In addition to defrauding the People by using “Words of Art” to change the meanings of words, the
IRS also uses the Uniform Commercial Code (U.C.C.) as a tool of extortion to steal your substance
under the guise of law. The Legislative History of the Federal Tax Lien Act of 1966, P.L. 89-719,
explains that the entire taxing and monetary systems were placed under the Uniform Commercial
Code. The U.C.C. is the code that regulates all negotiable instruments. It was previously called the
Law Merchant and the Negotiable Instrument Law. The U.C.C. has been grossly abused by the
IRS. It is essential that we understand how the UCC operates in order to have the upper hand in
our dealings with the IRS. The essential elements of the Commercial Law are good, being based
upon:
The foundation of the Uniform Commercial Code (U.C.C.) is Commercial Law. The foundation of
Commercial Law is based upon certain universal, eternally just, valid, moral precepts and truths.
The basis of Commercial Law is the Law of Exodus (i.e. The 10 Commandments) of the Old
Testament and Judaic (Mosaic) Orthodox Hebrew Commercial law. The Laws of Commerce have
remained unchanged for at least six thousand years and form the basis of western civilization, if not
all nations. This law of commerce therefore applies universally throughout the world. Real
Commercial Law is non-judicial and is prior and superior to, the basis of, and cannot be set aside or
overruled by the statutes of any government, legislature, governmental or quasi-governmental
agencies, courts, judges, and law enforcement agencies, which are under an inherent obligation to
uphold said Commercial Law. Commercial Law is a “War of Truth” expressed in the form of an
intellectual weapon called an Affidavit. An Affidavit is merely a written list of facts or truths signed
under penalty of perjury and usually notarized. The person composing and signing an affidavit is
called the “affiant”. It is “survival of the fittest” where the last unrebutted stands triumphant.
In the Laws of Commerce, the eternal and unchanging principle of the law are:
1. A workman is worthy of his hire. Authorities: Exodus 20:15; Lev. 19:13; Matt. 10:10; Luke 10:7; II
Tim. 2:6. Legal maxim: “It is against equity for freemen not to have the free disposal of their own
property.
2. All are equal under the law (God’s Law-Moral and Natural Law). Authorities: Exodus 21:23-25;
Lev. 24:17-21; Deut. 1:17, 19:21; Matt. 22:36-40; Luke 10:17; Col. 3:25. Legal maxims: “No one
is above the law.”; “Commerce, by the law of nations, ought to be common, and not to be
converted into a monopoly and the private gain of a few.”
3. In commerce, truth is sovereign. See Exodus 20:16; Psalm 117:2; John 8:32; II Cor. 13:8. Legal
maxim: “To lie is to go against the mind.” Oriental proverb: “Of all that is good, sublimity is
supreme.”
4. Truth is expressed in the form of an Affidavit. See Lev. 5:4-5; Lev. 6:3-5; Lev. 19:11-13; Num.
30:2; Matt. 5:33; James 5:12.
5. A matter must be expressed to be resolved. See Heb. 4:16; Phil. 4:5; Eph. 6:19-21. Legal
maxim: “He who fails to assert his rights has none.”
6. An unrebutted affidavit stands as truth in commerce. See 1 Pet. 1:25; Heb. 6:13-15. Legal
maxim: “He who does not deny, admits.”
7. An unrebutted affidavit becomes a judgment in commerce. See Heb. 6:16-17. Any proceeding in
court, tribunal, or arbitration forum consists of a contest, or “duel,” of commercial affidavits
wherein the points remaining unrebutted in the end stand as the truth and the matters to which
the judgment of the law is applied.
8. He who leaves the field of battle first (does not respond to Affidavit) loses by default. See Book of
Job; Matt 10:22. Legal maxim: “He who does not repel a wrong when he can occasions it.”
9. Sacrifice is the measure of credibility. One who is not damaged, put at risk, or willing to swear an
oath on his commercial liability for the truth of his statements and legitimacy of his actions has no
basis to assert claims or charges and forfeits all credibility and right to claim authority. See Acts
7, life/death of Stephen. Legal maxim: “He who bears the burden ought also to derive the
benefit.”
10. A lien or claim, under commercial law, can only be satisfied by one of the following actions. See
:
Gen. 2-3; Matt 4; Revelation. Legal maxim: “If the plaintiff does not prove his case , the
defendant is absolved.”
