To: MYRLANDsMETHODS Date: Thursday, May 27, 2010, 9:54 PM After having three instances of Identity Theft in the past three years which threw our finances into a quagmire, I requested the information in the letter below from all of our creditors to try and get a handle on what was or was not ours. Several of our creditors were quite helpful and we are on good terms with them to this day. However, many of them, especially Bank of America, refused to help us in any way. In fact they began to make things worse almost as if they were the cause of the Identity Thefts and had something to hide. They fought us tooth and nail every step of the way until I just stopped making payments on the two accounts which were in my name alone.   The first thing I noticed was that they had made an entry on my credit report, which I expected, for non payment. The kicker was that now all of a sudden my wife's name had been added to the larger of the two accounts as a co-holder of the account. When we saw this I renewed my efforts many times over to get them to show something with either mine or hers signature's as proof of ownership of the account.   After almost a year of not hearing from them or getting a reply from my requests, they filed a complaint in Court, I suppose hoping I would ignore it and they would win by default. Well I answered the complaint line for line and requested a motion to strike an affidavit from some bank clerk stating he was personally familiar with this account and had the paperwork right in front of him. This shut them up for 5 or six months until I received a very large packet of paperwork containing Request for Documents, Request for Admissions, and Interrogatories all in one package and requiring that I have them back in 20 days. I dashed off a registered letter to the courts and the Lawyer stating I would need 20 days for submission of each request.   After I finished submitting in the 60 days I haven't heard a peep from the lawyers concerning this account. Now I receive the letter from the lawyers that they have a judgement against me for the smaller of the Bank Of America accounts. A judgement which I never had a chance  to fight because it was done behind my back. I just received a notice from the collection attorney stating I had a judgment against me for $8700.00. I had never received a summons or notice of an upcoming court date. I still have not received anything from the courts after a month.   I had received a collection notice from the lawyer stating that they had been hired to collect on this account. I sent them a letter (see below) which they never replied to. They just continued to proceed with collections. I watched my credit report for almost a year and saw them make inquiries and also add unpaid account entries as if they were the creditor and were not receiving payments on account as agreed.   Ultimately I received the Judgment notice out of the blue with them never having answered my requests below or letting me know about a court date coming up where I could fight them.   How do I go about fighting them now in court? I now have found out that they have put a lien on my house and property which caused us to not get a refinance which we would have otherwise have had with no problem.   We have been given the royal shaft and do not know what to do. We can't afford the lawyer we were going to hire with the refinance. Can you give us any advice? Everything we have done so far has been pro se  which I believe means without a Lawyer.   John and Tammy, Richmond, VA   ------------------------------------INITIAL REPLY LETTER MAILED TO LAWYER--------------------------------- CERTIFIED MAIL RECEIPT # 1234 5678 9123 4567   Our Name Our Address Our Address   Lawyer Name                                                                                                 February 03, 2009 Lawyer Address Lawyer Address RE      NOTICE OF ERRONEOUS PRESENTMENT AND DEMAND FOR FULL DISCLOSURE– OUR  NAME, ACCOUNT # 1234 5678 9012 3456 Dear Sir/Madame:   I recently received your presentment regarding the above listed account.  Please regard this letter as a formal Notice and Demand that your presentment is being returned without dishonor as erroneous and incomplete, and demand is hereby made for full disclosure with respect to the above listed account per UCC 3-501(b).   You are hereby noticed that BANK OF AMERICA has failed to provide either adequate and valuable consideration, or full disclosure of the material terms and conditions of the alleged agreement, particularly with respect to the circumstances surrounding the original issuance of the credit involved in this matter and the nature and extent of any finance charges assessed on the above account.    This Notice and Demand should not be perceived as a refusal to pay any valid debt.  However, based upon your conduct and the erroneous and incomplete nature of your presentment, I have questions regarding the validity of the debt you are alleging is due and owing. This letter is not a request for “verification” or “validation”, but a demand for proof of claim, such as may be proven by a certified copy of an original agreement, with my signature, and documentation specifically naming your company as a person entitled to enforce a commercial claim against me. John, Validation and proof of claim are one and the same thing yet you denied that therefore giving them the right to claim you never demanded validation as you are allowed to do under the law provided that you do so within 30 days of your receipt of their initial contact with you. If their first (initial) contact with you was by phone then you should have used my 18 questions to ask debt collectors every time they call . Each time you should have ended the call by demanding that they validate the debt. If their initial contact with you was by letter then you should have demanded validation immediately. Instead you denied that you were asking for validation. And the bit about commercial claim? If the credit cards were issued in your name(s) then it is a consumer transaction and not a commercial transaction   In order to determine the validity of your presentment under UCC 3-501(b), at a minimum I will require certified copies of the following: 1.  Your proof of claim related to the above listed account, 2.  any and all instruments in your possession that bear my signature that you believe support your claim per UCC 3-401(a)(1), 3.  any and all account and general ledger statements or accounting reports related to compliance with Financial Accounting Standards 95 & 140 as to the disputed account, 4.  any and all tax forms issued and filed with respect to the above listed account, including, but not limited to 1099 C & 1099 OID.  John, there is no requirement whatever that they answer any of those questions.   Until such time as you are able to provide the demanded information and resolve my concerns please consider this as a formal dispute regarding all charges, finance charges, penalties and other fees related to the above noted account.  In the event that you are unable or unwilling to properly respond to this notice and demand, please send me a billing statement or other communication indicating a zero balance due on the subject account.  Your failure to do so will constitute a fault per UCC 1-201(b)(17), and may require my filing 1099 A & 1099 OID forms with the Internal Revenue Service as appropriate. No John, not UCC but under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act if the "presentment" was from a 3rd party debt collector. UCC only helps if the transaction involved some type of transaction where a surety or collateral was required. Automobile or real estate purchases. That type of thing.   Please understand that all communications, acts or omissions on your part may be used in litigation regarding your non-compliance with state and federal tax and consumer protection laws.  Your failure to respond to this Notice and Demand within ten (10) days will be construed as a waiver of any and all claims regarding the above-listed account, and will act as a confirmation that no further action may be taken on your part with respect to the subject account.  John, that is about the funniest thing I've heard all day.   Respectfully,     John & Tammy xxxxxxxxxx   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   VIRGINIA: IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE COUNTY OF HENRICO                                                                                                                                                                  ;                                                       FIACARD SERVICES, N.A.

