Casual Articles - Out of Credit Card Debt - Without Filing Bankruptcy
There are two questions I’m often asked: “What makes a great company?” And, “What makes a company a great place to work?”After 23 years, my answer’s still the same. Great people. I’m talking about the ones at the bottom, in the middle, and those at the top. In all departments. Everyone.But it’s up to the leader—the entrepreneur, owner of the business, president or CEO—to make his or her company a great place to work. Creating an organization that gets rave reviews from their employees. Where everyone has a great time at work.And here’s what else you get: A place that attracts and retains the best talent. With higher levels of customer satisfaction and loyalty, increased productivity and profitability. Just great stuff.Creating a great place to work.So what if your company isn’t on FORTUNE magazine’s “100 Best Companies To Work For In America” list? The annual ranking of companies that rate high with employees, like: American Express (37), CDW (34), Genentech (1), Intuit (43). And the 96 others.Not to worry. If you work hard enough, you just might make the list. Maybe next year?“Any company or business can be a great place to work,” according to The Great Place To Work® Institute, Inc.—a San Francisco-based research and management consulting organization.The GPTWI’s approach is based on the major findings of 20 years of research—that trust between managers and employees is the primary defining characteristic of the very best workplaces.At the heart of their definition of a great place to work—a place where employees "trust the people they work for, have pride in what they do, and enjoy the people they work with"—is the idea that a great workplace is measured by the quality of the three, interconnected relationships that exist there:● The relationship between employees and management.● The relationship between employees and their jobs/company.● The relationship between employees and other employees.It all starts with Trust…and goes from there.Trust is the essential ingre
So, we can see that the circulars of the FED banks and the regulations of the Board of Governors of the FED have the power to override statutory law in commercial relations when there is a conflict between that law and the circular or regulation of the FED in a particular section.
That said, what have they said about banks lending money? I think two examples will suffice to prove the point, although many more could be offered.
Probably the most oft-quoted reference on the internet is the Federal Reserve publication, Modern Money Mechanics.
On page 6 it says in rather clear language, “Of course, they (banks) do not really pay out loans from the money they receive as deposits. If they did this no additional money would be created.”
So, the question that we would ask while looking at getting out of credit card debt is if they do not “really” pay out loans from the money that they receive as deposits, where do they get the money to “pay out loans”?
The FED tells us in no uncertain terms in the next sentence. “What they do when they make loans is to accept promissory notes in exchange for credits to the borrower’s transaction accounts.”
So an exchange occurred!!! Why does the credit card agreement and statement present it as a loan, and charge interest? Does the agreement ever mention that an “exchange” was happening?
The FED adds fuel to the argument in their publication, Two Faces of Debt. In this publication on page 19 the FED tells us that a “depositor’s balance… rises when the depository institution extends credit-either by granting a loan to or by buying securities from the depositor.

Search engine optimization or SEO is the key behind success to bring your site at the top of the search results in a search engine. Search Engine Optimization is not as difficult a task as many would have you believe and it is fairly simple to optimize your site if you follow some basic SEO rules.
1. Keywords. Nothing is more important than choosing the correct keywords. They are the terms that are typed by users when searching for something in a search engine and having these on your site is a sure fire way to get your site noticed. These keywords have to be well balanced or the search engine filters out your site as a spam site and it is wise to just have 1-2 keywords on each page. Use these keywords in the title tag of your pages.2. Make sure that all your links are optimized too. Ensure that all your text links use the appropriate keywords. Remove any dangling or dead links. Also JavaScript links can’t be read by search engines so avoid using JavaScript links or dynamic urls that use session ids.3. Use Meta tags within the head tag that have all your keywords organized in a descending order of importance. If your site is location specific then be sure to include this in your Meta tag.4. Avoid overt use of images that not only make your site difficult to load but also search engines cant read through images. If you must use an image for anything be sure to set the alt attribute to the meaning of the image using keywords.
Most people that give advice about how to get out of debt, have absolutely no clue why things are the way they are. None of them have ever looked to the source of the financial debt problem in this country, but they sure like to give advice about the superficial, getting out of credit card debt.
The superficial problem is simply too much debt due to overspending. Overspending is considered wastefulness, excessiveness, lavishness or reckless spending. Now, if you want out of credit card debt, it’s not likely that you bought yourself one too many Ferraris, or mink coats, is it? No!
What are they talking about?
All you might have bought with your credit cards is one television, maybe a stereo, or computer, some furniture, clothes and then food. All of which are necessities in this world. None are extravagances, or wasteful.
