovery so that you, you're able to bring your records back
[29:10.000 --> 29:18.560] to the court for the court to take a closer look to see if everything has been complied
[29:18.560 --> 29:21.360] with statutorily.
[29:21.360 --> 29:23.640] Let me ask a quick question.
[29:23.640 --> 29:29.960] Philip, what you sent to the lawyer, was it a copy of your answer or was it a separate
[29:29.960 --> 29:30.960] letter?
[29:30.960 --> 29:32.960] It was a copy of the answer.
[29:32.960 --> 29:33.960] Oh, good.
[29:33.960 --> 29:34.960] You're clean.
[29:34.960 --> 29:35.960] Hang on.
[29:35.960 --> 29:36.960] We're about to go to break.
[29:36.960 --> 29:40.280] Randy Kelton, Steve Skidmore, we have our radio.
[29:40.280 --> 29:45.080] Our call in number 512-646-1984.
[29:45.080 --> 29:49.720] Okay, we'll keep the call boards open all night and we'll take any questions, especially
[29:49.720 --> 29:55.120] questions about personal issues for Steve just to make him come home.
[29:55.120 --> 29:56.120] No, no, no, no, no.
[29:56.120 --> 29:57.120] You did that.
[29:57.120 --> 29:58.120] You sneaky booger.
[29:58.120 --> 29:59.120] We'll be right back.
[29:59.120 --> 30:05.320] Russian writer Alexander Solzhenitsyn was sentenced to eight years hard labor for criticizing
[30:05.320 --> 30:06.960] Stalin in a letter to a friend.
[30:06.960 --> 30:09.520] Good thing those days are past, or are they?
[30:09.520 --> 30:11.120] I'm Dr. Catherine Albrecht.
[30:11.120 --> 30:12.120] More in a moment.
[30:12.120 --> 30:17.120] Google is watching you, recording everything you've ever searched for and creating a massive
[30:17.120 --> 30:19.360] database of your personal information.
[30:19.360 --> 30:20.360] That's crazy.
[30:20.360 --> 30:23.040] But it doesn't have to be that way.

[30:42.520 --> 30:47.600] Back in the bad old Soviet days, officials routinely opened people's letters and scanned
[30:47.600 --> 30:49.200] them for political correctness.
[30:49.200 --> 30:53.360] Today, the government of Finland is opening and scanning people's letters for a different
[30:53.360 --> 30:55.720] reason, to deliver their mail electronically.
[30:55.720 --> 31:00.720] Hundreds of Finnish citizens are letting postal workers open their mail and scan each letter
[31:00.720 --> 31:04.960] and bill into a computer file they can see online or receive by email.
[31:04.960 --> 31:07.640] They hope the idea eventually goes viral.
[31:07.640 --> 31:11.480] Political officials promise the staff is sworn to secrecy and would never read the contents
[31:11.480 --> 31:12.480] of the letters.
[31:12.480 --> 31:17.720] Somehow, if he were alive today, I doubt Alexander Solzhenitsyn would be among the first to sign
[31:17.720 --> 31:18.720] up.

[32:06.360 --> 32:10.000] In today's America, we live in an us-against-them society, and if we, the people, are ever going
[32:10.000 --> 32:14.120] to have a free society, then we're going to have to stand and defend our own rights.
[32:14.120 --> 32:17.160] Among those rights are the right to travel freely from place to place, the right to act
[32:17.160 --> 32:21.200] in our own private capacity, and most importantly, the right to due process of law.
[32:21.200 --> 32:25.040] Traffic courts afford us the least expensive opportunity to learn how to enforce and preserve
[32:25.040 --> 32:26.520] our rights through due process.
[32:26.520 --> 32:30.400] Former Sheriff's Deputy Eddie Craig, in conjunction with Rule of Law Radio, has put together the
[32:30.400 --> 32:34.160] most comprehensive teaching tool available that will help you understand what due process

[33:25.160 --> 33:39.440] Welcome back to Rule of Law Radio, folks.
[33:39.440 --> 33:45.000] You are listening to Steve Skidmore, who stands corrected, and Randy Kelton, who corrected
[33:45.000 --> 33:51.200] me, and I'm sure Phillip in Texas would probably have had something to add to it too, but I
[33:51.200 --> 33:55.680] do stand corrected that what I was saying was true.
[33:55.680 --> 34:06.480] It was completely irrelevant because what I was saying in the double timeline or the
[34:06.480 --> 34:15.440] two statutes of limitations was, in fact, pursuant to Real Estate Settlement Procedures
[34:15.440 --> 34:24.360] Act, I'll forget the statute, it's according to a Qualified Written Request, aka QWR.
[34:24.360 --> 34:32.800] So Phillip, my apologies for wasting so much of your time and being off statute, so to
[34:32.800 --> 34:35.800] speak, I suppose.
[34:35.800 --> 34:42.600] Okay, I guess the only thing to do from here is to pick it up.
[34:42.600 --> 34:47.680] Phillip, that's your cue, buddy.
[34:47.680 --> 34:48.680] Get us back on track.
[34:48.680 --> 34:49.680] Thank you.
[34:49.680 --> 34:50.680] That's it.
[34:50.680 --> 34:58.720] I mean, so they sent a response to my, I guess to my answer, sorry, my terminology being
[34:58.720 --> 35:06.240] kind of read it down the wrong path, but they sent a response to me, but not to the courts.
[35:06.240 --> 35:07.240] So...
[35:07.240 --> 35:11.120] Okay, they can't bring it up in the court.
[35:11.120 --> 35:14.000] They're not required to respond to your answer.
[35:14.000 --> 35:15.360] Okay.
[35:15.360 --> 35:22.440] But if they didn't send one to the court, if they didn't file one, they can't address
[35:22.440 --> 35:25.520] that document in the court.
[35:25.520 --> 35:27.740] Their response is not before the court.
[35:27.740 --> 35:31.320] Did you check to see if they had actually filed one?
[35:31.320 --> 35:37.120] I have and there's nothing in the court record besides the original due to my answer.
[35:37.120 --> 35:41.920] Okay, so what that, all that does is if they try to address anything that's in there, you
[35:41.920 --> 35:42.920] raise an objection.
[35:42.920 --> 35:43.920] Okay.
[35:43.920 --> 35:49.720] Not an issue before the court calls for a legal conclusion.
[35:49.720 --> 35:54.480] So I guess my real question is where do I go from here?
[35:54.480 --> 35:59.440] Timeframes are the suit was filed in 2014, May 2014.
[35:59.440 --> 36:06.120] I responded at the beginning of June of 2014 or answered, I guess.
[36:06.120 --> 36:14.840] Has it been over 180 days since they've taken any action toward prosecuting the suit?
[36:14.840 --> 36:18.360] It's been over 180 days and I haven't heard anything from them and there's nothing in
[36:18.360 --> 36:19.360] the court record.
[36:19.360 --> 36:22.720] File a motion to dismiss the lack of prosecution.
[36:22.720 --> 36:28.800] Failure to prosecute or failure to prosecute in a timely manner and then cite the statute
[36:28.800 --> 36:32.920] that allows them the, how many days?
[36:32.920 --> 36:35.720] 180, I thought.
[36:35.720 --> 36:36.720] 180.
[36:36.720 --> 36:37.720] Okay.
[36:37.720 --> 36:43.880] Find that statute that allows them 180 days and file a motion to dismiss for failure to
[36:43.880 --> 36:47.080] prosecute in a timely manner.
[36:47.080 --> 36:51.640] So now let me pause you right there.
[36:51.640 --> 36:54.120] What I need to prepare for.
[36:54.120 --> 36:55.720] Hang on, hang on just a second.
[36:55.720 --> 37:03.120] Have you looked into the statute limitations on filing for this specific cause and do you
[37:03.120 --> 37:07.920] have a statute limitations issue?
[37:07.920 --> 37:09.920] I have not looked into it yet.
[37:09.920 --> 37:14.320] How old was this debt?
[37:14.320 --> 37:22.280] The debt is, I'd say at this point, two to three years old.
[37:22.280 --> 37:23.280] Okay.
[37:23.280 --> 37:28.320] It's going to have to be four to fall within the statute limitations for coming after you.
[37:28.320 --> 37:34.600] In other words, if you can hold them off until they sell it to another company and then hold
[37:34.600 --> 37:43.560] them off until they sell it to another company, until four years has passed, then you got
[37:43.560 --> 37:47.920] the next guy in line on statute limitations.
[37:47.920 --> 37:52.440] My recommendation, don't poke the bear.
[37:52.440 --> 37:53.440] Correct.
[37:53.440 --> 37:56.680] I was wondering.
[37:56.680 --> 38:03.240] If they try now to prosecute, then you object to the prosecution and ask them to dismiss
[38:03.240 --> 38:08.680] for failure to timely prosecute, but otherwise just let the clock run.
[38:08.680 --> 38:09.680] Okay.
[38:09.680 --> 38:17.920] Personally, I'd like to see it disappear so it's not hanging over my head in the back
[38:17.920 --> 38:25.040] of my mind, but I completely understand I don't really want them to start filing paperwork
[38:25.040 --> 38:26.560] and all that sort of stuff.
[38:26.560 --> 38:33.160] If it just does disappear four years later, then I can stall or you know.
[38:33.160 --> 38:35.960] Well, let me... Okay.
[38:35.960 --> 38:39.280] Let's switch tracks here.
[38:39.280 --> 38:40.440] We're on the same topic.
[38:40.440 --> 38:43.360] We're just switching tracks.