10.1. A rebuttal Affidavit of Truth, supported by evidence, point-by-point.
10.2. Payment.
10.3. Agreement.
10.4. Resolution by a jury according to the rules of common law.
Because truth is sovereign in commerce and everyone is responsible for propagating the truth in all
speaking, writing, and acting, all commercial processes function via affidavit certified and sworn on
each affiants commercial liability as “true, correct, and complete,” attesting under oath re the validity,
relevance, and veracity of all matters stated, and likewise demanded. Usually in written matters,
such as on an IRS Form 1040, 8300, etc., voter registration application, driver’s license application,
notary form for document certification, application for a Treasury Direct Account, and on nearly every
document that those who run the System desire anyone to sign in a commercially binding matter,
signature is required under penalty of perjury “true, correct, and complete.” In a court setting,
however, testimony (oral commercial affidavit) is stated in the judicial equivalent by being sworn to
be “the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help me God.” As well the need for
asserting all matters under solemn oath of personal, commercial, financial, and legal liability for the
validity of each and every statement, participant must provide material evidence, i.e.
ledgering/bookkeeping, substantiating that each fact or entry is true, valid, relevant, and verifiable.
Without said acceptance of liability and facts provided to support one’s assertions, no credibility is
established.
A major shortcoming in Codified Commercial Law that the IRS likes to capitalize on is that an
unrefuted claim is presumed to be true. That is why the citizen MUST always and immediately
respond to any and all erroneous claims made by the IRS. According to Commercial Law, the
rebuttal must be made in 72 hours from the time of presentment. The rebuttal for an erroneous tax
bill can be as simple as, “I don’t owe this and this is not a true bill of commerce.” One of the
necessities of Commercial Law is that all affidavits must be signed and attested to be “true, correct,
and complete.” The IRS cannot and does not attest its “presentments” to individuals. When properly
utilized, the ultimate advantage in Commercial Law goes to the Sovereign who has the final,
unrebuttable truth on his or her side as an affidavit. By understanding the rules that the IRS
operates under, it becomes a simple matter to beat them at their own game! Commercial Law is
nonjudicial. That’s how the IRS takes away Citizen’s property without a day in Court. However,
Patriots are currently using the non-judicial aspect of the Commercial Law to lien the property of
corrupt Government officials who do not uphold their oath and known duty to support the
Constitution.

The U.C.C. doesn’t acknowledge the sovereignty of the people or the Bill of Rights. It only deals with
paper. U.C.C. §1-103.6 is your “recourse” from the U.C.C. into the Common Law and the Bill of
Rights . It states that the Code (U.C.C.) must be in harmony with the Common Law , as follows:
There is a remedy, within the Uniform Commercial Code that you can use to reserve all of your
fundamental and common law rights and remove yourself from the unjust provisions of the U.C.C.
and other codes which are contradictory or not in harmony with your rights and justice. For example,
such reservation retains your Common Law right not to be compelled under a commercial
agreement that you did not knowingly, voluntarily, and intentionally enter into. Further, the common
law is based upon “justice, truth, and reason.” A reservation of your common law rights also takes
you out of the injustice of the absurd “presumptive law” where red is green. Also, by reserving your
Common Law rights, you can compel the prosecutor in any case against you to file a valid “verified
complaint” in which he would need to bring forth a “party injured by your actions”. You are also
reserving all of your inalienable rights guaranteed by the Bill of Rights , such as not being a witness
against yourself, the right to be secure in your person, houses, papers and effects against
unreasonable searches and seizures, the right to a jury, the right to not be held for a capital crime
without a grand jury indictment, etc.
There are three judicially recognized forms of testimony – affidavits, depositions and direct oral
examination. Unless facts of any given case are verified by the testimony of a competent witness, a
judgment is void and can be vacated at any time. The principle has the same application in
administrative as well as judicial forums. In the event there isn’t a competent witness to verify facts
through one of the three recognized forms of testimony, the decision-maker doesn’t have subject
matter jurisdiction. No judgment or ruling other than declaring lack of subject matter jurisdiction can
be made.
