TCP / IP - An animated discussion
- 00:00:00What if I told you that getting denied

- 00:00:03opportunity if you know how to respond?
- 00:00:07Now, in this video, I'm going to break
- 00:00:09down what an adverse action notice
- 00:00:10really means, how to challenge the
- 00:00:12denial using federal laws, and how to
- 00:00:15flip the script, getting your
- 00:00:17application reconsidered, or even suing
- 00:00:19for damages. Now, I've studied consumer
- 00:00:22law, credit reporting agencies, and
- 00:00:25regulations, and lender obligations, and
- 00:00:27I'm here to turn a no into power. Now,
- 00:00:30before we dive into this video, make
- 00:00:32sure to like the video. Make sure to hit
- 00:00:34the subscribe button. Make sure to tap
- 00:00:37in so that we can be at the top of the
- 00:00:40algorithm. You understand me? We want to
- 00:00:43be at the top of the algorithm because
- 00:00:44nobody talks about these concepts and
- 00:00:47breaks it down as simple as possible so
- 00:00:50that people can actually take action no
- 00:00:53matter what anybody says. I have people
- 00:00:55who DM me all the time and say uh you
- 00:00:58know this that and the third. But it's
- 00:01:00just like yo if you actually watch the
- 00:01:01videos you'll understand that it's
- 00:01:04something um it's really that plain and
- 00:01:08simple. I mean, yes, it may seem
- 00:01:11complex because of the certain jargon
- 00:01:13and language and th this that and the
- 00:01:15third, but if you actually were to look
- 00:01:16at the the the information and then do
- 00:01:19your own research, you'll be like,
- 00:01:20"Okay, everything that Nicholas is
- 00:01:22saying makes sense." Okay? And to be
- 00:01:25honest, I'm not really trying to reach
- 00:01:27the people who aren't on
- 00:01:29the same exact frequency. You know, if
- 00:01:33you've if you know it, if you got it,
- 00:01:35you got it. If you don't got it, oh
- 00:01:37well. All right. And for those of you
- 00:01:39guys that are watching, that's how you
- 00:01:41got to maneuver. All right. So, my
- 00:01:44object and goal today is to help people
- 00:01:46understand the aspect of denials and how
- 00:01:48to pretty much use the denials against
- 00:01:51them in some way, shape, or form get
- 00:01:53something back for it. Now, this is not
- 00:01:55legal advice. This is not financial
- 00:01:57advice. Do not employ these strategies
- 00:01:58unless you understand any and everything
- 00:02:01that I'm talking about and you're
- 00:02:02willing to do that extra due diligence.
- 00:02:05All right. So, what we're going to be
- 00:02:06talking about is what an average action
- 00:02:08notice is, when to expect it. We're
- 00:02:10going to talk about why denials can be
- 00:02:12legally invalid. We could talk about the
- 00:02:14aspect on how to respond and demand
- 00:02:17proof. And then lastly, we're going to
- 00:02:20talk about turning a denial into legal
- 00:02:22leverage. So, make sure you stay all the
- 00:02:24way to the end so that you can get this
- 00:02:26game that nobody is talking about. All
- 00:02:28right, bet. So, let's dive straight in.
- 00:02:31Now, what is an adverse action? You dig
- 00:02:34me? Let me go ahead and pull it up.
- 00:02:36Adverse action is a denial of credit,
- 00:02:40loan, or financial service. So,
- 00:02:42typically when you apply for a loan and
- 00:02:44you get
- 00:02:45denied, they're going to send you that's
- 00:02:48technically an adverse action. Okay? And
- 00:02:52if they're going to do something
- 00:02:53adversely to you, which is essentially
- 00:02:55the opposite of beneficial to you, then
- 00:02:58they have to notify you. Okay? And if
- 00:03:01they do that, they must give you notice
- 00:03:04of their adverse action according to the
- 00:03:06Equal Opportunity Act or the
- 00:03:09ECOA. All right, so I'll pull that up
- 00:03:11real quick. ECOA, Equal Opportunity Act,
- 00:03:14just for the viewers to see. You dig me?