[38:43.360 --> 38:55.960] Were you trying to work out some type of deal with the actual creditor at the time that
[38:55.960 --> 38:59.000] this other party entered into a deal?
[38:59.000 --> 39:00.000] No.
[39:00.000 --> 39:01.000] Nothing.
[39:01.000 --> 39:02.000] No.
[39:02.000 --> 39:03.000] Okay.
[39:03.000 --> 39:11.720] When was the last communication that you received from the actual creditor?
[39:11.720 --> 39:12.720] I don't know.
[39:12.720 --> 39:15.720] I didn't keep good records on it, to be honest.
[39:15.720 --> 39:19.880] Good records of the lawsuit, but not anything from the creditor.
[39:19.880 --> 39:20.880] Okay.
[39:20.880 --> 39:21.880] Let that be a lesson to you.
[39:21.880 --> 39:24.320] Always keep everything.
[39:24.320 --> 39:28.640] If I buy gas down the street, I keep the receipt.
[39:28.640 --> 39:33.120] When the lady asked me, do you want your receipt, yes, I do.
[39:33.120 --> 39:35.120] Keep it.
[39:35.120 --> 39:36.120] Everything.
[39:36.120 --> 39:37.120] Everything.
[39:37.120 --> 39:41.200] Keep it, because you never know when you're going to need it.
[39:41.200 --> 39:42.200] Keep it.
[39:42.200 --> 39:47.720] Keep it until your statute of limitations runs out on a cause of action on that document.
[39:47.720 --> 39:48.720] Right.
[39:48.720 --> 39:50.760] Then get rid of it.
[39:50.760 --> 39:51.760] Okay.
[39:51.760 --> 40:02.000] Now, that said, that's for future thought, but with... I had a statute of limitations
[40:02.000 --> 40:08.920] issue thing, but you're still a good ways out on statute of limitations.
[40:08.920 --> 40:18.560] That is for filing suit on an alleged claim or an assigned claim.
[40:18.560 --> 40:27.240] What evidence did they give you that the claim was actually assigned to them?
[40:27.240 --> 40:29.440] They sent... I'm trying to remember.
[40:29.440 --> 40:31.800] I have it in front of me.
[40:31.800 --> 40:37.040] They sent a... basically, the bill, it was a credit card bill.
[40:37.040 --> 40:41.600] They just sent me a copy of the credit card bill, and that was all the evidence.
[40:41.600 --> 40:48.800] Then they had someone from some random place, honestly, it was some random place lady sign
[40:48.800 --> 40:54.720] that I verify that this debt is accurate, blah, blah, blah, and it was signed to him.
[40:54.720 --> 40:57.720] That was an affidavit?
[40:57.720 --> 40:58.720] Mm-hmm.
[40:58.720 --> 40:59.720] Okay.
[40:59.720 --> 41:00.720] Okay.
[41:00.720 --> 41:12.240] So a credit card bill and no assignment, just an affidavit saying that the credit card bill
[41:12.240 --> 41:13.240] is accurate?
[41:13.240 --> 41:14.240] Yes.
[41:14.240 --> 41:15.240] Huh.
[41:15.240 --> 41:24.720] It's awful strange that some unidentified party who you've never had a contract with
[41:24.720 --> 41:27.840] steps into the middle of your deal.
[41:27.840 --> 41:28.840] Okay.
[41:28.840 --> 41:29.840] Okay.
[41:29.840 --> 41:36.240] So out of the blue, these guys just step into your business and say, hey, now you owe us
[41:36.240 --> 41:37.240] money.
[41:37.240 --> 41:38.840] Well, I don't have a contract with you.
[41:38.840 --> 41:41.440] I have a contract with these guys.
[41:41.440 --> 41:42.440] Exactly.
[41:42.440 --> 41:43.440] Okay.
[41:43.440 --> 41:54.280] So I was, or I thought maybe at some time, I was negotiating with these guys, LLC.
[41:54.280 --> 42:00.800] But now you guys, PLLC step into the picture.
[42:00.800 --> 42:05.160] What grants you the authority to be here?
[42:05.160 --> 42:16.480] Now, if you cannot prove to me that you have absolute authority to be here asking me this
[42:16.480 --> 42:24.640] under some kind of color of claim, then what I'm going to hold you responsible for is tortious
[42:24.640 --> 42:27.880] interference with a private contract.
[42:27.880 --> 42:39.040] Now I will let you into this deal for $100,000.
[42:39.040 --> 42:50.200] Now if you file one more document into court, I will take that as a tacit implication that
[42:50.200 --> 42:53.240] you have accepted this deal.
[42:53.240 --> 43:05.320] And within 10 days, I expect a check for $100,000 and in that 10 days, I do not receive that.
[43:05.320 --> 43:10.640] I will sue you for breach of contract.
[43:10.640 --> 43:14.720] Guy in Hawaii, lawyer in Hawaii, Ken Kuniyuki.
[43:14.720 --> 43:15.720] Yes.
[43:15.720 --> 43:17.320] And he won.
[43:17.320 --> 43:24.520] Yes, he won Ken Kuniyuki.
[43:24.520 --> 43:33.920] The Ken Kuniyuki is the attorney who filed this type of claim.
[43:33.920 --> 43:39.440] I hear the music in the background that'll give you a couple of minutes to savor what
[43:39.440 --> 43:40.440] I've just said.
[43:40.440 --> 43:48.120] Then we can revisit that on the other side of this break 512-646-1984 will put you in
[43:48.120 --> 43:55.760] line behind Rob in Minnesota is MNNM wherever you are, Rob will get to you.

[46:24.680 --> 46:54.620] Thanks for your time.
[46:54.680 --> 47:08.000] Welcome back to Rule of Law Radio, folks.
[47:08.000 --> 47:09.880] Philip in Texas.
[47:09.880 --> 47:20.480] What I just explained to you was, let me set the background to Ken Kuniyuki.
[47:20.480 --> 47:23.160] Somebody told me about a Kuniyuki letter.
[47:23.160 --> 47:32.800] I spent days on the internet trying to find out what is a Kuniyuki letter.
[47:32.800 --> 47:42.040] My searches led me to an attorney in Hawaii named Ken Kuniyuki.
[47:42.040 --> 47:47.000] Here's what happened with Ken Kuniyuki, or actually with his client.
[47:47.000 --> 47:51.280] His client was being sued by a debt collector.
[47:51.280 --> 48:01.040] However, unfortunate for the debt collector, Kuniyuki was representing his client in regard
[48:01.040 --> 48:03.440] to the creditor.
[48:03.440 --> 48:05.840] They were trying to work out a deal.
[48:05.840 --> 48:12.200] Now here comes his third party debt collector with bar cards saying, hey, you owe us now.
[48:12.200 --> 48:17.360] Well wait a minute, wait a minute, who are you?
[48:17.360 --> 48:18.880] Who are you?
[48:18.880 --> 48:26.320] I'm over here trying to work this out with the creditor and now you, Mr. bar card, step
[48:26.320 --> 48:28.680] into the middle of my business here.
[48:28.680 --> 48:34.160] I don't have a contract with you, I have a contract with them.
[48:34.160 --> 48:41.400] So I'm going to accuse you of torrious interference with a private contract.
[48:41.400 --> 48:47.920] Now I tell you what, I will let you into my contract for a price.
[48:47.920 --> 48:56.360] My price is $100,000 and you don't have to directly respond to this, but I will take
[48:56.360 --> 49:02.920] it as a tacit implication that if you file another document in this that you have accepted
[49:02.920 --> 49:12.080] my offer and you would then, upon the time of filing, have 10 days forward to get me
[49:12.080 --> 49:17.840] a check for that $100,000.
[49:17.840 --> 49:29.120] Now if the other party, as in Kuniuki's client's case, files another document, he has accepted
[49:29.120 --> 49:30.120] it now.
[49:30.120 --> 49:35.440] There's some background stuff that you need to know.
[49:35.440 --> 49:46.920] Kuniuki responded or communicated directly with the third party, not through the court.
[49:46.920 --> 49:56.720] This was an ex parte communication, so to speak, from one party to another party not
[49:56.720 --> 50:00.200] involving the court.
[50:00.200 --> 50:03.040] Here's my offer.
[50:03.040 --> 50:08.080] I noticed that you're torriously interfering, but you seem to want in on this.
[50:08.080 --> 50:09.680] I'll let you in on this.
[50:09.680 --> 50:10.680] Here's my offer.
[50:10.680 --> 50:13.760] You pay me $1,000 if you file another document.
[50:13.760 --> 50:16.680] They filed another document.
[50:16.680 --> 50:19.880] That's binding.
[50:19.880 --> 50:27.400] They accepted his offer because that was one of the terms in the offer that by filing another
[50:27.400 --> 50:29.920] document you accept my terms.
[50:29.920 --> 50:31.960] They filed another document.
[50:31.960 --> 50:40.560] Now I don't have any conclusive evidence of this, but my understanding is that in court,
[50:40.560 --> 50:49.880] in oral argument, when Kuniuki sued them for breach of contract, when he didn't receive
[50:49.880 --> 51:08.360] the $100,000 that he sued them for breach of contract, that he won the $100,000 because
[51:08.360 --> 51:15.680] they filed something else, it was when he sued them for breach of contract, that's when
[51:15.680 --> 51:23.360] he brought that communication in as evidence, had it entered into the record of evidence,
[51:23.360 --> 51:25.520] and that's what hung them.
[51:25.520 --> 51:31.560] One of the stipulations was that if you file one more document in court, you owe me $1,000
[51:31.560 --> 51:35.560] payable in 10 days.