There are two essential elements to a case – facts and law. In order to secure a favorable judgment
or ruling, the advocate must be able to prove facts of the case and then must prove application of
law to whatever facts he can prove. Where tax issues are concerned, the taxman must prove
application of taxing and liability statutes to the facts of any given case. In the event he isn’t able to
meet these requirements, he doesn’t have a valid claim.
Through the years we have seen a variety of sworn statements people described as affidavits.
Unfortunately, most break one or both of the cardinal rules that default affidavits. Affidavits are
testimony that set out facts. They cannot state conclusions of law and they cannot be
argumentative. If an instrument does either, it doesn’t qualify as testimony, and regardless of
what it is called, it doesn’t qualify as testimony by affidavit in a court of law.
Due process in the course of the common law, which governs the American system of jurisprudence,
requires facts and law to be established separately. The jury handles the facts of the case and the
judge usually handles the law. Only after both are firmly in place can the trier of fact, which is usually
a jury, determine application of law to whatever facts are proven in the case.
:
Is an IRS examination officer a competent witness who has first-hand knowledge of facts that would
make him qualified to sign an affidavit? No, examination officers rely on documents produced by and
testimony of third parties. In fact, in the context of examination procedural rules published at 26 CFR
§ 601.105, examination officers are supposed to be impartial; they are prohibited from favoring the
government or the taxpayer when making liability decisions. In the event that they receive a protest
from a taxpayer, they must resolve all contested matters of fact and law before proceeding further.
The officer can (1) directly resolve the controversy, (2) request a national office technical advice
memorandum, or (3) refer the case to the appeals office. This basic mandatory procedure is
reiterated in § 4.10.8 of the Internal Revenue Manual. The only other alternative is to withdraw
and/or rescind whatever notice and demand he or she issued. Essential elements for examination
officer consideration are listed in § 4.10.7 of the Internal Revenue Manual.
Affidavits cannot and should not make legal arguments. They should stick to facts and avoid law as
much as possible. When composing affidavits, make either short, positive statements of fact or
negative averments. Place the burden of proof on your opponent. Don’t cit authorities or incorporate
materials by reference unless you prepared the referenced material and it is signed and dated. Do
not make a statement like, “I am not a taxpayer”—that’s an opinion. Instead state, “I am not in
receipt of any document which verifies that I am a taxpayer owing a tax to the treasury”—that’s a
fact!
UCC 1-308:
This “Reservation of Rights” can be exercised by making the following notation above your signature
on contracts and agreements and other documents requiring your signature:
Or
Your greatest protection is provided by reserving your rights in writing, preferably on every document
you sign. However, the U.C.C. does state that it is not a requirement that such reservation of rights
be written but they must be explicit. Explicit means fully and clearly expressed or demonstrated;
leaving nothing implied.
The common debtor Citizen, or someone interested in the rights of American Citizens did not write
the Uniform Commercial Code or its predecessors, the Law Merchant or The Negotiable Instrument
Law. The history of this Code shows that it was originally created by “barbarians” to codify and give
the semblance of legality to “robbery” by the creditors! These documents were written by and for the
benefit of creditors, without any “separation of powers” protections, without due process for the
debtor, and without respect for any equity the debtor may have invested in property that the creditor
may seize XE "ENFORCEMENT:Seize" . Therefore, it is imperative that you always reserve your
rights on all signed documents.
You can view the Uniform Commercial Code yourself on the web at:
http://www.law.cornell.edu/ucc/ucc.table.html
The law library should carry two editions of the U.C.C. compiled by two different publishers. The
version that is used here and is the easiest to understand is the Anderson version. It is written in
plain English.
Older freedom books refer to UCC 1-207 instead of UCC 1-308. UCC 1-207 was repealed in 2004
and is now replaced with UCC section 1-308.
In the tax honesty movement, the most commonplace situation you will have to deal with is the
stubborn, overworked, and incompetent government bureaucrat or agency that either ignores or
refuses to respond to your correspondence relating to nonliability. The Notary Protest method has
been adapted and modified for use in such situations against the IRS and your state taxing
authorities in a revised process we call the “Notary Certificate of Default Method (NCDM)”.
