24. Sovereign citizen debt law is quite scary

Mon Apr 23, 2018, 11:30 AM

Apr 2018

SCs believe that if they offer a payment and it is rejected, the debt is cancelled.

So! You have a $1 million house you would like to sell. A seemingly-nice couple makes an offer that appears reasonable, and you accept. They are to pay you $8000 per month for the next 15 years.

On the first of next month, you receive a letter from them. It has a $1 postage stamp stuck to it, and reads: “This is offered in full payment of debt. Rejection of this tender offer will result in immediate cancellation of the debt.”

The SC YouTube channels are full of people telling you to do this very thing, and the comments are full of their shills claiming they got very expensive items for free by doing this very thing.

This is the sick part: not all states consider this the criminal matter that it is. They call it civil and you have to go through eviction proceedings to remove them from your home, and repairing the damage they cause is your expense.