- 00:03:17So, the Equal Opportunity Act is a US
- 00:03:19law that prohibits discrimination in any
- 00:03:22aspect of a credit transaction. Notice
- 00:03:24how it says in any prohibits
- 00:03:26discrimination in any aspect.
- 00:03:30You dig me? So, it makes it illegal for
- 00:03:33creditors to deny credit or charge
- 00:03:34different terms based on the applicant's
- 00:03:36race, color, religion, national origin,
- 00:03:38sex, marital status, age, and receipt of
- 00:03:40public assistance. Okay. Now, the one
- 00:03:43thing that they don't talk about is the
- 00:03:45aspect of your income. Okay. But we're
- 00:03:48going to talk about that in a second.
- 00:03:50You know, diving into the
- 00:03:52considerations. But you can find this
- 00:03:54either you can just Google ECOA like I
- 00:03:57did or you can go to 15 USC
- 00:04:011691 my baby scope of prohibition and
- 00:04:05specifically actually let's go back on
- 00:04:07specifically you can go to D. Okay. Or
- 00:04:11you can just look at this entire section
- 00:04:13here. Okay. But the overall like general
- 00:04:16like space of okay bet where can I find
- 00:04:19this? You can just come to 15 USC 1691
- 00:04:22and you could just go from there. All
- 00:04:25right. Now let's just talk about the
- 00:04:27aspect of what the notice should say on
- 00:04:30there. The notice should give specific
- 00:04:32reasons for denial. So if you are denied
- 00:04:35credit, they must provide that those
- 00:04:38proper, you know, reasons as to why they
- 00:04:41denied you. And it can't be on the
- 00:04:42aspect of something that isn't
- 00:04:44considered a uh factor. Okay, we'll talk
- 00:04:48about that in a second. Also, your right
- 00:04:50to receive a free credit report. That's
- 00:04:52basic. And contact info of the credit
- 00:04:54bureau used. So a part of that adverse
- 00:04:57action letter, this is should be
- 00:04:58something they should send immediately
- 00:05:00after denying you. They're supposed to
- 00:05:02put where they got their information
- 00:05:04from. They got to give specific reasons.
- 00:05:06Okay. Now, usually most people crumble
- 00:05:09when they get denied, but this letter is
- 00:05:13kind of like that legal doorway to
- 00:05:14figure out, okay, bet, what what is it
- 00:05:16that they are denying me for? All right.
- 00:05:20Now, give me one second. This is what I
- 00:05:22want to do. Here's why denials can be
- 00:05:24legally invalid. Okay. Number one, the
- 00:05:27question that you can always ask is if
- 00:05:30they provide all the disclosures
- 00:05:32according to 15 USC6001 under the truth
- 00:05:35the lending act. Now under the truth the
- 00:05:37lending act it requires lenders to
- 00:05:38provide any and all disclosures any and
- 00:05:40all documentary evidence about the
- 00:05:42lending aspect of it. Now part of the
- 00:05:44disclosures that is required is okay
- 00:05:48where is the origin of the financing?
- 00:05:50Where is the origin of the funding?
- 00:05:52Okay. And one of the things that they'll
- 00:05:54say is that you aren't creditw worthy or
- 00:05:56that there is something on your credit
- 00:05:57report that's keeping them from allowing
- 00:06:00you to get credit. Okay. But you can
- 00:06:02easily argue that that shouldn't even be
- 00:06:05a factor given the fact that has nothing
- 00:06:07to do as to where they actually receive
- 00:06:10the money. Okay? If they are getting the
- 00:06:13money from their own reserves, then that
- 00:06:15makes sense. But what if I told you that
- 00:06:17they wasn't getting their money from
- 00:06:18their reserves? What if I told you that
- 00:06:20they was getting their money from your
- 00:06:22signature and your energy was the one
- 00:06:23that actually created the credit? So,
- 00:06:25when you start to to to challenge them
- 00:06:27and ask for the disclosure as to the
- 00:06:30origin of the money, then their whole
- 00:06:32argument of okay, well, we can't loan
- 00:06:34you because you don't pay back your
- 00:06:37debts. It just doesn't make sense
- 00:06:38because there is no debt to be paid
- 00:06:40back. You understand me? So, this is why
- 00:06:43you ask for that full disclosure. Okay.