WARNING: We caution that you should be very careful not to mistakenly call this modified
administrative procedure the “Notary Protest Method” because it does not relate to commercial
negotiable instruments and because if you do, you could actually cause the state to pull the license
on the notary you are using. State laws regulating notary publics are very specific and a notary
:
can get in trouble with the state for improperly executing the Notary Protest Method documented in
their statutes. When you also consider that you may attempt to use the notary protest method
against state taxing authorities and these are the same authorities who license notaries, then you
want to keep your notary public’s whistle very clean so they aren’t the object of state retribution for
any reason. Therefore, be very careful in the language you use to describe what you are doing by
not calling it the “notary protest method”.
Several individuals claim a 100% success rate against state taxing authorities and the IRS using the
Notary Certificate of Default Method, and we therefore encourage its use. The reason it works is
because it is the same technique used by the IRS! There are several approaches similar to it, which
are called such names as:
The approach is most effective within the administrative realm, but it is also effective in a litigation
environment as well when properly used following a court judgment. The basis of this approach is
the Bible and common law. Jesus said in the Bible in Matt. 5:25 the following:
“Agree with your adversary quickly, while you are on the way with him, lest
your adversary deliver you to the judge, the judge hand you over to the
officer, and you be thrown into prison.” [Matt. 5:25, Bible, NKJV]
When Jesus said above to agree with your adversary, He didn't necessarily mean to unconditionally
agree with them: you can always conditionally agree with the person you have issues with. When
you make a conditional agreement, then you in effect have honored their request but imposed
conditions to your performance of their request. If they respond by saying that they won’t meet your
conditions, then they have defaulted and dishonored your presentment and you are then legally
entitled in a court of law to a default judgment or summary judgment in your favor and against them.
To further explain how this technique works under the Uniform Commercial Code, if a person
presents a financial claim against you under commercial law, then you have exactly four options for
responding as follows and you must pick one:
The key to making this technique work is to make your counterclaim or the conditions of your
acceptance reasonable and lawful in the opinion of a judge and a jury. The more conditions you
place upon your acceptance, the more difficult it becomes for the claimant to comply and therefore
the less likely it is that he will comply and thereby make it necessary for you to perform in
accordance with his demands. When applying this method to the IRS, all you are wanting is
verification that you owe the debt they say you owe, that they have lawful authority to collect the
alleged debt and institute enforcement actions, and that they have followed all relevant law and
administrative procedure in the process of establishing the assessment, notifying you of it, and
collecting.
Several people and organizations have been using the Notary Certificate of Default Method. Victoria
Joy from San Diego, California is one of them. She held a seminar in 2002 at the American Rights
Litigators (ARL) office (http://www.eddiekahn.com/) on the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) and
Notary Protests. ARL had her do a seminar for them because she claimed to have a 100% success
rate in court using her method of using the UCC and Notary Protests. October 2001 was when she
started the process. Unfortunately, Ms. Joy's processes aren't documented because Ms. Joy had
ARL sign a nondisclosure agreement that limits what they can sell or talk about.
When you boil it all down to its fundamental elements, dealing with the IRS or the government
essentially becomes a game; and in this game whoever dishonors the other person first in commerce
is the one who loses. There are two ways in which you can dishonor someone transacting with you.
You do so by either giving them argument as to why they are wrong or you remain silent over the
period of time that you can't be silent. Ms. Joy's strategy is to let your adversary dishonor you by
getting them to argue with you or ignore you. Once they do that you can then go for an administrative
judgment against them through the process called the Notary Certificate of Default Method.
However, if you dishonor your opponent first then you are the one who loses. Thus, the premise is,
you must respond to your adversary and you must agree with them conditionally at all times.
The Notary Certificate of Default Method has a way of almost forcing the IRS, any government
agency or even a private individual to dishonor you in their interactions with you. This is done
through a sequence of notarized correspondences between you and your opponent, which is akin to
getting an administrative judgment against someone. The person granting the administrative
judgment is the notary who is supervising and monitoring and enforcing your interactions with the
third party that you are corresponding with. They provide legal proof that you sent the conditional
acceptance to the third party and proof that there was no response. Since they are notaries and
notaries are officers of the court, then an officer of the court certifies with a notarized affidavit
provided to you that you sent the conditional acceptance to the claimant and that there was either no
response or a dishonor of your offer. The notary is identified in your correspondence as the proper
person for the claimant to respond to. The notary then awaits the response of the claimant and
when they refuse to respond, then a notarized affidavit from the notary is provided to you indicating
they defaulting and granting an administrative law judgment against the claimant that you can take
:
into a court of law to get a summary or default judgment against them.
