"There is a distinction between a debt discharged and one paid. <u>When discharged the debt still exists, though divested of its character as a legal obligation</u>..." Stanek v. White, 215 NWR 781 (1927).
Further,
There is a distinction between a debt discharged and one paid. When discharged the debt still exists though divested of its character as a legal obligation during the operation of the discharge. Something of <u>the original vitality of the debt continues to exist, which may be transferred even though the transferee takes it subject to the disability incident to the discharge</u>. The fact that it carries something which
may be a consideration for a <u>new promise to pay </u>so as <u>to make an otherwise worthless promise a legal obligation</u> makes it the subject of transfer by assignment. See: Badger v. Gilmore, 33 N.H. 361, 66 Am. D. 729; William R. Stank v. M.W. White, 172 Minn. Reports 390.
“<u>Money has value only by law</u> and not by nature so that a conviction of those who use it is sufficient to deprive it of its value and of its purchasing power.” Incitti v. Ferrante, 175 A 908.
So - if your debt has been "charged-off", and you are being pursued by any other "marauder of justice", it seems that if you refuse to comply with their request to obligate you again to a "debt" which currently has been "divested of its character as a legal obligation", then there has been no assignment of anything other than POTENTIAL. That debt has already been nullified in terms of anyone's legal responsibility to it! Correct?
If you disagree in writing to allowing the "Transferee" to creating a novation with you, whether with your permission, or via force/fraud before a court, it seems to me that there can not possibly be a legal obligation for you to pay - until the moment you agree again to do so.
Thoughts?
And how about this for the mix: ALL debt in 'Fed Land' is "Money", and all "Money" is debt. So - the payment of a debt, in this case, is merely discharging it. So when does anything ever really get "paid"? And how is this distinct from "discharge"?
This is an abstract twisting, but when exactly does a debt get discharged by another debt, when the means by which it was "satisfied" is simply another form of discharge?
Giving of a note does not constitute payment. See: Echart v. Commissioners C.C.A., 42 F.2d 158, 283 US 140; Noland v. Maryland Casualty Co., D.C. Md. 38 F.Supp. 497. (See #70)