[51:35.560 --> 51:37.640] The clock is ticking.
[51:37.640 --> 51:39.600] You're saying $1,000.
[51:39.600 --> 51:44.360] I'm sorry, $100,000.
[51:44.360 --> 51:54.480] I'll let you in for $100,000, $100,000.
[51:54.480 --> 51:56.800] And he won.
[51:56.800 --> 52:00.280] They accepted his offer.
[52:00.280 --> 52:02.080] So you're suggesting I do go folk the bear?
[52:02.080 --> 52:04.760] I'm not suggesting you do anything.
[52:04.760 --> 52:10.680] What I would suggest is that you do some research and that you wrap your mind around this and
[52:10.680 --> 52:13.280] that you act on your own accord.
[52:13.280 --> 52:18.680] But what you claim here is, who are you?
[52:18.680 --> 52:20.240] I don't know you.
[52:20.240 --> 52:22.440] I don't have a contract with you.
[52:22.440 --> 52:27.840] And I did plan on raising just that simple fact, you know, when it came to actually go
[52:27.840 --> 52:31.520] to court, you know, who are you, you know, and raise that.
[52:31.520 --> 52:38.400] And that was actually a part of the answer back was, I don't even know who you are, you
[52:38.400 --> 52:39.680] know, essentially.
[52:39.680 --> 52:42.880] I don't have any records of you owing this debt.
[52:42.880 --> 52:45.120] I did not owe you this debt.
[52:45.120 --> 52:53.080] So you've just identified a third party intervener, not necessarily an intervener, but a third
[52:53.080 --> 52:56.280] party holding a claim.
[52:56.280 --> 53:04.360] And let me suggest subject matter jurisdiction challenge.
[53:04.360 --> 53:12.040] How do you have standing or the legal capacity to invoke the subject matter jurisdiction
[53:12.040 --> 53:13.040] of the court?
[53:13.040 --> 53:14.040] Right.
[53:14.040 --> 53:18.400] If you can't prove it up, the court lacks jurisdiction.
[53:18.400 --> 53:19.920] Right.
[53:19.920 --> 53:26.800] And if I do, you know, go after it, it just do something simple, like just ask for dismissal
[53:26.800 --> 53:29.560] for lack of prosecution or timely prosecutions.
[53:29.560 --> 53:35.400] And they do dismiss it, that's not going to be with prejudice most likely, right?
[53:35.400 --> 53:37.600] It'll probably be without prejudice.
[53:37.600 --> 53:38.600] Right.
[53:38.600 --> 53:43.800] So they just be able to just refile it again and get back into it.
[53:43.800 --> 53:48.920] To get it dismissed with prejudice, you're going to have to have some type of statutory
[53:48.920 --> 53:55.800] claim that would negate their claim completely and negate their claim ab initio, that would
[53:55.800 --> 53:59.200] be back to the creditor.
[53:59.200 --> 54:00.200] That's nearly impossible.
[54:00.200 --> 54:04.120] There's something else you can do.
[54:04.120 --> 54:10.400] They filed an action and they caused you to have to answer, respond to that action.
[54:10.400 --> 54:15.040] Then they failed to prosecute the action in a timely manner.
[54:15.040 --> 54:21.120] So if the court dismisses without prejudice and they file the action a second time, then
[54:21.120 --> 54:30.640] you countersue for the cost and aggravation of the first suit that they filed frivolously
[54:30.640 --> 54:32.400] and failed to prosecute.
[54:32.400 --> 54:34.920] I spent hours researching this for hours.
[54:34.920 --> 54:35.920] Yes, you did.
[54:35.920 --> 54:38.160] And time is money, brother.
[54:38.160 --> 54:39.800] You know, and I, time is money.
[54:39.800 --> 54:42.080] Heck, I've billed Brandy before for my time.
[54:42.080 --> 54:43.080] It's not...
[54:43.080 --> 54:44.080] Okay.
[54:44.080 --> 54:46.760] So what do you value your time at?
[54:46.760 --> 54:48.800] $100 an hour.
[54:48.800 --> 54:49.800] Really?
[54:49.800 --> 54:52.800] Gee, you're cheap.
[54:52.800 --> 54:53.800] What do you think?
[54:53.800 --> 54:54.800] Wait a minute.
[54:54.800 --> 54:57.040] Let's put this in perspective.
[54:57.040 --> 55:00.440] What do you think their attorneys are charging?
[55:00.440 --> 55:06.040] $250, $350, $500 an hour.
[55:06.040 --> 55:07.040] Guess what?
[55:07.040 --> 55:15.880] If you beat an attorney, your time is worth at least what his is.
[55:15.880 --> 55:16.880] At least.
[55:16.880 --> 55:26.560] Now, why I say at least is because you beat him, your time is now more valuable than his.
[55:26.560 --> 55:34.080] So if he's charging $350 an hour, I'm charging twice that because I beat his butt.
[55:34.080 --> 55:38.720] I mean, at which point would the court...
[55:38.720 --> 55:40.600] $700 an hour, baby.
[55:40.600 --> 55:47.280] And I spent all day on this thing for several days.
[55:47.280 --> 55:48.800] I'm a pro se.
[55:48.800 --> 55:58.040] I nearly lost my job because I was spending so much time.
[55:58.040 --> 56:01.640] And my wife was going to divorce me because I couldn't pay for the whole month.
[56:01.640 --> 56:05.600] Yes, my kids hated me.
[56:05.600 --> 56:08.080] My dog won't talk to me anymore.
[56:08.080 --> 56:10.560] I got to pee outside.
[56:10.560 --> 56:11.880] Whatever.
[56:11.880 --> 56:16.240] You have suffered a severe hardship.
[56:16.240 --> 56:17.240] You poor guy.
[56:17.240 --> 56:18.240] Pain in the English.
[56:18.240 --> 56:19.240] I mean, just...
[56:19.240 --> 56:24.240] I'm telling you, to the nth degree, baby.
[56:24.240 --> 56:25.240] Yeah.
[56:25.240 --> 56:39.360] I have a similar question on the same vein, a completely different case.
[56:39.360 --> 56:45.240] Back in December, another debt collector on another debt altogether sued my wife on suit
[56:45.240 --> 56:47.520] in county court.
[56:47.520 --> 56:49.160] She still has yet to be served.
[56:49.160 --> 56:51.120] We're not evading service by any means.
[56:51.120 --> 56:55.400] I don't think they've even paid for service.
[56:55.400 --> 56:56.400] How...
[56:56.400 --> 56:57.400] Wait a minute.
[56:57.400 --> 56:58.400] Wait a minute.
[56:58.400 --> 57:00.200] Keep in mind, you're on a public venue.
[57:00.200 --> 57:03.200] How then did you learn of this filing?
[57:03.200 --> 57:04.200] Using...
[57:04.200 --> 57:11.960] Well, there's all those lawyer trolls out there, but they search the public record.
[57:11.960 --> 57:14.720] They find out about the case before anyone else does.
[57:14.720 --> 57:18.000] They give you a little postcard saying, hey, we'll defend you.
[57:18.000 --> 57:20.120] I just go look at the...
[57:20.120 --> 57:21.120] Okay.
[57:21.120 --> 57:22.120] So...
[57:22.120 --> 57:23.120] Wait a minute.
[57:23.120 --> 57:24.120] Wait a minute.
[57:24.120 --> 57:28.680] You just told me you have evidence.
[57:28.680 --> 57:32.320] Let's deconstruct this.
[57:32.320 --> 57:38.480] Statute says that at the time of filing, you must be also served with a copy of it along
[57:38.480 --> 57:48.680] with a citation by a process server, usually the constable.
[57:48.680 --> 57:54.160] If not a private process server, you must be served properly.
[57:54.160 --> 57:55.280] Okay.
[57:55.280 --> 58:05.000] If you do not receive citation along with a copy of the original complaint, then you
[58:05.000 --> 58:10.120] don't know that you're to be in court at a certain date because that's what the citation
[58:10.120 --> 58:17.760] is going to tell you is to appear here at this date, at this time, at this location.
[58:17.760 --> 58:18.920] Okay.
[58:18.920 --> 58:21.200] He doesn't even know if he's been sued.
[58:21.200 --> 58:22.200] Did you go...
[58:22.200 --> 58:23.200] I know that.
[58:23.200 --> 58:24.200] I know that.
[58:24.200 --> 58:25.200] Hang on.
[58:25.200 --> 58:26.200] Hang on.
[58:26.200 --> 58:33.840] If you have not received service and you are sued and you get a default judgment against
[58:33.840 --> 58:37.080] you, your affirmative defense is lack of service.
[58:37.080 --> 58:40.480] And I hear the music in the background, we've got 12 seconds.

[01:00:48.720 --> 01:00:52.960] In the news, the Washington Times calls it a landmark decision.
[01:00:52.960 --> 01:00:57.600] That follows Thursday's FCC approval of net neutrality, which gives the federal government
[01:00:57.600 --> 01:01:01.240] a major role in oversight of internet traffic.
[01:01:01.240 --> 01:01:08.940] Critics decry the move as a gateway into government oversight of the entire internet.
[01:01:08.940 --> 01:01:14.480] The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, commonly known as DARPA, is close to completing
[01:01:14.480 --> 01:01:17.100] an advanced voice recognition program.
[01:01:17.100 --> 01:01:23.160] The agency is in the third days of the robust automatic transcription of speech RATS program,
[01:01:23.160 --> 01:01:28.320] which is capable of deciphering human voices even when background noise renders the conversation
[01:01:28.320 --> 01:01:32.080] in audible.