The Notary Certificate of Default Method provides a very good way to keep your dealings with the
IRS and your state taxing authorities at the administrative level and prevents them from needing to
escalate to the court level for resolution. Whenever the IRS disagrees with our position on
something we are supposed to be able to get an administrative law judge review, but it never
happens. A NCD method is an administrative process done by a notary that one can use to get a
remedy to a problem administratively. Notaries are officers of the court and as such they have much
power in that position, although most notaries don't realize that.
There are many things that a conditional acceptance must request as a proof of claim from the IRS.
Ms Joy, for instance, asks for something like 70-90 different proofs of claim. By making the proof of
claim required exhaustive, you overwhelm the IRS by requiring them to produce so many things to
meet the burden of proof that there is just no way they will ever respond. In that way, you can
practically force the IRS or others to dishonor your conditional acceptance in their transaction or
commerce with you.
Where does the NCD method come into play as far as IRS agents are concerned? Well, anytime an
IRS agent contacts you it's always for one of two reasons. They will either be asking for
performance if they are an examination agent or asking for money if they are a collection agent. So,
when they contact you that means they have made a presumption that they have a claim on you.
When you conditionally accept the agent's claim upon proof of claim that it is legitimate, they must
either come up with the proof or dishonor it. If they dishonor it, then you send them a notarized
“Notice of Default and Opportunity to Cure” letter notifying them that they have defaulted and thereby
agreed to your position and you state in the notice that you are giving them one more opportunity to
cure the default before the judgment is final and is not appealable. If they refuse to respond to the
Notice of Default, then you send them a notarized certificate of default via certified mail. You retain
the certified mail receipts for all correspondence you send, and the notary signature on the
documents you send allow the documents to be directly admissible as evidence in a court of law.
What about past issues with the IRS? Let's say you argued with the IRS in the past where you
already went against the biblical principle in Matt. 5:25 of not arguing with your adversary. Is there
any way to go back and revisit that past issue using her method? Yes, it is possible. Nothing is ever
closed, because you can always correct your mistake by doing a conditional acceptance. The way
you reopen the past issue is by asking the IRS for an accounting of the particular tax year in
question. They will give you what they say you owe and at that point you accept it conditionally and
go through the notarial protest process.
At the UCC seminar described above, Ms. Joy showed a recent example of how she did a NCD on
Budget Rent A Car. She rented a car from that company for a price that was supposed to be only
$45, but they charged her something like $180 instead. Budget wouldn't refund the overage even
when she showed them that what she signed said the price would only be $45. So, she went
through the NCD method just like she would with the IRS. She accepted the $180 claim they made
against her upon proof of claim that she did not sign that document that says it would only cost her
$45. There was more to it than that, but that is the gist of what she did. Anyway, now that she has
her certificate of default in place, she is currently asking Budget Rent A Car to allow her to put them
on a UCC-1 lien. Of course, the company is not going to agree to that. But after she asks them that
then she can go ahead and do it anyway since they will have lost at the administrative level. The
amount that she is going to put on the lien will be much higher than the amount Budget charged her.
Evidently, she will be including damages as part of her UCC-1 financing statement. Once she gets
:
that UCC-1 filed, Budget's credit rating will go south. The fact that notaries can do an administrative
adjudication like that represents a lot of power. That's why this process is kept low-key in the notary
community.
Anytime you deal with the IRS it's entirely a commercial process because 27 CFR § 72.11 says
violations of all revenue laws are commercial crimes. That means any interaction that you have with
the IRS is a commercial process since it involves revenue laws. Therefore, the laws of the Uniform
Commercial Code apply there. That's why the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) applies
when the IRS tries to come collect from you; it's all commercial. Thus, the Notary Certificate of
Default Method is expected to be quite effective because it is so similar to the notary protest method
that state government authorize in state statutes.
We encourage everyone to search on the internet for notarial protest and see how many times it
comes up around the world. Here's another example of how powerful the process is in commerce.
When searching the internet we found a court case where someone put a UCC lien on this ship after
it docked in a harbor, which froze it from leaving. The captain went through the process of doing a
notarial protest and won by default. That administrative judgment allowed him to take back his ship
and sail out of the harbor free and clear without the hassle and expense of going to court. This just
goes to show how effective the notarial protest can be and why we should be more familiar with it.