- 00:06:46Where what other angle did I want to go?
- 00:06:49Okay.
- 00:06:59[Applause]
- 00:07:06Um Okay. And another thing in terms of
- 00:07:11disclosure is you know they'll try to
- 00:07:13challenge and say that they are risking
- 00:07:15their money but you know if you are the
- 00:07:18one that's funding the transaction are
- 00:07:20they really risking their money is there
- 00:07:22any risk
- 00:07:24involved and that's the hard part. You
- 00:07:27know a lot of people don't know to take
- 00:07:29that angle when it comes to a denial.
- 00:07:31They know, okay, bet. Like, I shouldn't
- 00:07:33be denied, but all they can do is just
- 00:07:36complain and get emotional about it. But
- 00:07:39what angle would you take? This is the
- 00:07:41angle I would take. Are you risking your
- 00:07:43money? Why are you worried about my
- 00:07:45creditworthiness and my proof of income
- 00:07:47if the reality is you don't even you use
- 00:07:50me as proof of income? Then the other
- 00:07:52premise is, okay, bet. If you're going
- 00:07:54to use my promisary note, pro permissary
- 00:07:57note, whatever you want to call it, if
- 00:08:00you're going to use that as a financial
- 00:08:01asset, why can't I? If you're going to
- 00:08:04use that as proof of income to the
- 00:08:06Federal Reserve, why can't I? Oh, I need
- 00:08:09to see that you have good credit, but
- 00:08:11that shouldn't even matter. But then
- 00:08:13there's laws under 12 USC
- 00:08:161831, if I'm correct, that pretty much
- 00:08:18talks about the risk factors. And I may
- 00:08:20talk about it. Maybe not in this video.
- 00:08:23Maybe on the aspect under maybe on my
- 00:08:26Twitch. I'll talk a little bit about
- 00:08:28that from so maybe a little bit after
- 00:08:31this video. Most people don't know is I
- 00:08:33get on Twitch, do these live and then
- 00:08:36answer questions after the video. So
- 00:08:40yeah, make sure you guys hit the Twitch
- 00:08:42link down below and shoot a follow. So,
- 00:08:44here are some of the things that they
- 00:08:45will um some of the reasons that they
- 00:08:49will deny you for. They'll deny you for
- 00:08:52insufficient credit history. Okay. So,
- 00:08:55one of the things they'll say is you
- 00:08:57don't have enough established credit for
- 00:08:59the lender to assess your reliability.
- 00:09:01Okay.
- 00:09:03Um technically it's not illegal to do
- 00:09:06this but they must under 15 USC 1691
- 00:09:116091D 2 they must clearly explain this
- 00:09:15reason. They cannot just say okay you
- 00:09:17don't have enough established credit.
- 00:09:19They really got to break it down. Okay.
- 00:09:21Another thing they'll say is your score
- 00:09:24falls below an approval threshold. Okay.
- 00:09:26They'll say your score is too low. You
- 00:09:29can challenge. Okay. Was the score based
- 00:09:31on inaccurate or outdated info? If so,
- 00:09:36then there's two things you can do. You
- 00:09:37can challenge them based on whether the
- 00:09:40info was inaccurate or outdated. Or you
- 00:09:42can just go ahead and send a letter to
- 00:09:44the credit bureau and challenge the
- 00:09:45credit bureaus first and then come and
- 00:09:47then circle back under 15 you will see
- 00:09:491681i. Okay. Another thing they'll say
- 00:09:52is okay you have high debt to income
- 00:09:54ratio meaning your income can't
- 00:09:56reasonably support the debt and here's
- 00:09:59what you will move and say okay bet you
- 00:10:01can request documentation on how the
- 00:10:03debt to income was calculated and
- 00:10:06sometimes unfair unverified debts will
- 00:10:10inflate your debt to income ratio such
- 00:10:13as those debt collectors such as things
- 00:10:15that and then also those debts that have
- 00:10:17been charged off technically is not a
- 00:10:20debt that should be applied to your debt
- 00:10:22to income ratio. Okay, this is why I
- 00:10:25teach um you guys about debt so that you
- 00:10:28guys know how to know when a debt is
- 00:10:32unverifiable. Another aspect is when you
- 00:10:35have uh uh delinquent or derogatory
- 00:10:38accounts. So they'll say, okay, you have
- 00:10:40past due charged off or collection
- 00:10:42accounts. So this right here, this is
- 00:10:45when you would use 15 USC
- 00:10:471692G to validate those debts on your
- 00:10:50own. But then you want to challenge
- 00:10:52whether that reporting is accurate. And
- 00:10:53these are things that you must do. Okay?