[01:01:32.080 --> 01:01:36.160] In honor of the launch of the new and improved SovereignLiving.com, each day this week the
[01:01:36.160 --> 01:01:40.760] Liberty Beat is bringing you a simple survival tip that just might save your life.
[01:01:40.760 --> 01:01:42.880] With today's tip, here's John Bush.
[01:01:42.880 --> 01:01:43.880] Have a bug out plan.
[01:01:43.880 --> 01:01:46.000] You never know when a crisis could occur.
[01:01:46.000 --> 01:01:50.560] Some disasters could be so severe that you and your family need to leave your home immediately.
[01:01:50.560 --> 01:01:54.360] It's important that you have a plan as to where you are going to go should you need
[01:01:54.360 --> 01:01:55.600] to vacate your home.
[01:01:55.600 --> 01:01:59.800] Also, if your family or bug out group members are not in the same place when your crew decides
[01:01:59.800 --> 01:02:03.520] it's time to get the heck out of Dodge, it's important to have a predetermined meeting
[01:02:03.520 --> 01:02:06.480] place so everyone is on the same page and knows where to go.
[01:02:06.480 --> 01:02:10.080] Make sure your plan takes into account what the environment might be like in the disaster
[01:02:10.080 --> 01:02:11.960] or civil unrest scenario.
[01:02:11.960 --> 01:02:13.400] What will major roads be like?
[01:02:13.400 --> 01:02:14.900] Could bridges be down?
[01:02:14.900 --> 01:02:16.680] Could checkpoints be set up?
[01:02:16.680 --> 01:02:20.120] Pre-stock your bug out location with enough supplies to last you and your crew a month
[01:02:20.120 --> 01:02:23.080] or longer should you need to hunker down for the long haul.
[01:02:23.080 --> 01:02:26.440] Finally, keep your bug out plan on a need-to-know basis.
[01:02:26.440 --> 01:02:29.940] You don't want the authorities or your neighbor Bob showing up unexpectedly.
[01:02:29.940 --> 01:02:32.520] The world is a dangerous and unpredictable place.
[01:02:32.520 --> 01:02:35.040] There's no better time than now to get prepared.
[01:02:35.040 --> 01:02:36.520] Your life may depend on it.

[01:04:24.440 --> 01:04:27.480] sued, how do you know she was sued?
[01:04:30.040 --> 01:04:38.360] Uh, well, like I said, we first caught wind of it via a couple postcards and other letters
[01:04:38.360 --> 01:04:43.240] come in the mail saying, hey, we're trolling the public records. It's all that you're being sued.
[01:04:43.880 --> 01:04:49.080] You know, uh, come you come by our representation. We'll send you.
[01:04:49.080 --> 01:04:55.480] Okay. This is, I'm going to, there's a technical legal term for that and it's called
[01:04:56.120 --> 01:05:02.680] horse manure. You don't know anything that I've received the same kind of communications.
[01:05:03.720 --> 01:05:09.240] Right. You're all, you only know that you've been sued if you've been officially noticed that you've
[01:05:09.240 --> 01:05:16.280] been sued. All that stuff is just hearsay nonsense. They might have you confused with somebody else
[01:05:16.280 --> 01:05:21.640] and they obviously have you confused somebody else. Cause if you were sued, you would have been
[01:05:21.640 --> 01:05:28.040] properly served. So you don't have any knowledge that you've been sued. And do they have a timeframe
[01:05:28.040 --> 01:05:37.480] in order to properly serve me? Can they, I think they've got 120 days. They have what? 120 days,
[01:05:37.480 --> 01:05:48.440] I believe. Is that right, Steve? To be, uh, for service? Yeah. Okay. Um,
[01:05:50.040 --> 01:05:56.440] most of your, okay. So like credit card debt, that's probably going to go to your small claims court
[01:05:57.320 --> 01:06:04.360] in Texas. That would be the justice court because the small claims court and justice court
[01:06:04.360 --> 01:06:14.520] jurisdictions run concurrent now. So the JP court is a court of competent jurisdiction for small
[01:06:14.520 --> 01:06:22.200] claims that I believe would be anything under either five to $10,000. I don't quote me on that.
[01:06:22.200 --> 01:06:32.280] Now, if you're saying that this is filed in the county court, is that correct? Yeah, that's correct.
[01:06:32.280 --> 01:06:37.080] Right. Okay. That makes me wondered the one that when you said they'd filed in the county court,
[01:06:37.080 --> 01:06:44.920] I wondered why the county court. No, we're talking about how long does the plaintiff have to serve
[01:06:44.920 --> 01:06:52.200] the defendant. I understand. I understand. And it seems I only found that in one place and that was
[01:06:52.200 --> 01:07:04.680] in rules of civil procedure. Yes. And what, what that goes to is that at the time suit is filed,
[01:07:05.480 --> 01:07:15.880] a copy of the same shall be served upon the defendant. Okay. Served means not noticed by
[01:07:15.880 --> 01:07:25.960] some guy that trolls the internet to find out that you've been sued. That means that they shall
[01:07:25.960 --> 01:07:34.120] hire a process server, usually a constable. If it's a third party debt collector, they will usually
[01:07:34.120 --> 01:07:43.640] use some law enforcement agency as service of process. Service of process is a term of art.
[01:07:43.640 --> 01:07:53.000] That means that the court has received an original complaint by a plaintiff
[01:07:54.520 --> 01:08:04.760] and they have forwarded the same to a process server. Let's say in this case, it is the
[01:08:04.760 --> 01:08:14.840] constable. A constable will bring you a citation. The citation will say, you have been sued.
[01:08:16.360 --> 01:08:23.400] Here's the name of the plaintiff. You're named defendant. You are hereby summoned to appear
[01:08:24.600 --> 01:08:33.400] at the blah, blah court on such and such a date at such and such a time. Here's the address.
[01:08:33.400 --> 01:08:43.080] Be there with bells on the end. Okay. Signed by somebody with, with whatever authority they might
[01:08:43.080 --> 01:08:56.680] have. But if you do not receive that now service in a situation like this is not noticed from some
[01:08:56.680 --> 01:09:05.480] third party that trolls the internet. It's not by email. It's not by carrier pigeon. It's by
[01:09:05.480 --> 01:09:13.240] process server and a process server has to put it in your hand. If you open the door, all he's got
[01:09:13.240 --> 01:09:19.080] to do is drop it on the ground and walk off. You've been served, but it's got to be a face
[01:09:19.080 --> 01:09:25.160] to face thing. He's got to be able to identify that he gave it to the right hands. That's a great
[01:09:25.160 --> 01:09:31.800] answer, Steve, but it's the wrong question. How long did they have from the time you had, you
[01:09:31.800 --> 01:09:39.720] filed the statute says at the same time. No, but there is in the statute. It's not reasonable to
[01:09:39.720 --> 01:09:46.200] say you have to file it at the exact same time because they can't find you. Then they can't
[01:09:46.200 --> 01:09:53.640] serve it, but there is a limitation. And if I remember right, you have 120 days from the time
[01:09:53.640 --> 01:10:03.880] it's filed to the time to serve. Yes, but I don't remember what the remedy was if you didn't get it
[01:10:03.880 --> 01:10:12.680] served in that time. Lack of service. I would expect it would be improper service. No, well,
[01:10:12.680 --> 01:10:19.320] I'd expect that it would be the court's job to dismiss for lack of prosecution.
[01:10:19.320 --> 01:10:27.320] No, no, no, no, no, no, no. You've not. Okay. You've, you've, you've filed a suit with the
[01:10:27.320 --> 01:10:32.440] court. You've not gotten, you've not gotten to prosecution yet. No, they filed a suit with the
[01:10:32.440 --> 01:10:39.320] court, but you haven't served the other party. Right. And the court needs to clean its docket.
[01:10:39.880 --> 01:10:44.040] And if you haven't served the other party, if they don't have a return of service
[01:10:44.040 --> 01:10:49.640] in 120 days, then I would expect they would dismiss, but I don't remember that for certain.
[01:10:50.200 --> 01:10:55.640] I'm trying to find it, but I do remember reading 120 days.
[01:10:57.320 --> 01:11:00.280] I had Ken on, he would know that right off the top of his head.
[01:11:03.160 --> 01:11:07.480] Well, and that's what I'm looking for is, you know, how, how can I get them to dismiss it?
[01:11:07.880 --> 01:11:12.360] And, you know, I've already worked a lot of time on this. I've already created the dockets. I'll
[01:11:12.360 --> 01:11:16.120] create the dockets. I don't have a name to put on there yet, but you know, I've already spent a lot
[01:11:16.120 --> 01:11:20.760] of time researching additionally for this lawsuit. You know, I can tell by the title.
[01:11:22.200 --> 01:11:27.720] Okay. Let's go back to our original questions to you. Have you received service?
[01:11:28.440 --> 01:11:34.520] Nope. No proper service. Have you looked at the docket?
[01:11:34.520 --> 01:11:41.160] I don't know how to pull up docket. Okay. On the internet or anything.
[01:11:42.200 --> 01:11:50.360] Okay. Then, then what, okay. What court does this communication claim that this
[01:11:52.200 --> 01:11:56.680] action is filed in? Do they give you a cause number?
[01:11:57.560 --> 01:12:02.120] Yes. Oh, well, they didn't, no one gave me a cause number. I looked it up.
[01:12:02.120 --> 01:12:06.920] Okay. Okay. Then you've looked at the docket number.