When it comes to tax matters we are supposed to have that kind of remedy with an administrative
law judge review, but nobody can ever get it. American Rights Litigators, for instance, has often tried
to get such a review for their clients, but the IRS would never give them one. It says in 26 U.S.C.
§7429 of the Internal Revenue Code that we can get an administrative law judge review, but the IRS
will just ignore you if you request one. They never say, yes, but they never say, no, either. The IRS
did threaten to give Eddie Kahn an administrative law judge review once. He told them he would
love to have it, but evidently when they saw how enthusiastic he was about it they never gave it to
him. This occurred years ago when the IRS tried to say that the attorney American Rights Litigators
(ARL) had at the time couldn't represent ARL's clients regarding tax matters. They based their
argument on the fact that ARL's attorney wasn't filing any tax returns. The IRS tried to claim that he
couldn't represent anyone who wasn't filing tax returns if he hadn't been filing his. So, Eddie and the
former ARL attorney flew to Washington, D.C. where they met with a high ranking IRS person and
his attorney. The IRS attorney threatened them repeatedly with an administrative law judge review
for an official ruling on the matter. But every time he did Eddie and the former ARL attorney
welcomed it. Well, after that meeting the IRS never redacted the former ARL attorney's CAF
number. Also, ever since then they have never again tried to claim that ARL's attorney or CPA
couldn't represent anyone due to being a non-filer.
If you want to do a Notary Certificate of Default yourself, you will have difficulty finding a notary who
knows how to do the process. According to Victoria Joy, there are only four types of notaries that
know how to do notary protests. They involve certain notaries who work with debt collection
companies, banks, real estate companies. These people do notarial protests all the time, yet the
process is kept hidden from most other notaries. If they know how to do notarial protests, then you
can have them apply the same process towards administrative dealings with the IRS, but just be
sure you don’t call it a “notarial protest” so you don’t get your notary in trouble or cause him or her to
lose their license.
When ARL began researching this NCD method, Eddie had one of their notaries call up the
American Notary Association. He had her ask about how to properly do the notary protest process,
but the association tried to tell her that notaries couldn't do anything like that. She pointed out the
:
reference to notarial protests in the glossary of the handbook for notaries, but they just said that was
for banks and nothing more. It quickly became evident that those people were not going to divulge
any information. Yet, when you go to the Florida statutes it says that a notarial protest is one of the
duties of a notary. ARL's notary called before she looked at the Florida statutes though, which is why
she didn't mention anything about that.
Also, Ms. Joy talked in her seminar about how she found a notary in California to work with and
educated her on how to do the Notary Certificates of Default. She had her notary call up their notary
association in California to ask about how to do the notary protest procedure. The guy whom she
talked to there told her she couldn't do that. She mentioned to him that she had already found it in
the California statutes (see Commercial Code section §3505 and Commercial Code section 1207),
but he just repeated that she couldn't do it. So, Ms. Joy had her notary call the California Notary
Association the next day and try a different approach. This time she told the man that she had a
client who was a non U.S. Citizen who needed to do a notarial protest. When she mentioned non
U.S. Citizen he said, "Well, you didn't tell me that yesterday." Then he told her about a place to go
where they teach notaries how to do the notarial protest procedure. This tells us that there is an
effort to keep just about everyone in our country ignorant of this process.
If you would like to learn more about the UCC and how to use the Notary Certificate of Default
Method, refer to a book called: Cracking the Code, Third Edition.
In crafting your conditions for proof of the government’s claim, try to follow the below guidelines:
1. The conditions should focus on demanding a proof and evidence of their claim that you are
liable. This keeps the burden of proof on your opponent instead of you.
2. Avoid arguing the law and stick to the evidence and the facts. Remember that judges rule on
the law and juries rule on the facts in any court trial. You want to keep the judge out of the
dispute process and keep the jury in control of any legal proceeding that might result from the
dispute. Below are some examples that show arguments about the law and a way to translate
these arguments into arguments about fact:
If you are looking for good questions or facts to put into the affidavit you send the IRS as part of your
notary protest, two good places to start on our website are, in decreasing order of value:
Here is a simple explanation of how a Notary Certificate of Default Method works. Let's say the
California Franchise Tax Board (FTB) sent you a letter saying they determined that you owe $50,000.