I mean, are you supposed to get by without your computer and be left in the stone-ages when it comes to information? I don’t think so.
Over the past 23 years I have done nothing but research money. How it works, who has it, how they got it and where it comes from. What changed my life and is about to change yours too is learning about how money is created. It is by far the most important aspect for anyone to learn who wants to get out of credit card debt.
Before you learn how to get out of credit card debt, I invite you to take a look at a history of money and debt. It will be worth your time to read.
The real problem is not your wastefulness, excessiveness, lavishness or reckless credit card spending. The current gross national debt is $8,368,401,262,636, so everybody wants out of credit card debt, but there is only $753 Billion in currency in the whole U.S. economy, so something doesn't add up, right?
Who funds the credit card and how the money is created. The answer to these questions will show you why you can be out of credit card debt fast and easy.
First in order to get out of credit card debt, we must start with the agreement or “contract” you intended to enter into with the credit card (or loan) issuer. You agreed to “borrow” money from them via the medium of a credit card (or loan check) and pay it back with the agreed upon interest. Thus they provide something of value and you provide something of value, easy enough right? WRONG!!!
Remember we’re dealing with reality not supposition, or speculation.
Out of Credit Card Debt - The Form
The form of the agreement (the credit card agreement) gives the appearance of one thing, the usage of the credit card seems to reinforce that thing, and the monthly receipt of the credit card statement seems to place it all beyond speculation.
As lawyers know however, there is a legal maxim (a self-evident truth) that says: “A THING SIMILAR IS NOT EXACTLY THE SAME.”
The form, the papers and items discussed above i.e. the agreement, the statements etc. are different from the substance of the agreement. The form is the appearance, while the substance is what really occurred.
Out of Credit Card Debt - The Substance
The important thing that many have realized in understanding the substanceis that the bank did not fulfill their end of the “agreement”. People who enter into this agreement with the bank do not receive a loan from the bank regardless of what they may think.
All (FDIC), federally insured banks must follow what are called the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. How do we know this? It is written in the public statutes. It can be found at 12 USC Section 1831n(a)(2)(A). It reads as follows:
12 United States Code, Section 1831n – Accounting objective, standards, and requirements:
(a) In general
(1) Objectives
Accounting principles applicable to reports or statements required to be filed with Federal banking agencies by insured depository institutions should…
(A) result in financial statements and reports of condition that accurately reflect the capital of such institutions;
(B) facilitate effective supervision of the institutions; and
(C) facilitate prompt corrective action to resolve the institutions at the least cost to the insurance funds.
(2) Standards
(A) Uniform accounting principles consistent with GAAP
Subject to the requirement of this chapter and any other provision of Federal law, the accounting principles applicable to reports or statements required to be filed with Federal banking agencies by all insured depository institutions shall be uniform and consistent with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
So, what do we learn from this law, as someone who wants out of credit card debt or any debt for that matter, that the banks have to follow?
1) That there are certain accounting principles that must be followed by (FDIC) insured banks and financial institutions.
2) That certain reports or statements must be filed with federal banking agencies by insured depository institutions.
3) That these reports and or financial statements must accurately reflect the capital of these institutions.
4) That the institution’s accounting principles shall be uniform and consistent with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
We have before us a copy of the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). This edition is a GAAP 2003 edition published by Wiley. It can be ordered new online for $75.00 or used for around $8.00.
Out of Credit Card Debt – Anything Accepted by a Bank for Deposit is Considered Cash
On page 41 under the section Cash and Cash equivalents the reader learns “ANYTHING ACCEPTED BY A BANK FOR DEPOSIT WOULD BE CONSIDERED AS CASH”. This is a crucial statement. Why? Because we challenge the banks based in part upon this clear statement; that they are owed nothing according to their own books!
Let’s look at the simple statement, “Anything accepted by a bank for deposit would be considered as cash”. You could take a Savings Bond to the bank, and they could exchange it for cash, or deposit the amount into your checking account.
Out of Credit Card Debt - Who Funded the Loan
The entire process works like this: Banks accept credit card agreements and promissory notes and deposit them and they are considered as cash to fund your account. So, the original agreement/promissory note that you signed added electronic dollars to the banks books and YOU FUNDED YOUR OWN LOAN.
So if you were approved by a credit card company for a credit card with a $5,000.00 credit limit, the agreement/promissory note is deposited into a transaction account under your name at that credit card company.
So, they never loose a dime even if the consumer maxed out the card and never pays them!!! But, not only do they not risk or loose a cent, they gained a full $5,000.00 because they received this from the original agreement that you signed.