[01:12:08.680 --> 01:12:15.240] Okay. The only thing in there was a, the only thing in there was just a one line item that said
[01:12:15.240 --> 01:12:19.960] the cause, that said there was the original complaint and couldn't even click on it to pull
[01:12:19.960 --> 01:12:25.480] it up and view it. It was just, there was no dates, no nothing just except for whenever the
[01:12:25.480 --> 01:12:32.840] complaint was filed. Okay. Let me explain to you what the docket is. The docket is anything filed
[01:12:32.840 --> 01:12:44.040] in court under that cause number. That's the docket. That includes everything from the original filing
[01:12:44.040 --> 01:12:57.800] to hearing dates to anything the court might issue, to anything that's filed in that case.
[01:12:57.800 --> 01:13:04.520] That is the docket. In, in federal court, the docket, every entry is numbered.
[01:13:04.520 --> 01:13:13.080] You'll have document number one through document number 1,000, however many, whatever.
[01:13:13.880 --> 01:13:19.800] It just depends on how, how, how long the case goes on. But
[01:13:21.320 --> 01:13:28.360] every document that is filed from the moment a case is established to the moment it is closed,
[01:13:28.360 --> 01:13:36.520] that is the docket. So you found something with a cause number that named you as defendant
[01:13:36.520 --> 01:13:57.960] in a certain court, correct? Am I right so far? Philip, did we lose you? Philip dropped off.
[01:13:57.960 --> 01:14:02.920] Ah, we lost Philip. We lost Philip. All right, Philip call, if you can still hear us call back in,
[01:14:02.920 --> 01:14:15.080] we'll try to pick up where we left off. Meanwhile, let's go to Rob and what do you, what is NM?
[01:14:15.080 --> 01:14:23.400] It's New Mexico. New Mexico. How did I miss that? Duh. Hi, Rob in New Mexico.
[01:14:24.360 --> 01:14:29.640] I apologize for my ignorance. Are you there? You're doing great tonight, Steve.
[01:14:29.640 --> 01:14:40.680] Yeah, I've only stumbled over my tongue about half a dozen times. I've misinformed the public
[01:14:42.920 --> 01:14:48.600] once, but I think I got that corrected. That was, and to recap that faux pas,
[01:14:48.600 --> 01:15:02.680] the information that I was giving was pursuant not to the FDCPA, but to the Real Estate Settlement
[01:15:02.680 --> 01:15:11.640] Procedures Act. Anyway, to move on, I digress. I apologize. What say you, sir?
[01:15:11.640 --> 01:15:20.920] First question. I talked to Randy a couple weeks ago regarding my real estate contract
[01:15:22.440 --> 01:15:29.880] where the bank is the seller. What type of real estate contract are we talking about?
[01:15:29.880 --> 01:15:34.600] Are we talking about a special warranty deed? That's a real estate contract. Are we talking about
[01:15:34.600 --> 01:15:43.720] a mortgage? A five-year real estate contract with the seller through an escrow company with
[01:15:43.720 --> 01:15:52.360] a balloon payment at the end of the five years. Okay. Now, Randy had said that because the seller
[01:15:53.800 --> 01:16:01.000] was the bank, that RESPA probably would not apply to the seller. I would agree.
[01:16:01.000 --> 01:16:05.880] Now, my question is where I wanted to get a little bit of clarification.
[01:16:07.000 --> 01:16:14.040] The seller is a husband and wife. The broker is the wife and the son.
[01:16:14.760 --> 01:16:18.840] They own a real estate company. Wait a minute. Is that?
[01:16:18.840 --> 01:16:31.000] Hang on. We're forming a map. Let me write this down. Okay. Party one.
[01:16:31.000 --> 01:16:35.640] It is who? He bought from a private individual.
[01:16:35.640 --> 01:16:43.400] I understand that. Part of the family happened to be real estate agents or brokers.
[01:16:43.400 --> 01:16:52.040] Gotcha. That's going to be irrelevant. Right. Well, we'll get to that after the break.
[01:16:52.040 --> 01:16:57.000] 512-646-1984. You're listening to the Rule of the Law with Randy Kelton,
[01:16:57.000 --> 01:17:03.000] Steve Skidmore. We'll be right back. Chances are you've heard of My Magic Mud,
[01:17:03.000 --> 01:17:07.160] but have you used it? Thousands of people are blown away by the clean and healthy feeling

[01:17:11.880 --> 01:17:15.000] has to say about the product. Hey, everybody. This is Harlan Dietrich,

[01:17:23.640 --> 01:17:27.480] customers that come in and say the same thing. You can pick yours up at Brave New Books.
[01:17:27.480 --> 01:17:32.120] If that wasn't enough, Dr. Griffin Cole, DDS, who's been featured on the Alex Jones show,
[01:17:32.120 --> 01:17:37.160] loves it too. Hi, I'm Dr. Griffin Cole, and I got to tell you, I really love this Magic Mud product.

[01:19:13.400 --> 01:19:30.200] Oh, come on.
[01:19:43.400 --> 01:19:56.600] Welcome back to Rule of Law Radio. This Friday night, the 27th day of February 2015, we were
[01:19:56.600 --> 01:20:07.800] speaking with Rob in New Mexico. Rob. Wow. Okay. You got in. What you've got here is a seller,
[01:20:07.800 --> 01:20:21.320] real estate agent, no broker involved, no bank involved. Okay. By your silence, I take it there's
[01:20:21.320 --> 01:20:31.640] no bank involved. So the seller was the lender. The seller is the lender. The broker is also
[01:20:31.640 --> 01:20:44.520] the lender. Okay. There's a mother and son real estate company. And the mother and the
[01:20:44.520 --> 01:20:53.000] father are the sellers. Okay. We've discussed this over the break and frankly, Rob, you're
[01:20:53.000 --> 01:21:05.080] screwed. Yeah. The fact that the real estate agent and seller are related is irrelevant.
[01:21:06.040 --> 01:21:13.960] Okay. Unless you have a claim against the two of them claiming that they colluded and that the
[01:21:13.960 --> 01:21:24.680] agent breached the agent's future duty. We also have the insurance issue that we
[01:21:24.680 --> 01:21:31.240] talked about before. Did you get the text that sent you? Don't remember it's possible.
[01:21:31.240 --> 01:21:37.800] Don't remember receiving a text from you, no. Well, keep in mind that if this falls under
[01:21:37.800 --> 01:21:46.440] any kind of consumer protection law, that may not be applicable because I don't know of any
[01:21:46.440 --> 01:21:53.560] consumer protection laws that apply to owner finance. And owner finance, that is a strictly
[01:21:53.560 --> 01:22:03.880] private contract and the contract writes the law pursuant to statute. A private contract does not
[01:22:03.880 --> 01:22:12.280] allow somebody to step outside statutory limitations. If it did, then a murder suspect
[01:22:12.280 --> 01:22:19.480] may be able to say, hey, you can't come after me for killing that guy. Sure, I killed him. I shot
[01:22:19.480 --> 01:22:24.520] him five times in the head. I had to make sure he was dead. So I shot him five times in the head,
[01:22:24.520 --> 01:22:29.640] but you can't come after me because I had a private contract with that guy over there.
[01:22:29.640 --> 01:22:41.240] Okay. That would be a breakdown of society. So the contract prevails provided it is within statutory
[01:22:41.240 --> 01:22:51.000] limits. Now, if you find something that is in the contract that does not comport to statutory limits,
[01:22:51.000 --> 01:22:57.080] the first thing you got to look at is your statute of limitations on time to bring a cause of action
[01:22:57.080 --> 01:23:03.400] under that claim. If such a time has passed, you won't have a claim under that cause of action.
[01:23:03.400 --> 01:23:16.280] So you've kind of waived that, but with respect, are we still talking?
[01:23:18.840 --> 01:23:22.040] Yeah, you got with respect and you kind of hung up.
[01:23:22.040 --> 01:23:27.560] Well, yeah, I hung up because it looks like he disappeared.
[01:23:29.080 --> 01:23:33.480] Oh, he must have breathed in too many of those diesel fumes. He was kind of dropping colors.
[01:23:35.720 --> 01:23:41.080] Yeah, that's why I paused. Well, there he is. He's back.
[01:23:41.080 --> 01:23:54.360] Okay. Okay. Yeah. Now my train of thought jump track. Okay. Robin, New Mexico. Sorry,
[01:23:54.360 --> 01:23:57.880] we lost you call. I see you down here. Do we got you back?
[01:23:59.160 --> 01:24:05.080] Yeah. Dropped my signal. I'm sorry. Okay. Okay. Well, in the interim, my train of thought
[01:24:05.080 --> 01:24:15.880] jump track. Okay. But I think I was pretty much at the end of my point.
[01:24:17.960 --> 01:24:24.440] Right. Now we pretty much established that the rest doesn't apply to the seller and I'm okay with
[01:24:24.440 --> 01:24:29.400] that. Randy and I talked about this a couple of weeks ago. You weren't on, I don't think.
[01:24:29.400 --> 01:24:37.720] At closing, I messed up, did not have sufficient hazard insurance. I'm an over-the-road truck
[01:24:37.720 --> 01:24:42.280] driver and I had to go back out on the road, didn't have time to go get insurance, come back,
[01:24:42.280 --> 01:24:50.760] do the closing. So I paid for insurance at closing. The seller agreed to take that money
[01:24:50.760 --> 01:25:02.440] to take that money and get the hazard insurance. And did they? Altered. Well, no. Ah, okay. Pause
[01:25:02.440 --> 01:25:07.640] right there. This has been going on for two weeks. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Don't add anything
[01:25:07.640 --> 01:25:16.760] beyond this point. Was that stipulated in the contract? No, but I have documentation of the
[01:25:16.760 --> 01:25:28.760] payment. Okay. In this case, we have offer and acceptance. Yes. Normally in a real estate contract,
[01:25:28.760 --> 01:25:34.920] there are no verbal contracts, but this one's not verbal. This one had offer and acceptance.