- 00:10:56You must if you have these things on
- 00:10:58your credit report, you do want to
- 00:10:59challenge to get those things off. And
- 00:11:01it does make your argument much easier
- 00:11:03after the fact about the denial. Okay?
- 00:11:05Sometimes people look at it and they
- 00:11:07say, "Well, can I just argue with them
- 00:11:09about these things myself and get the
- 00:11:12denial off?" Well, you know, you really
- 00:11:15can't. I mean, you can, but you're just
- 00:11:18It's better if you kind of just like
- 00:11:21remove whatever they're deeming as
- 00:11:23something risk or unreliable and then
- 00:11:26kind of going back and applying. Okay?
- 00:11:29So, it's important that you get the
- 00:11:30adverse action noticed so that you know
- 00:11:32exactly what to target. Sometimes you
- 00:11:35can use that as an aspect to target it.
- 00:11:38All right? Then they're going to say
- 00:11:39something like a bankruptcy filing. So
- 00:11:42usually if you have a prior bankruptcy,
- 00:11:44they may view you as risky. Okay? And
- 00:11:48notice this cannot be a sole reason if
- 00:11:51other strong factors exist. So this may
- 00:11:55raise that fair lending issue. So, in
- 00:11:58most cases, yes, you will get denied for
- 00:12:00bankruptcy, but you can easily argue
- 00:12:02that that wouldn't be considered fair.
- 00:12:04All right. They also say, okay, too many
- 00:12:07recent inquiries. This is typically very
- 00:12:09common because I'll say that even though
- 00:12:12you can argue that inquiries shouldn't
- 00:12:14be a factor, when you get to a certain
- 00:12:16point, just their algorithm is just
- 00:12:18going to automatically deny you. So, if
- 00:12:20you have five inquiries on your credit
- 00:12:21report, they may automatically deny you.
- 00:12:24Okay? And it's that is easily fixed by
- 00:12:27calling the credit bureaus a couple
- 00:12:29times and telling them to remove those
- 00:12:30unauthorized inquiries and then trying
- 00:12:32again. Okay. Unstable employment or
- 00:12:35income. So if you have in inconsistent
- 00:12:38or insufficient job income, this right
- 00:12:40here is something where you can request
- 00:12:42that specific underwire underwriting
- 00:12:45guidelines to determine whether they
- 00:12:47deviated from like a standard review of
- 00:12:50your income. But you can also argue that
- 00:12:52under 15 you see 1691 that they cannot
- 00:12:56use that as a factor that technically is
- 00:13:00discrimination. Okay. Another thing,
- 00:13:02okay, mismatch between the application
- 00:13:04and the credit file. If the info on your
- 00:13:06credit report didn't match what you
- 00:13:07submitted, then this happens when there
- 00:13:10is a mixup between that credit file and
- 00:13:13the information that they received. then
- 00:13:15this is something you can easily
- 00:13:16challenge as well using um you know
- 00:13:19credit repair fair credit reporting act
- 00:13:22disputes. Okay. And then another thing
- 00:13:24is and and this is what I would be very
- 00:13:27strategic of is when you have no
- 00:13:32verifiable identity or an incomplete
- 00:13:35application. Okay. So they'll try to use
- 00:13:39and say, "Oh, we couldn't verify your
- 00:13:40identity." And essentially what you want
- 00:13:43to do is just give them the proof of
- 00:13:44your identity. And if it's already
- 00:13:46provided, then you can just site a
- 00:13:48failure to properly review under the
- 00:13:50Fair Credit Reporting Act or the Equal
- 00:13:51Opportunity Act. So those are a couple
- 00:13:53of things that they'll do. I also put
- 00:13:55together like a challenge letter,
- 00:13:56challenge letter, throw it in the
- 00:13:58complete debt guide as well. But just
- 00:14:00kind of moving on. Okay. Another thing
- 00:14:03is you want to ask them, okay, bet, did
- 00:14:06you perform a lawful review of my credit
- 00:14:08file? And a lawful review of my credit
- 00:14:10file is you moving by the by the things
- 00:14:14based on your rights as a consumer.