If you never use the card they made $5,000.00 from your promissory note/credit card agreement alone! And, every time you use the credit card they make the exorbitant interest (which is never created) they charge on top of that.
In summary they make $5,000.00 when you are approved, plus all the interest which is usually three to 10 times what you charged!
You may be in disbelief if you've been trying to get out of credit card debt by making payments for years, and now you're reading this.

The Federal Reserve has also been very clear in their circulars that banks do not really lend money.
To understand the significance of this revelation in their official circulars one example that could be cited is a reference in statutory law. For instance the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), which governs all commercial law, {and virtually every state has adopted and codified it in their state statutes} reads in the section on commercial paper which includes promissory notes “Regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and operating circulars of the Federal Reserve Banks supersede any inconsistent provision of this Article to the extent of the inconsistency.” UCC 3-102(c)

“Life is a movie and you’re the star, give it a happy ending.” Joan Rivers the actress and comedienne said that and it really applies to dealing with and coping with change in your organization and life. I learned about this as a Marine sniper in the jungles of Vietnam. I might have found myself there as part of the United States Marine Corp but what I made of the experience was up to me. It is serving me to this day.When you are leading or managing change the people under your charge will have varying reactions to the changes taking place. Few will embrace it out of the blocks, many will struggle. You can help. As popular speaker Larry Winget says, “Shut up, stop whining and get a life!”The very first thing you must help people do, in a kind, yet straightforward way, is to help them go home and look in the mirror. Each of us needs to have a stop kidding yourself day. Teach them to ask, “Where are my present practices taking me?” That means that if I continue to react and behave in the way I am, regarding these changes – where will I be?You see people need to understand that once you launch the ‘change’ it is going to proceed in that direction … the choice is in how they react. Understanding this principle came early to me. My first patrol in Nam as a sniper came with a Force Reconnaissance team in the mountains near Laos. We planned a ten day patrol and my partner and I took just enough c-rations for the ten days, barely. We didn’t want to carry the extra weight.Well, at the end of ten days, for whatever reason, the choppers didn’t come to get us. A tough Recon sergeant, knowing we were out of food, came by and said, “No whining.” It was three days before the choppers came … we didn’t eat for three days. Now that was change, but we lived and we learned and we changed. The good people in your organization will learn too.Understanding this first hand has led me to create the first key to helping people embrace change and that is to decide whether you want to stay with the organization. I created a test I give people in my How to Cope workshop that is designed to make them face the fact that things

As an internet junkie as I am, I came across an interesting article that definitely changed my view of the internet and the whole concept of a website and most importantly the importance of having one. There are some people out there that believe websites are a waste of time and don’t benefit you at all! Interestingly enough these people have a lot to learn.There are many articles out there that advertise phrases such as, "You don't need to have your OWN website in order to make money" or “Websites are TOO hard don’t waste your time”. These phrases are not completely wrong, but aren’t completely right. You can not feel completely comfortable by selling a product and making as much money as you truly should be unless this sense of confidence is secured with having your own website. As we know there are people that do make money this way, but we also know that there are individuals that combine selling products with a website that definitely profit more in the long run.One possible reason that people advertise the idea that websites are not necessary or that they are too hard to play around with is that they truly don’t know how to create one. They don’t have the mechanics to try to learn and much less persuade others to do so. They rather encourage others to give up and convince them that it’s a waste of time. However, creating a website is not a difficult task. It’s like most things you learn for the first time. You follow a simple formula, practice it, and ultimately master it. And in this article it teaches you just that. It teaches you the importance of creating your own website and most importantly teaches you how to maximize the money you make via websites. Once you learn the basics of creating a website, then you are pretty much free to design anything you want and have a blast with it and sell, sell, sell! I hope you take the time to research more into this and ultimately fall in love with this idea, so you can hopefully benefit from this in the future.

Email marketing is one of those buzz phrases, striking a mixture of glee and trepidation all at once in the heart of most business owners and marketing departments.
Email marketing and e-zines have become all the latest excitement, providing an opportunity to reach a large number of clients with little more than the rattle of a keyboard and the click of a mouse. The power of this marketing tool and a successful email campaign need hardly be argued, but there are many issues of etiquette and responsibility to be considered, or your presentation risks simply being labelled as spa and quickly blocked, filtered away or deleted.As you design your email marketing campaign, it is a good idea to keep the following points in mind to make your campaign successful while still operating within the law and the expectations of your customers or potential customers.