[01:25:34.920 --> 01:25:43.000] Yes, it did evidenced by the receipt for the payment. So if you can show receipt for the
[01:25:43.000 --> 01:25:52.360] payment and you've got a verbal agreement with a witness, I take it? Yep. Okay. With a witness
[01:25:53.240 --> 01:25:58.840] who can be called to the stand to say that, okay, we didn't do this, but we paid for this.
[01:25:58.840 --> 01:26:08.280] And they agreed to do B, but they didn't do B. What do you call failure to do B? Breach a contract.
[01:26:08.280 --> 01:26:20.600] Wait, they agreed to do B and they accepted this value in order to do B. Yes. They've been
[01:26:20.600 --> 01:26:29.720] paid to do B and they failed to do B. So I sue them for not doing B. And they've been collecting
[01:26:29.720 --> 01:26:38.600] escrow funds to do it for almost nine years. Oh no. They've not applied to escrow?
[01:26:40.440 --> 01:26:49.000] I'm sorry? Have they misapplied or not applied to escrow? They have not applied it. They just last
[01:26:49.000 --> 01:27:03.800] week. Oh dear. An offer to refund part of it. It's too late for that. Yeah. Who's picking up
[01:27:03.800 --> 01:27:11.800] the late fees and the fines and the penalties? Well, we have an escrow company involved. Yeah.
[01:27:11.800 --> 01:27:17.240] Okay. Fine. You miss a payment. They're going to charge you extra. Who's paying the extra?
[01:27:17.240 --> 01:27:24.680] Oh yeah. Me. The escrow company. That was not a rhetorical question. I'm asking you,
[01:27:24.680 --> 01:27:34.280] who is being held liable for the extra? Me? You. Yeah. Well. Wrong answer.
[01:27:36.120 --> 01:27:41.960] Wrong answer. If you're paying somebody to take care of that for you and they fail to take care
[01:27:41.960 --> 01:27:52.920] of that for you, you cannot be held liable. Okay. You paid them to take care of the escrow. That
[01:27:52.920 --> 01:27:59.480] means they're paying the taxes, which makes me now wonder, are you current on your taxes?
[01:27:59.480 --> 01:28:04.920] Because it's evidence that somebody fell behind on the insurance part of escrow.
[01:28:04.920 --> 01:28:14.520] Well, that comes up to question number four. Oh boy. They just readjusted my monthly payments.
[01:28:14.520 --> 01:28:22.440] Okay. Did just get insurance this month. So now there is insurance. Oh, wait a minute. Wait a
[01:28:22.440 --> 01:28:39.480] minute. Since they have not yet complied with B supra, is anything from that point forward relevant?
[01:28:40.920 --> 01:28:44.920] No. Thank you. Then why are we talking about this?
[01:28:47.960 --> 01:28:51.240] Well, I just want to let you know the other things they've done besides that.
[01:28:51.240 --> 01:28:56.280] I understand, but you see what I'm seeding here in your mind is argument.
[01:28:58.440 --> 01:29:03.320] All that matters is the initial default. Objection. Irrelevant.
[01:29:09.480 --> 01:29:15.720] That would be the, if I were in court fighting this and we just went through that scenario,
[01:29:15.720 --> 01:29:28.440] objection irrelevant. Fact is they failed to do B. Anything after that failure is irrelevant.
[01:29:31.400 --> 01:29:37.480] You can't move past that failure. This falls under the legal doctrine of
[01:29:37.480 --> 01:29:45.800] that bell's already been rung. Right. And we'll be back after we ring this bell. Please visit

[01:30:46.360 --> 01:30:51.240] are among the five most contaminated vegetables in the store and they sure do soak up a lot of
[01:30:51.240 --> 01:30:56.600] chemicals. First they're drenched in fungicide, planted in insecticide treated soil and then
[01:30:56.600 --> 01:31:02.520] penetrated with systemic bug killers. Their vine is killed off with diesel fuel and herbicides
[01:31:02.520 --> 01:31:07.480] before the potatoes are harvested. And finally they're sprayed with an anti-sprouting chemical
[01:31:07.480 --> 01:31:13.640] that's toxic to the kidneys, spleen, liver and bones. Farm workers need protective clothing and
[01:31:13.640 --> 01:31:18.440] a respirator to work the potato fields. But you shouldn't need all that just to pick up a fork.
[01:31:18.440 --> 01:31:23.960] Choose organic. I'm Dr. Catherine Albrecht. More news and information at CatherineAlbrecht.com.

[01:31:33.960 --> 01:31:39.480] The government says that fire brought it down. However, 1500 architects and engineers concluded
[01:31:39.480 --> 01:31:43.960] it was a controlled demolition. Over 6,000 of my fellow service members have given their lives.

[01:33:25.960 --> 01:33:43.480] Bring us in, Randy. Oh, okay. We are back, Randy. Randy Kelton, Steve Skidmore,
[01:33:43.480 --> 01:33:58.200] and we're talking to Rob in New Mexico and Rob, still haven't got to what your real issue is
[01:33:58.200 --> 01:34:09.080] concerning this particular note. Or are you looking for an issue? I'm looking to, well,
[01:34:09.080 --> 01:34:15.080] I wasn't looking for an issue. Now I am because it is my strong personal belief that they're
[01:34:15.080 --> 01:34:23.720] going to try and get us out of the house. And I want to, at the very least, be prepared to
[01:34:23.720 --> 01:34:32.520] defend myself. I prefer to strike first. Okay. But your biggest hurdle is that this
[01:34:32.520 --> 01:34:40.520] isn't owner finance. That's your biggest hurdle. Because like I said, in owner finance,
[01:34:41.320 --> 01:34:48.520] so long as the contract does not step outside the bounds of statutes, the contract writes the law.
[01:34:49.800 --> 01:34:55.480] Okay. Let me ask, what are the grounds for getting you out of the house?
[01:34:55.480 --> 01:35:03.160] Well, they've already sent us a notice of default on the insurance, because we...
[01:35:03.160 --> 01:35:09.560] Okay. Okay. That's what I'm getting at. Is it for lack of payment of the mortgage?
[01:35:11.240 --> 01:35:19.880] No, but we did just send them a rescission notice. And as of this month, as of five days ago,
[01:35:19.880 --> 01:35:25.160] the mortgage payment went into a bank account instead of going to the escrow company.
[01:35:25.160 --> 01:35:31.320] Okay. Hold on. I don't think rescission applies because that's a consumer protection law.
[01:35:31.320 --> 01:35:42.520] Yeah. But if their only reason for defaulting you on the notes is the insurance,
[01:35:42.520 --> 01:35:49.880] then you should sue the escrow company. Okay.
[01:35:51.880 --> 01:35:56.360] Well, wait a minute. Wait a minute. Who are you making your payments to?
[01:35:57.640 --> 01:36:02.920] To the escrow company. To the escrow company. Okay. Then the escrow company,
[01:36:03.640 --> 01:36:09.720] their responsibility was to disperse the funds that came into them from you.
[01:36:09.720 --> 01:36:17.480] Okay. Another question. Who hired the escrow company? You or the lender?
[01:36:19.960 --> 01:36:23.240] Well, according to the contract, both of us, but it was the lender.
[01:36:24.520 --> 01:36:31.240] Okay. The lender brought the escrow company. Then the escrow company ripped you off, sued them both.
[01:36:31.240 --> 01:36:43.320] Yeah. You claim they brought in their own escrow company and then used the escrow company to
[01:36:44.280 --> 01:36:51.960] force you into default through no fault of your own so that they could then come and steal your
[01:36:51.960 --> 01:37:02.840] equity from the property. That would make the claim nice and ugly. Accusing the escrow company
[01:37:03.720 --> 01:37:11.320] and the seller, since the real estate agent was a family member, now that becomes more important.
[01:37:11.320 --> 01:37:24.600] Yeah, it does. If they all conspired to defraud you in this transaction. The connection of blood
[01:37:24.600 --> 01:37:29.880] increases that likelihood. Sue them for three times the value of the property.
[01:37:31.400 --> 01:37:39.880] Three times the value? Yep. Okay. They're also jacked around with the tax rates now
[01:37:39.880 --> 01:37:47.160] on this new adjusted payment. They have increased the property tax payments into escrow
[01:37:47.160 --> 01:37:57.240] by about 30%. That's more in your favor. Yeah. Never interfere with someone when they're screwing
[01:37:57.240 --> 01:38:03.800] up. Well, never interfere with your opponent when he's screwing up. Yeah, your opponent.
[01:38:03.800 --> 01:38:13.080] Right. Now, this idiot lawyer debt collector that they have sending me these notices and
[01:38:13.080 --> 01:38:18.840] charging me a fee. Okay, hold on, hold on. That's out of context.
[01:38:18.840 --> 01:38:26.040] Yeah. Are we back to the first issue? Well, they sent me the default notice
[01:38:26.040 --> 01:38:31.160] through a lawyer. Well, wait a minute. Wait a minute. Are we going back to the first issue?
[01:38:31.160 --> 01:38:35.400] Is this more on the second issue or are we moving on to a third?