- 00:14:16Okay. Did you properly review it? And
- 00:14:18how did you review it? Okay. Another
- 00:14:21thing you want to ask them, okay, bet,
- 00:14:23did you make those decisions based off
- 00:14:25that unverified data? Did you make
- 00:14:27decisions based off of outdated data?
- 00:14:30Okay. Also, at the same time, were did
- 00:14:33they discriminate? Okay. Was there some
- 00:14:36type of discrimination where you just
- 00:14:37denied me just because of my zip code?
- 00:14:40Just denied me based off of who I was?
- 00:14:43Because some people get denied and they
- 00:14:45actually don't have bad credit. They
- 00:14:47have good credit. They don't have that
- 00:14:49much inquiries. Yes, they may not have
- 00:14:51as much credit as they hope they will
- 00:14:53have, but they still have good credit.
- 00:14:55If you're a person that gets denied and
- 00:14:57you have good credit and you don't meet
- 00:15:00none of those negative factors, this is
- 00:15:02a very easy argument to get them to
- 00:15:04reassess your
- 00:15:06application. Okay? And then lastly, the
- 00:15:09no proof that they use their own money
- 00:15:11to fund, meaning no standing to deny.
- 00:15:13And that's one of the biggest things to
- 00:15:15challenge when it comes to a denial is
- 00:15:17you starting to challenge, okay, the
- 00:15:18source of the funds, the source of the
- 00:15:20income. If you guys are going to loan me
- 00:15:22money, then show me that you're loaning
- 00:15:23me money and not actually using me to
- 00:15:26loan me money. Because we already know
- 00:15:28that under 12 USC 1431, my baby, 12 USC
- 00:15:331431, it says, look, each federal home
- 00:15:36loan bank shall have the power subject
- 00:15:38to the rules and regulations prescribed
- 00:15:39by the director to borrow and give
- 00:15:42securities. therefore and to pay
- 00:15:44interest thereon to issue dependent,
- 00:15:46bonds and other obligations upon such
- 00:15:48terms and conditions as the director may
- 00:15:50approve. All right. So the key things is
- 00:15:55that their powers and duties is to
- 00:15:58borrow and give securities. The question
- 00:16:01is okay what is a security? A security
- 00:16:03means money in this case or in banking
- 00:16:05terms security is money. And we already
- 00:16:07know under modern money mechanics. We
- 00:16:08already know under the Federal Reserve
- 00:16:10Act um section 16, we already know um
- 00:16:14you know uh uh uh uh uh that the money
- 00:16:18is not being loaned by them. So it's an
- 00:16:21easy challenge because this these are
- 00:16:23questions that they cannot answer or
- 00:16:25they can or supposed to answer but they
- 00:16:27won't. Okay? It won't be something where
- 00:16:30you're going to tell them, "Hey, did you
- 00:16:31do this?" And they're going to say, "You
- 00:16:32know what? You're right." And they're
- 00:16:33going to just approve you. No, you may
- 00:16:35need to take go to be willing to go the
- 00:16:37distance. So to borrow and give
- 00:16:40securities doesn't say loan securities.
- 00:16:42Did you guys gather that? Okay. So
- 00:16:44that's under 12 USC 1431. This is just
- 00:16:47one of the first uh you know codes that
- 00:16:50I had particularly seen as it when it
- 00:16:53pertained to the truth behind the
- 00:16:55banking system. Okay. But this will
- 00:16:58probably be an argument that you can
- 00:17:00easily do the things on the back end,
- 00:17:03which what I prefer one to do is to do
- 00:17:06the things that they say is a factor. So
- 00:17:09if they're saying that you have a charge
- 00:17:10off, just send a debt validation letter.