• Sign up subscribers
• Allow for an opt-out
• Legitimate contact information
• Carry interesting and useful information, and non-aggressive advertising
• Don’t cut corners to bulk up your list
Let’s take a look at each of these points in detail, stressing the right ways to handle concerns and build your business.SIGN UP SUBSCRIBERS
No matter what type of email marketing campaign you’re planning, be it an e-zine or simply a one-page blurb about a new shop’s grand opening, a mailing list with no-one signed up to it is a pretty poor list. You may be tempted to purchase email lists in bulk, but this is a temptation that should be avoided - it may give you a lot of names, but of those only a fraction are sure to be sufficiently interested in your product to actually open the email and read it. It is much better to sign up people you have met personally, or who have visited your off-line store, if you have one, or your website. At both a these locations you should create a means for customers to sign up for your e-zine or email updates. You’ll be surprised at how many people will do so and you can send your information to them with confidence that they will open and read it. Studies on mailing lists find that about 20% of

So, we can see that the circulars of the FED banks and the regulations of the Board of Governors of the FED have the power to override statutory law in commercial relations when there is a conflict between that law and the circular or regulation of the FED in a particular section.
That said, what have they said about banks lending money? I think two examples will suffice to prove the point, although many more could be offered.
Probably the most oft-quoted reference on the internet is the Federal Reserve publication, Modern Money Mechanics.
On page 6 it says in rather clear language, “Of course, they (banks) do not really pay out loans from the money they receive as deposits. If they did this no additional money would be created.”
So, the question that we would ask while looking at getting out of credit card debt is if they do not “really” pay out loans from the money that they receive as deposits, where do they get the money to “pay out loans”?
The FED tells us in no uncertain terms in the next sentence. “What they do when they make loans is to accept promissory notes in exchange for credits to the borrower’s transaction accounts.”
So an exchange occurred!!! Why does the credit card agreement and statement present it as a loan, and charge interest? Does the agreement ever mention that an “exchange” was happening?
The FED adds fuel to the argument in their publication, Two Faces of Debt. In this publication on page 19 the FED tells us that a “depositor’s balance… rises when the depository institution extends credit-either by granting a loan to or by buying securities from the depositor.

Where does web site traffic come from?It is a question that leaves many new Webmasters scratching their heads in frustration and bewilderment. After all, traffic is the life-blood of any website and if your site isn't getting any then you have a problem. But it need not be that way because there is more than one solution and some are much easier to achieve than others.The biggest secret to getting web site traffic is... wait for it..., backlinks. Yes, I know it's not much of a secret, but it is the type of inbound links and how you go about getting these all-important links that is important. Get it wrong and, at best, you will be wasting your time, at worst, you could actually damage the credibility of your Website. Alarmist I know, but true all the same.How do you damage the credibility of your site? By procuring links from sites that have been given a black mark by search engines for using questionable SEO tactics such as hidden text or keyword spam. Such sites are known as 'bad neighbourhoods' and as the name suggests; should be avoided. In fairness, the search engines know that you have no control over who chooses to link to your site, so don't get paranoid about the idea, but do try to concentrate your efforts on links from good neighbourhoods.So if backlinks are so important to the success of a Website then surely it would be worthwhile spending some cash to achieve the desired results, which begs the question: Is it worth paying for links?The short answer is that it can be. But before you reach for your wallet you should be aware that some paid links are more effective than others, and there are of course plenty of ways of building backlinks for free. So, before spending any cash perhaps we should determine just what a 'quality' inbound link is.A worthwhile, or indeed 'quality', inbound link is one that will add some value to your website. That value could be click-through traffic or page rank that will boost your own site's ranking in the SERPS (Search Engine Results Pages), but preferably; both. If you haven't already done so, then you should install the Google toolbar (you can f

The FED adds fuel to the argument in their publication, Two Faces of Debt. In this publication on page 19 the FED tells us that a “depositor’s balance… rises when the depository institution extends credit-either by granting a loan to or by buying securities from the depositor.
In exchange for the note or security, the lending or investing institution credits the depositors account or gives a check that can be deposited at yet another depository institution. In this case no one else looses a deposit… the money supply is increased. New money has been brought into existence.”
So, here again we see the word “exchange” being associated with the so called loan. Notice that the quote says clearly that a “depositor’s (YOU) balance… rises” when a depository institution extends credit by granting a loan or by buying securities from a depositor (evidence the agreement, promise to pay, or promissory note is deposited). How does that happen according to the circular? “In exchange for the note” the lending institution credits your account etc.