You send back a notarized affidavit with a proof of service saying that you conditionally accept their
offer to pay that amount upon proof of claim. Then you give them a list of what you want to see as
proof, which shows that you owed the money to begin with. By conditionally accepting their offer,
you make it to where there is no controversy between the two of you. Below is a response that one
:
of our readers sent to the California Franchise Tax Board as a conditional acceptance that
successfully got him out of over $100,000 in income tax liabilities! They avoided him like the plague
after they got the below conditional acceptance:
Upon receiving the first letter from FTB it asked for a 2000 California Tax
return or provide an explanation why I was not required to submit one. I
sent an Affidavit of Material Facts to explain why I was not required to
submit a California Tax Return to FTB. FTB wrote back via a letter saying
they were ignoring my Affidavit and demanded I file a California Tax
Return. On 00/00/2002 FTB mailed a “NOTICE OF PROPOSED
ASSESSMENT” to me. I am returning your original “NOTICE OF
PROPOSED ASSESSMENT” as I do not want to retain FTB property
unless Gerald Goldberg as agent for the FTB meets the conditions within
this conditional acceptance offer.
In a further effort to settle this matter in the most efficient manner possible,
I also accept your “NOTICE OF PROPOSED ASSESSMENT” and agree to
send Gerald Goldberg agent for the FTB full payment within fifteen (15)
days after Gerald Goldberg of the FTB meets all of the following eight (8)

Now, when someone sends the FTB a proof of claim like that, the agency usually will not respond to
it. Anytime the FTB does respond though they will just send their "5th Amendment letter" that isn’t
signed so the person sending it can’t be held liable. That is where they say they don't have to
provide you anything and they aren't going to talk to you anymore. They say that the courts have
ruled this or that and the 16th Amendment allows them to collect taxes, etc. Well, when they refuse
to answer or give evasive responses like this that is what is called a dishonor. Once they dishonor
you no matter whether it's done through silence or done through anonymous argument, either way
it's a dishonor. The Uniform Commercial Code says that when there is a dishonor, they are in default
and you can get a judgment against them in court if you have evidence of the default..
At that point, you can go to a notary and show them that you gave the FTB ten days to take your
acceptance of their proposal, yet they dishonored it. You tell the notary that you want them to contact
the FTB for you in their capacity as a notary and ask the FTB to accept your offer. So, the notary
takes it upon themselves as an officer of the court to contact the FTB. They notify the FTB that you
came before them and signed a statement declaring that they dishonored your conditional offer.
Then the notary asks the FTB to send their acceptance of your offer back to them. When the FTB
doesn't do it within the time allowed the notary contacts them a second time. Then when the FTB
dishonors the notary again with their silence the notary gives you a notarized certificate of default.
Once you have such a certificate, it is equivalent to an administrative judgment.
You can then go to the FTB and tell them they've dishonored; therefore, they've lost. Then you ask
for their permission to put them on a UCC-1 financing statement where you will now get your
judgment from them. The FTB will usually ignore you here too, but it doesn't matter whether they
:
give you permission or not. You can put the FTB on the UCC-1 financing statement anyway
because you have an administrative judgment via a notarized certificate of default. With a notarized
certificate of default in hand you can hit them for damages with a UCC-1 lien.
For reference, a proof of claim is any document signed under penalties of perjury or that is notarized
which can be presented in a court of law as evidence of either acceptance or default. Signing under
penalties of perjury means they swear that their presentment is true, correct and complete, yet the
FTB never does that. The only time the FTB will ever sign a proof of claim is in bankruptcy court.
However, ARL proved that anyone who signs a bankruptcy claim has no firsthand knowledge that
everything put down on such a claim is true and correct. The FTB always claims to have a secured
claim on a bankruptcy proof of claim; but all you have to do is challenge them to produce the UCC-1
financing statement or the ORIGINAL NOTE under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA),
which secures that claim. Guess what folks, they don't have it! They operate entirely on hearsay
evidence that is inadmissible in court, and neither can the DOJ or FTB attorney act as a witness
against you in court, as you will find out later in section 3.5.5.1.