[01:38:35.400 --> 01:38:38.760] No, we're still on the default. He just said we're in the default on the property.
[01:38:39.400 --> 01:38:43.560] Okay. So we're still talking about the property. So sue the lawyer too.
[01:38:44.920 --> 01:38:48.840] But we're moving on to an FDCPA suit against the lawyer.
[01:38:49.720 --> 01:38:58.440] No, no FDCPA suit. You can't do that because FDCPA is not involved. This is not a covered loan.
[01:38:58.440 --> 01:39:05.000] Look, FDCPA only goes to a Fed reauthorized lender. This is not.
[01:39:07.000 --> 01:39:13.160] This is a private person. FDCPA doesn't apply. None of the consumer protection laws apply.
[01:39:13.160 --> 01:39:17.960] This goes to contract. Right. FDCPA is a consumer protection law
[01:39:18.440 --> 01:39:26.360] as is RESPA, as is TILA, as is HOPA, as is, well, maybe not so much,
[01:39:26.360 --> 01:39:32.760] maybe not so much unturned deceptive business practices.
[01:39:33.480 --> 01:39:38.040] That one. Yeah. These others only go to federally regulated lenders.
[01:39:38.040 --> 01:39:41.480] Right. Yeah. Unfair deceptive
[01:39:41.480 --> 01:39:44.120] businesses practice. That goes to anybody. Yeah.
[01:39:44.760 --> 01:39:49.400] Yeah. But say that there are many or certain
[01:39:49.400 --> 01:39:56.520] uh, consumer protection laws that do not apply in the home, in the uh, uh, owner finance.
[01:39:58.040 --> 01:40:01.800] But now you get to land on the lawyer like a ton of bricks.
[01:40:07.240 --> 01:40:13.800] That's evil, Steve. That is evil. You work for a lawyer. What is your boss going to say about that?
[01:40:13.800 --> 01:40:19.240] I work for one of the fortunate good ones. It's the bad ones. I want gone.
[01:40:20.520 --> 01:40:23.000] I might've accidentally filed a bar grievance, sir.
[01:40:24.040 --> 01:40:26.280] Oops. You thought it'd be a shame.
[01:40:26.280 --> 01:40:30.200] Oh dear. What did you, what would ever cause you to do a thing like that?
[01:40:30.760 --> 01:40:33.560] Only one. Really?
[01:40:36.360 --> 01:40:40.840] Okay. Well, it looks like you do have a claim and we do have to move along. We got
[01:40:40.840 --> 01:40:46.600] two more callers and one more segment. Oh dear.
[01:40:46.600 --> 01:40:49.640] Real? Okay. Nevermind. Go ahead.
[01:40:50.680 --> 01:40:54.200] Thank you, Rob. I appreciate you calling in tonight. Call us back next week.
[01:40:56.280 --> 01:40:58.840] Okay. Well, did we talk to Philip?
[01:40:59.800 --> 01:41:04.840] We did. And we'll get back to Philip after we go to Alex in New York. Alex,
[01:41:05.720 --> 01:41:09.960] don't have to ask how the weather was. You're the first porcelain from New York that's called
[01:41:09.960 --> 01:41:16.200] tonight. It's actually starting to warm up. So it's good. I think the worst is gone.
[01:41:17.320 --> 01:41:24.280] Okay. What's on your mind tonight, Alex? Okay. You know, I've been trying to figure,
[01:41:24.280 --> 01:41:31.240] trying to find out all the laws and stuff to apply for this, but I have a home that I wanted to put
[01:41:31.240 --> 01:41:41.960] into a trust. It's my parents' house. Okay. And anyway, two things are happening. Number one is
[01:41:41.960 --> 01:41:47.160] I called up the mortgage company. I read it. They said, you know, you just have to let us know and
[01:41:47.160 --> 01:41:53.080] you can put it in a trust, but you just have to inform us ahead of time. When I informed them,
[01:41:53.080 --> 01:42:01.160] they told us what those rules are. And all of which they said, we can't tell you until you do
[01:42:01.160 --> 01:42:06.840] apply with us. And you send the fee, do all these other things. But on top of that,
[01:42:09.560 --> 01:42:17.080] on top of that, the one of the reasons we wanted to put it into a trust is because my family is
[01:42:17.080 --> 01:42:24.920] using, is getting, what do you call it? It's from the federal government. They're getting
[01:42:24.920 --> 01:42:30.440] healthcare from the federal government. Okay. So when they're getting healthcare from
[01:42:30.440 --> 01:42:33.720] the federal government, they're saying, listen, if you're going to put the house in a trust,
[01:42:34.440 --> 01:42:41.640] you know, there are certain rules that you have to follow in order for the benefits to continue
[01:42:41.640 --> 01:42:51.400] or whatnot for healthcare to continue. So what the issue is here is that the, what do you call it?
[01:42:51.400 --> 01:42:58.040] Well, when I'm reading some of these rules for healthcare to apply, they're saying that it has
[01:42:58.040 --> 01:43:05.400] to be a trust that is, and I'm trying to remember the word right now, and I apologize. I wrote it
[01:43:05.400 --> 01:43:11.000] down. I can't remember what I put it down right now. But the trust is, there's just two types of
[01:43:11.000 --> 01:43:15.960] trust. There's one that's, I can't remember the word. It's non-negotiable and non-negotiable.
[01:43:15.960 --> 01:43:24.920] There's something else. You're talking about a revocable and irrevocable trust? Yes. Right.
[01:43:24.920 --> 01:43:29.640] So the federal government says, okay, it has to be irrevocable. And the bank is saying we can't
[01:43:29.640 --> 01:43:40.120] accept it. The irrevocable has to be revocable. Right. Right. And that's, Alex, that's because
[01:43:40.120 --> 01:43:48.760] when a bank accepts something from an irrevocable trust, they have no remedy. Now, we're fixing to
[01:43:48.760 --> 01:43:56.200] go to break. Stay there. We'll be right back to you. See a couple more callers online. Don't know
[01:43:56.200 --> 01:44:01.480] if we'll get to everybody tonight, but we'll be right back. Do you feel tired when talking
[01:44:01.480 --> 01:44:06.520] about important topics like money and politics? Are you confused by words like the constitution
[01:44:06.520 --> 01:44:11.640] or the federal reserve? What? If so, you may be diagnosed with the deadliest disease known today,
[01:44:11.640 --> 01:44:17.240] stupidity. Hi, my name is Steve Holt. And like millions of other Americans, I was diagnosed
[01:44:17.240 --> 01:44:22.440] with stupidity at an early age. I had no idea that the number one cause of the disease is found in
[01:44:22.440 --> 01:44:27.640] almost every home in America, the television. Unfortunately, that puts most Americans at risk
[01:44:27.640 --> 01:44:32.280] of catching stupidity, but there is hope. The staff at Brave New Books have helped me and
[01:44:32.280 --> 01:44:37.080] thousands of other foxaholics suffering from sports, zombieism recover. And because of Brave

[01:46:25.160 --> 01:46:49.960] The people come down
[01:46:49.960 --> 01:46:59.720] from the hill. Welcome back to Rule of Law Radio, folks. We are in our last segment for the evening.
[01:47:01.160 --> 01:47:08.520] Alex, we've got a couple other callers on the line. Can we get on point with what it is that
[01:47:08.520 --> 01:47:13.720] you're seeking tonight? Okay. There's two things that I'm thinking. Okay. There's two things that
[01:47:13.720 --> 01:47:20.280] I'm seeking. Number one is which trust will probably likely be the best to use? And number
[01:47:20.280 --> 01:47:28.040] two is the bank doesn't really have any type of- Okay. Let's address the first.
[01:47:30.040 --> 01:47:36.440] Hang on. Hang on. Let's address the first. Our two choices so far are revocable and
[01:47:36.440 --> 01:47:48.280] irrevocable. An irrevocable trust is unattractive to a lender because it disposes them of any remedy.
[01:47:49.800 --> 01:47:55.400] So they're not going to want to deal with an irrevocable trust. They may sooner deal with
[01:47:55.400 --> 01:48:03.080] a revocable trust. That would allow them remedy. So let's move on to the second issue.
[01:48:03.080 --> 01:48:10.120] Okay. I'm saying in this case, that would not be the case because you would, I mean,
[01:48:10.120 --> 01:48:15.320] I was basically looking to use a quick claim deed. I mean, a quick claim so that it puts all the
[01:48:15.320 --> 01:48:21.640] legal interests of the equity into the trust. Now, the mortgage is still on my parents,
[01:48:21.640 --> 01:48:28.040] still on the hook, and that's only the interest. And again, it's only the equity is going into the
[01:48:28.040 --> 01:48:34.200] trust. So all to the rest of it, that's still unpaid, doesn't go into the trust. This only has
[01:48:34.200 --> 01:48:40.840] the legal and equity interest that's going into the trust for, and again, but that's just what's
[01:48:40.840 --> 01:48:47.240] the equity that's left. So even if it was irrevocable, it would still want to make a
[01:48:47.240 --> 01:48:51.960] difference because they still have the house they can foreclose on because again, it doesn't have
[01:48:51.960 --> 01:48:58.120] 100% interest or equity. And it's still, you know, the parents will still be on the hook for it.
[01:48:59.400 --> 01:49:07.000] Okay. Hold on, hold on. Why does this, if the parents quit claim to someone else,
[01:49:07.000 --> 01:49:12.040] say to you, how would that be different than to a trust?