AT LAW NO. 085CL09894844-00                      INTERROGATORIES   REPLY TO PLAINTIFF’S REQUEST FOR INTERROGATORIES   COMES NOW the Defendant, appearing pro se, to reply to Plaintiff’s Request for INTERROGATORIES for the purposes of the pending action only, in writing, within Defendant’s request for extension of  February 19, 2010 allowable time due to the financial difficulties of Defendant in procuring materials to complete request. In addition, Plaintiff requests the completion of three documents; 1.Request for admissions 2.Request for Production of Documents 3.Interrogatories, and states that all three should be answered within 21 days. This would seem an unreasonable request by Plaintiff. Defendant requests a more reasonable time frame to submit all three documents which would be a total of 63 days. Defendant also prays the court for recognition of Defendant’s Disability which further extends the time needed to prepare documents. Defendant John  XXXXXXXXXX is sometimes in a semiconscious state for days at a time due to severe chronic pain and heavy pain medication. Sorry John but they don't care about your pain ans suffereing. If the law says you have to respond within 21 days then you have to respond within 21 days. End of the argument.   All allegations of Plaintiff’s Request for Admissions are denied unless expressly admitted herein.   COMES NOW the Plaintiff, by counsel, and pursuant to Rule 4:8 of the Rules of the Supreme Court of Virginia, propounds the following Interrogatories to the Defendants, to be answered in writing and under oath within twenty-one (21) days of the date hereof. INSTRUCTIONS As used herein, the term "document" shall mean any and all types of recorded information, including, but not limited to, originals, typewritten, photostatic and other copies of correspondence, contracts, agreements, notes, minutes, deeds, documents, telegrams, mailgrams, work papers, memoranda, pleadings, intraoffice memoranda, expense vouchers, expense records, ledgers, books of account, receipt books, reports, invoices, statements, bills, printouts, papers, diaries, personal calendars, messages, books, letters, photographs, pictures, financial records, notebooks, recordings, sound recordings, film and other data compilations from which information can be obtained. As used herein, the term "communication" shall mean any and all written communications between two or more persons, or oral communications, including telephone communications, personal conferences, meetings or other exchanges between two or more persons.

Note: This is a communication from a debt collection. The purpose of this communication is to collect a debt.   The terms "describe" or "identify," when used in reference to a document, shall mean to state the type of document (e.g., letter, memorandum, contract, etc.), its date, author or authors, its present location, including identification of the file or files where it may be found, and the name of the custodian or that individual responsible for the maintenance of such document or file. As used herein, the terms "and" and "or" shall mean and/or. As used herein, the singular of any work or phrase includes the plural, and the plural includes the singular. These Interrogatories are continuing in nature, so as to require you seasonably to file supplementary answers if you obtain further or different information prior to trial. I really like those a lot John. I need about 30 more similar descriptions and clarification. Notice how they snuck in their mini-miranda on you? Didn't see that one coming, did you John?

If answering on behalf of the Defendant corporation, state your full name and present address, office held with the Defendant corporation, Defendant's Federal identification number, and full name and address of the officers and directors of said corporation. ANSWER: Objection: Interrogatory No 1 is objected by the Defendant on grounds that it seeks information that is invasive of the Defendant’s privacy, that it is personal, confidential and private, and is irrelevant to any issue in this action, information not calculated to lead to the discovery of evidence, and would result in the disclosure of information where such disclosure would violate the privacy rights of the Defendant.   Again: Denied.

You need to get real.   INTERROGATORY #3 State the name and address of each witness you may call to testify, either by way of deposition or in person at the trial of this case. State whether each witness is a factual or expert witness.

And at the same time it  is also sad. You didn't respond to any of their interrogatories. You just spouted off the sme dumb response every time. It is a wonder the court didn't sanction you on top of it all. On the other hand, they just ignored your ignorance and filed for a summary judgment and you didn't object to that either. I really feel sorry for you, that you had to learn your lesson the hard way. Now there is nothing you can do but run and hide. Now you need to learn how to protect your assets and fight back that way and you had better do that real fast because the next thing that will happen is that they will demand garnishment proceedings and grab all the money you have in any bank account or any bank account on which your name appears whether it is your money or someone else's. They can come after any assets they can find including vehicles, tools, furniture and household items. You need to learn what they can and cannot do to you under both federal and state laws. You need to go to LAWDOG.COM WEB SITE and learn from what they tell you. I could have helped you if you had found out about me and my methods before all this happened to you. I can help you now but not nearly as well as I could have if you had became one of my students early on. As it is now you have to face the music. I don't face the music, I lead the parade. You could have too but now all you can do is hide and I can teach you how to do that too. But to get help you have to renounce all those silly ideas about UCC, 1099-OID, presentment, dishonor, A4V and all the rest of that nonsense.