- 00:17:14If they're saying because obviously if
- 00:17:15this bank is going to have a problem
- 00:17:17with it, then the next bank that you
- 00:17:18apply to is going to have a problem as
- 00:17:19well. Okay? So if the next bank is going
- 00:17:22to have a problem, then just do what it
- 00:17:24is that you need to do. Okay. So, this
- 00:17:27is why we have a conversation about
- 00:17:29debt. This is why we have a conversation
- 00:17:30about charge off. This is why we have a
- 00:17:32conversation about communicating with
- 00:17:34debt collectors because these are one of
- 00:17:35the key things that they'll try to use
- 00:17:37against you. And instead of you getting
- 00:17:38mad that they're using these things
- 00:17:40against you, take responsibility and
- 00:17:42challenge those debt collectors.
- 00:17:43Challenge those charge offs. Take the
- 00:17:45information that you learn and start to
- 00:17:46execute on these things. You dig me? So,
- 00:17:50here's the biggest thing. If they if
- 00:17:52they aren't lending their own money,
- 00:17:54what are they really denying? Okay,
- 00:17:56another thing I want to talk about is 12
- 00:18:00USC
- 00:18:021831. So, there's also uh 12 USC 1831,
- 00:18:06but I want to find what do I want to
- 00:18:09find? Just for time sakes, I probably
- 00:18:10won't do it in this video. I may do a
- 00:18:12separate video talking about this, like
- 00:18:14a part two, but they have their own I
- 00:18:18just haven't reviewed this in so long,
- 00:18:20but they have their own um risk
- 00:18:23factors, okay, that they do more on the
- 00:18:27policy side of things, you know, and
- 00:18:31they kind of follow policies and
- 00:18:33regulations. And that policies and
- 00:18:35regulations don't apply to you unless
- 00:18:37you are, you know, uh uh the bank or in
- 00:18:41the bank. If you're outside of that,
- 00:18:44then you really don't have to adhere to
- 00:18:46their policies. Yeah, they may have to
- 00:18:49make decisions based off of their risk,
- 00:18:51but if their risk is not if they're not
- 00:18:54risking anything, then it really doesn't
- 00:18:56apply to you or them in this case.
- 00:18:59Especially if when you apply, no matter
- 00:19:02what, that money gets released to them.
- 00:19:03No matter what, they still have that
- 00:19:05application that is a financial asset to
- 00:19:08them. You dig what I'm saying? So, boom.
- 00:19:10If you gotten all the way this far, all
- 00:19:12my Twitch people that's here, you guys
- 00:19:14can disregard this. But if you gotten
- 00:19:16all the way this far, make sure to hit
- 00:19:17the subscribe button. Make sure to hit
- 00:19:18the like button, my baby, because what
- 00:19:20we're about to talk about is how to
- 00:19:22respond and demand proof the proper way.
- 00:19:25We're going to talk about it in the
- 00:19:26aspect of the legal merit behind it.
- 00:19:30Okay? Because a lot of people will talk
- 00:19:32about that you can't do this and you
- 00:19:35can't do that and the theories behind it
- 00:19:37and and and you know the mindset behind
- 00:19:40it but nobody ever tells you exactly
- 00:19:41what you should do in event you get
- 00:19:43denied for credit and you are pissed off
- 00:19:46and tired of getting denied for credit.
- 00:19:48How to properly go about it. All right.
- 00:19:51Now number one if you get an adverse
- 00:19:53action letter. Okay. Well if you get
- 00:19:55denied you want to either wait for the
- 00:19:57adverse action letter. give them about
- 00:19:5914 to 30 days to send you an adverse
- 00:20:01action letter. And then when you get
- 00:20:03that adverse action letter, you want to
- 00:20:04read it and find out exactly what it is.