Then we are told something that proves the bank or financial institution really did not lend you their money as they implied or agreed. We are told that as a result of this transaction “no one loses a deposit” (thus no other person who had money deposited at the institution lost any deposit) that “the money supply increased”, and that “new money has been brought into existence”.
By now you should be feeling hope that there really is a way to get out of credit card debt, legally, lawfully, and ethically.
Out of Credit Card Debt – Non Consideration
How was the “new money” brought into existence? By the deposit of your agreement/promissory note. Now this is a crucial point because as any attorney knows, for an agreement or a contract to be valid both parties must provide what’s called “valuable consideration”. In other words each party must provide something of value in return for the thing of value that they receive.
Now we would ask the simple question: What did the bank lend that I should repay? If according to the FED, whose regulations they must follow:
1) the bank did not use others depositor’s money,
2) banks do not really pay out loans from this money,
3) they accept my agreement/promissory note in “exchange” for credits in a transaction (checking) account,
4) and they issue a check or wire transfer from this account.
What did they lend? The wire transfer, credit or check is issued from the deposit of the promissory note. Remember what GAAP says. Anything accepted by the bank as a deposit is considered as cash. This concept one must never forget: the promissory note is an asset. An asset is something that has value. It can be bought and sold.
This explains why the FED says “new money” is brought into existence with the deposit of your promissory note. It is “money” that was not in the bank or financial institution prior to the deposit of the promissory note.
Thus we are told in “Two Faces of Debt” page 19, “Such newly created funds are in addition to funds that all financial institutions provide their operation as intermediaries between savers and users of savings.”
These funds are in “addition” to their other funds. What does addition mean? It means to add. The agreement/promissory note is an increase of the financial institution’s funds! Thus from an economic standpoint you were far from getting a loan, you were making a deposit. And, what does the FED say about that? Again we read from page 19, “Two Faces of Debt” “A DEPOSIT CREATED THROUGH LENDING IS A DEBT THAT HAS TO BE PAID ON DEMAND OF THE DEPOSITOR, just the same as the debt rising from a customer’s deposit of checks or currency in a bank.”
This is very powerful, clear, and concise statement. What can we learn from it?
1) When a bank or financial institution makes a “loan” they incur debt.
2) This debt must be paid on demand of the depositor (of the promissory note).
3) It is the same as the debt the lending institution owes a person who deposits checks or currency or checks in a bank.
So when we deposit our paycheck or cash into the bank, or other financial institution, the institution has to record it as a debt owed to us on their books. So, it looks like you might already be out of credit card debt!
“Two Faces of Debt” page 19 puts it this way: “Again checkable deposits in commercial banks and savings institutions are debt-liabilities of these depository institutions to their depositors” As we have seen the promissory note is a checkable deposit because, “A deposit created through lending is a debt that has to be paid on demand of the depositor, just the same as the debt rising from a customer’s deposit of checks or currency in a bank.”
Out of Credit Card Debt - Contract Law
Next, in order to get out of credit card debt, we have Contract Law which is a very universal law that applies to everyone in the United States and around the globe. Contract law states that when an agreement is made between two parties, you must be given full disclosure of what is about to happen. An agreement is not valid if the other party holds back or doesn’t tell you something pertinent. They cannot mislead you in any way.
So the credit card company never explained to you what we have just explained to you that they were not loaning you anything for that credit card? And, that you were exchanging a promissory note which has a real cash value of $5,000 which was used to fund the supposed loan for $5,000. And, you were made to assume that they were loaning you other people’s money, and that’s not even close to the truth, they never told you the truth, and they blatantly hid the truth from you. Well, according to contract law, that agreement is null and void due to non-disclosure, because you were misinformed.
Now another major fact is that the clerk at the bank altered the original agreement with you by stamping the back of it with Pay to the Order of, which gave the promissory note a specific dollar value in cash. This single action alone constitutes Forgery which is the process of making or adapting objects or documents with the intention to deceive, and Fraud which is the crime or offense of deliberately deceiving another in order to damage them - usually, to obtain property or services from him unjustly.
So, you are already out of credit card debt because you funded your own loan and they committed several crimes in the transaction itself. Not to mention the extortion they committed against you with the continued threats of ruining your credit report. Now, being that they have control of all of our money, we must proceed cautiously when it comes to getting out of credit card debt as far as the cancellation of it is concerned.
Banks know what they have done, and are ready to wipe out the novice debt canceller. It's time for all of America to stand up and get out of credit card debt together. Once and for all.
