Hi Truther, not sure what your case is about, but assuming it is in regards to a debt you cannot pay... you might be able to ask for proof of the contract... there are *three parts:
(1) Validation of the debt - an actual accounting
(2) Verification of their claim against you - a sworn affidavit or even just a signed invoice (as in, signed by a human being, not just a computer printout)
(3) A copy of the contract binding both parties - which I think means it has to be a document signed by you and the other party involved. Most "contracts" these days involve third parties and (some say) are therefore invalid, especially if they cannot show proof of your actual signature anywhere.
*This info is from Mary Elizabeth Croft's free pdf referenced in this thread (you can find a link above). I began taking notes on it, but haven't yet posted them... just not sure where things are going or if it's worth pursuing.
I have been thinking more about this whole concept... the only problem with any of this is the perceived power "they" have over you. When you imagine trying to survive "outside" their system, it seems impossible.
I think this is the one thing that keeps most people trapped... the threat of wage garnishment. It is very difficult to imagine a way around that. What could you do? ...change jobs every time the order goes into effect? Everything else can easily become "so what" -- big deal if you can't drive a brand new car or go into debt for a huge, empty home in the 'burbs... or borrow money to further entrap yourself. Most people can live quite comfortably without all that.
What is clear to me now is that this whole global economic system needs to come crashing down so we can build something that actually works for the benefit of all, not just the greedy few. The only system I can think of in the interim is pure barter... but that would take time to build, and I'm not sure how much time we have.
I hope you have a lawyer, and if you do, make them EARN it!! Ask lots of questions and make them explain every single detail. Don't go quietly!!! More people need to start asking questions!
Peace
