Learning the Disturbing Facts about Credit Card Debt

When Iodine received my first credit card in the mail at age 18 I was ecstatic, I said to myself, wow now I’m getting somewhere in life. This credit card company believes I’m worthy of 500 dollars in credit. So I made my monthly payments like a good consumer and watched my credit bounds grow. I thought male child this company must believe alot of me to take such as a risk. I however had no thought how the money came into existence. All Iodine cared about was that as long as when I slapped the plastic down I was approved. Like most immature people I had no thought what an interest rate even was much less how it effected my monthly payments. I was like a batch of children in America today, my parents were not a large portion of my early grownup life and so I really didn’t have got much counsel when it came to making financial decisions. The lessons I learned were hard and I go on to learn as each twenty-four hours passes.

After all what is credit? When you get that “Pre-Approved” application in the mail, makes that average that the credit card companies have got been watching you personally and are rewarding you for having so called “good credit,” Of course of study not, they are looking to make money just like any business, and they are making a batch of it.

Today there are thousands of people who are losing their homes, farms, and businesses because they do not understand the significance of credit. This article will explicate the difference between money and credit and will demo you how the banks make "credit" and make-believe that it is "money".

There have been a pecuniary argument in our country for some clip now and that argument focuses on two cardinal issues. First that lone gold and Ag are Constitutional money Article I Section 10 clause 1U.S. Fundamental Law and second that the dollar is defined by the Mint Act of 1792, and that a Federal Soldier Modesty Note is not a dollar. There is a 3rd country that is not well understood, but which is very important. It is the most of import issue of all because 97% of our money supply today dwells of bank credit whereas Federal Soldier Modesty Notes and coins dwell of less than 3%.Today every bank loan in the United States can be legally voided because it is based on credit instead of money!

YEAH RIGHT, you say. Well Iodine have got got explored that accusation for over a twelvemonth now and here is what I have found. One must inquire the question, “What is Credit?” after all we throw the word around so freely today, but how many of us truly understand its meaning. Credit is the antonym of money. Money is legal legal tender for the payment of debts as defined by United States Congress in 31 U.S.C.A. Second 392. This subdivision basically depicts all coins and currency issued by the U.S. authorities as legal legal tender for all debts, public and private. Many volition reason that Federal Soldier Modesty Notes are Unconstitutional, but for this article it will be assumed that coins and paper currency both stand for money.

Now let’s presume you are going to do a purchase state for an automobile or a life room suite. You might state that your credit is good or that your promise to pay is sufficient. In other words the marketer trusts that you will pay the money back. At that point you subscribe a loan understanding in which you pledge the auto as collateral for the security agreement. In other words the auto dealer have accepted your credit, your promise to pay, in exchange for the auto.

Ok here is where it begins to get interesting. Now see a bank loan. When you travel to the bank for a loan, based on your promise to pay and your good credit the bank gives you the loan right? The bank have accepted your promise to pay the money back, but inquire yourself this question. What exactly did the bank loan you? Well, the bank will invariably give you a check which is also a "promise to pay" you so many dollars, with interest. What you and the bank have got is a isobilateral contract when you exchange "promises to pay". In other words you have got accepted each others credit, and yet no money have exchanged hands. This is an of import point; no “money” have exchanged hands.

Now what make you make with the check? Probably one of two things: either you sedimentation it in your checking account or you convey it to your car dealer. Either way, when the check gets deposited it travels directly to the banks clerking section and the numbers from the check are entered into your account. Now the bank will state that its sedimentations have got increased, still no “money” have exchanged hands.

These clerking entries are called “demand deposits” significance that the client can walk into the bank at any point in clip and demand the sedimentation from the vault. In accounting terms, the money is placed into the banks liabilities column because this is money that the bank owes the people.

Now what make you believe the bank have for assets? Well it have a small amount of burial vault cash which the Federal Soldier Government necessitates them to maintain on manus and a whole batch of IOU’s for those full loan understandings people mark their name calling to. The bank is gambling that not every client will come up into the bank at the same clip and demand their money in cash and it’s A pretty good gamble. All those promises to pay are on paper so also are all of the bank assets.

All this amounts to is a transfer of numbers or book entries from one checking account to another. The same thing haps when you compose a check. Numbers called "dollars" are transferred from your checking account to individual else’s. When a credit card is used, bank credit or book entries are created and transferred to another person at the same time.

The adjacent inquiry is, if it so easy for a bank to make “credit”, which is used like money, how then is this “credit”, destroyed? The “credit” is destroyed when the rule of the loan is repaid. However, the interest collected by the bank on the "credit" it loaned, is transferred, to another account for statistical distribution to its stockholders.

What haps is that because 97% of the nation’s money supply dwells of credit which is all created by private corps (banks), and because interest is charged on every dollar of “credit” used, debts are constantly created for which no money or credit bes to refund these debts. Hence our money system can be best described as a “debt usury” money system, for every dollar of credit which come ups into existence, a debt is created to the banks and interest (usury) is charged.

Under our present money system, the Federal Soldier authorities will never be able to balance its budget and the national debt will go on to turn exponentially. However, every bank loan made in the United States today is illegal, since all bank loans are based on “credit” instead of “money”! The words “ultra vires” are of import words because they intend that “a contract made by a corporation beyond the range of its corporate powerfulnesses is unlawful.”(see Black's Law Dictionary)

The tribunals have got consistently ruled that banks cannot impart their credit, but can only impart their money and that all loans of credit are “ultra vires.” Since no bank charter gives them permission to impart their “credit”, and United States Congress never gave the banks permission to make money, all such as loans of credit are ultra vires or unlawful. The bank, by loaning credit, have unjustly enriched itself. It pays no interest for the usage of its credit but charges its clients the same amount of interest as if it loaned out its money.

These patterns are a high degree word form of loansharking. It is misrepresentation and fraud. The aggregation of interest on credit is in misdemeanor of all vigorish laws. After all, the bank is collecting interest on money which doesn't exist. There are many programs today such as as a peculiar programme which I represent, Debt Solutions International (DSI.) There are over two trillion dollars worth of illegal bank loans out there waiting to be challenged. A programme such as as DSI’s is a much better option to bankruptcy since you get to maintain your property and nothingness the bank loans at the same time.

Anyone can walk off his property and allow the bank have got it, but to make so is to reward them for their fraudulent acts. It would be much better to litigate the bank on fraud and vigorish charges and inquire that all contracts which you signed on the twenty-four hours you took out the loan be declared “ultra vires”, nothing and void. That includes works of trust, mortgages, short letters and security agreements, but particularly credit cards.

For a long time, nationalists have got got been authorship to their Congressmen asking them to give us an honorable money system without extortionate interest rates and they have ignored us. I am not an expatriate, I still believe in my country, but our current fractional modesty banking system must be eliminated. If we make not make something our children will pay the terms of inheriting our debts. I believe with the powerfulness of the internet, consumer instruction volition go so powerful that the banks and the “powers that be” will ran into their match. People will see that programs such as as those offered by DSI and others are nil to be afraid of and will go mainstream.