[01:49:13.640 --> 01:49:19.800] Well, again, it wouldn't be the difference. What I'm saying though is that only the equity,
[01:49:19.800 --> 01:49:25.320] it would be into there. So in other words, so in other words, if they, if they only owed half the
[01:49:25.320 --> 01:49:31.720] house, let's in other words, if they had half the mortgage and equity, only that part of it will be
[01:49:31.720 --> 01:49:36.920] going into. Okay. Hold on. Wait a minute. I don't know that the bank has anything to say about that.
[01:49:36.920 --> 01:49:50.680] Is there anything in the mortgage that prevents your parents from disposing
[01:49:50.680 --> 01:49:56.520] of their equity in the property? There is nothing there whatsoever.
[01:49:56.520 --> 01:50:03.400] Then don't even talk to the bank. Just write the contract, put the equity into a trust.
[01:50:03.400 --> 01:50:09.240] And if the bank don't like it, let them raise an issue. Well, it says that in the government says,
[01:50:09.240 --> 01:50:13.320] you know, they says that you can put it into a trust, but they got to inform them first.
[01:50:13.320 --> 01:50:17.720] They have to accept it. It says that in the contract,
[01:50:17.720 --> 01:50:24.040] now put it in the trust. Right. It says that's part of the mortgage. So.
[01:50:24.040 --> 01:50:31.640] Okay. You can agree what they're, you may be misinterpreting what, what the contract is saying.
[01:50:31.640 --> 01:50:40.200] Now your parents own this property by warranty deed, but the bank has a claim against this property.
[01:50:40.760 --> 01:50:49.240] The only claim they have is against the property. Any portion of the property over which the bank
[01:50:49.240 --> 01:50:56.520] doesn't have a claim, don't have a say about. So if your parents wanted to transfer the property
[01:50:56.520 --> 01:51:05.240] to you, the bank would have a claim of that. If they wanted to transfer the property itself
[01:51:05.240 --> 01:51:11.640] into a trust, the bank would have something to say about that. But their equity in the property,
[01:51:11.640 --> 01:51:14.920] that's not their business. That's not their business. So then,
[01:51:14.920 --> 01:51:19.480] so then what kind of trust would be best to use? I mean, there's so many different kinds of trust
[01:51:19.480 --> 01:51:26.360] and I'm thinking, okay, what would be best to use it? There's an estate trust and all.
[01:51:26.360 --> 01:51:32.120] Okay. We're the wrong guys to ask. I have no authority on trusts.
[01:51:32.120 --> 01:51:39.480] Yeah. And I do have someone that is an authority on trust, but he's an authority on trust in Texas.
[01:51:40.120 --> 01:51:46.840] You really need a trust attorney in New York. Wholeheartedly agreed.
[01:51:46.840 --> 01:51:54.600] Yeah. Someone who knows the peculiarities of New York law. I would be afraid to say anything about that.
[01:51:56.680 --> 01:52:03.400] Okay. Okay. And then again, the trust then would have to be what,
[01:52:03.400 --> 01:52:07.400] would the trust have to go into the county clerk? Would it have to be recorded?
[01:52:07.400 --> 01:52:11.720] Don't ask your attorney. No, no trust. The trusts are private.
[01:52:11.720 --> 01:52:17.960] That's nobody's business, but yours. Even though it's a statutory trust, it's still private, right?
[01:52:18.920 --> 01:52:25.080] Okay. Now there may, okay, I'm saying the word trust. And when I use the word trust,
[01:52:25.080 --> 01:52:32.360] I'm using it in a common law context. New York may have a definition for that term
[01:52:32.360 --> 01:52:39.080] that's different than the common law term for a trust. So you would have to look at New York law.
[01:52:39.080 --> 01:52:44.600] To make sure they're not using trust as a term of art.
[01:52:46.360 --> 01:52:51.000] Oh, okay. I see what you're saying. What do you mean trust as a term of art? Because again,
[01:52:51.000 --> 01:52:59.480] these rules have to be statutory. Okay. When I say that Alex, you're a person,
[01:53:00.600 --> 01:53:08.440] I'm using person in the common usage of the common language usage, but in law, there's a
[01:53:08.440 --> 01:53:15.640] special definition and that's a term of art. So when I use the word trust, I'm using the
[01:53:15.640 --> 01:53:24.520] common definition of trust. New York may have defined the term trust specifically,
[01:53:24.520 --> 01:53:31.880] and that would make it a term of art. Right. So that's the trick in law. You have to be real
[01:53:31.880 --> 01:53:38.760] careful the words, the meanings of words are, they don't speak English, they speak legalese.
[01:53:39.880 --> 01:53:46.920] And make sure the word you're using in the common tongue is the same, has the same meaning
[01:53:46.920 --> 01:53:52.120] in New York law. Otherwise we could trip ourselves. So this is exactly, because again,
[01:53:52.120 --> 01:53:57.560] the only reason why I called up a few people asking about them, and I'm talking about attorneys,
[01:53:57.560 --> 01:54:03.880] and I asked them, does it need to be recorded? And like anything that has a deed in the deacus
[01:54:03.880 --> 01:54:08.600] transfer has to be recorded. And normally it would, you know, like I said, it would be private,
[01:54:08.600 --> 01:54:13.640] except in this case, you know, it's made to security. Okay. No, this, okay, this would not,
[01:54:13.640 --> 01:54:19.560] I don't even think this would be recordable in the county record because it does not record a
[01:54:19.560 --> 01:54:26.680] claim against real property. Well, what do you call it would have the claim against real property?
[01:54:26.680 --> 01:54:32.200] The bank would. No, the trust, the trust would have the equity. Oh, I see. It's not against real
[01:54:32.200 --> 01:54:37.320] property. It would just be the equity though. Correct. The equity, but the equity would be real
[01:54:37.320 --> 01:54:44.120] property. No, no, no, no. The equity is not real property. No, wait a minute. I think he's right.
[01:54:44.840 --> 01:54:50.840] If they sold the property, then however much equity you have, you would have that claim
[01:54:50.840 --> 01:54:55.560] against the property. Then what are you going to do? You're going to remove the roof and haul it
[01:54:55.560 --> 01:55:02.600] off? Well, no, I'd say if they sold the property. That's what I'm saying. The equity becomes a claim,
[01:55:02.600 --> 01:55:06.280] becomes a lien against the property to the holder of the equity.
[01:55:08.520 --> 01:55:12.200] But that's, that's a portion of the property. The bank no longer has a claim on.
[01:55:15.400 --> 01:55:21.640] So that is it. That's an interesting question. I'm not sure how to answer that. Yeah, me either.
[01:55:21.640 --> 01:55:25.560] That's something I would have to read upon, I guess. But then it's a matter of where, because
[01:55:25.560 --> 01:55:28.520] I'm thinking, okay, then there's the trust through actual lead on it as well.
[01:55:30.600 --> 01:55:35.960] You need to, you need to befriend a New York trust attorney.
[01:55:39.480 --> 01:55:46.040] New York trust. Yeah, these are the kind of things. Read all the New York trust statutes.
[01:55:46.040 --> 01:55:59.400] Right. So, because then I'm thinking must place a lien on it. Okay. And so this is going to go in
[01:55:59.400 --> 01:56:03.720] a few areas of law. You have real estate law, you have contract law, you have trust law.
[01:56:04.760 --> 01:56:08.840] And then you also have to probably have to look about the UCC about putting a lien on the darn
[01:56:08.840 --> 01:56:18.040] thing. Or I guess, is a UCC lien the same thing as a real estate lien? No. The owner has an owner.
[01:56:18.920 --> 01:56:25.160] No. That's why you've got commercial code and property code.
[01:56:26.680 --> 01:56:29.640] Right. But commercial code also deals with real estate, doesn't it?
[01:56:30.360 --> 01:56:35.800] It can, but not necessarily. It deals with the documents related to real estate,
[01:56:35.800 --> 01:56:42.040] not real estate itself. Well, then again, but that's everything. Nothing ever, you know,
[01:56:42.040 --> 01:56:48.600] all rights are intangible. No, you're making some kind of general statement that the whole
[01:56:48.600 --> 01:56:53.400] world can be lumped into. We can't get specific saying that everything can relate to everything.
[01:56:54.040 --> 01:57:03.000] UCC goes to contracts. It's contract law. Right. Okay. So, mortgage is a special case contract.
[01:57:03.000 --> 01:57:10.760] Right. So, only to the degree that it's a contract does the UCC apply. As far as real estate,
[01:57:10.760 --> 01:57:18.200] the UCC is irrelevant. Whether it's real estate or commodities, UCC don't care what it is.
[01:57:18.200 --> 01:57:23.320] It's all relevant. It's just it's all relevant. Right. So, again, I think that's section nine
[01:57:23.320 --> 01:57:29.000] of the UCC. But then at the same exact time, you know, I mean, all rights and property
[01:57:29.000 --> 01:57:37.560] I mean, all rights and property is intangible, isn't it? Okay, careful property. That was
[01:57:37.560 --> 01:57:41.880] I'm talking about real property and I'm okay. I'm not asking you. I'm not understanding what
[01:57:41.880 --> 01:57:48.360] you're asking you. All rights and property are intangible. Rights are intangible. Whoa,
[01:57:48.360 --> 01:57:54.040] wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. What in the world would that have to do
[01:57:54.040 --> 01:58:00.840] with your original question? Well, because the original question has to do with placing a lien.
[01:58:01.560 --> 01:58:06.760] Well, hang on. I don't think we're going to have a chance to answer that. We are out of time.
[01:58:08.600 --> 01:58:14.840] Alex, call back in next week if you would. And that would go for Philip and Marcus as well,