- 00:20:08All right? But you also want to
- 00:20:11challenge that adverse action letter,
- 00:20:13especially if it's not clear and they're
- 00:20:15not telling you exactly why they denied
- 00:20:17you. You want to send that adverse
- 00:20:19action letter and you want to reference
- 00:20:20the Equal Opportunity Act of the 15 USC
- 00:20:231691. Okay? Challenge them directly. You
- 00:20:27want to demand the underwriting criteria
- 00:20:29an
- 00:20:30explanation. Okay? It's different than
- 00:20:33saying, "Oh, the increase this, that,
- 00:20:34and the third." But you want to know
- 00:20:35exactly what the underwriter is looking
- 00:20:36for. Not only for you, but even if
- 00:20:39you're in a space where you're helping
- 00:20:40other people, if you want to tell your
- 00:20:42family to apply, you have a right to
- 00:20:45know exactly what the underwriter is
- 00:20:47looking for. So, you can focus on that.
- 00:20:50All right. You want to request a copy of
- 00:20:52your credit report and lending file
- 00:20:54used. I need to see what you're looking
- 00:20:57at. I don't want you to just tell me,
- 00:20:59"Oh, you have too many inquiries. You
- 00:21:00have this. You have that." No, I want
- 00:21:02you to show me exactly where you found
- 00:21:03that info. And I want to know who gave
- 00:21:05you that info. My baby. Step two, you
- 00:21:09want to then dispute that credit report
- 00:21:12data that they used if it was falsely
- 00:21:16misused under 15 USC 1681i. under 15 USC
- 00:21:211681i. What makes it powerful to
- 00:21:24challenge your credit is the fact that
- 00:21:26you how I'm asking these debt collectors
- 00:21:29the same exact questions. We take the
- 00:21:30credit bureaus through the same exact
- 00:21:31thing. And most of the times credit
- 00:21:33bureaus do not provide this. They do not
- 00:21:36do what it is that they need to do their
- 00:21:38duty and obligation as a credit bureau.
- 00:21:41So typically, except for Experian,
- 00:21:44Experian is probably one of the people
- 00:21:46that especially what I've heard from an
- 00:21:49attorney who specifically
- 00:21:51works worked with the credit bureaus on
- 00:21:55their cases. She said, "Look,
- 00:21:57TransUnion, Equifax, oh, they'll settle
- 00:22:00fast. But Experian on the other hand,
- 00:22:02they'll they'll they'll take you there."
- 00:22:04Cuz do you know how much they charge
- 00:22:06attorneys charge credit bureaus and debt
- 00:22:09collectors? attorneys will charge them
- 00:22:11eight to,500 an hour. So if you think
- 00:22:14about it, if I'm only suing you for two
- 00:22:16grand, a lot of the attorneys will say,
- 00:22:18"Look, man, you can either pay me
- 00:22:19another two grand to take this all the
- 00:22:21way, or you can just pay
- 00:22:25them." I think that's the best. It's the
- 00:22:28job of the attorney to do what's best of
- 00:22:31the the client. Okay. So, do I want my
- 00:22:34client to end up spending a lot of
- 00:22:35money, or do I want my client to to uh,
- 00:22:38you know, pay me? No. Yeah, I mean, of
- 00:22:42course, I want to get paid, but, you
- 00:22:43know, number three, you want to send a
- 00:22:45conditional acceptance for that loan
- 00:22:47denial. So, one of the things that you
- 00:22:49can ask in your conditional acceptance
- 00:22:50is, "Hey, did you use your depositor's
- 00:22:53funds or credit created from my
- 00:22:55signature?" It's a key question that
- 00:22:57they must ask, and if it goes
- 00:22:58unanswered, then it stands in truth.
- 00:23:02Okay? This is why you could pair an
- 00:23:04affidavit to truth. You could pair what
- 00:23:06you see and known to be truth. And if it
- 00:23:08goes unrebuted, then it's really setting
- 00:23:10up a case for you to sue them for their
- 00:23:14violation,
- 00:23:16misrepresentation, unwillingness to
- 00:23:18answer, my baby. And it's step four, you
- 00:23:21want to demand lawful consideration and
- 00:23:23accounting. What is lawful
- 00:23:24consideration? Lawful consideration is,
- 00:23:26hey, was there an exchange? Would there
- 00:23:28have been an exchange? And again, they
- 00:23:30say, "Well, as soon as they deny me, I
- 00:23:31mean, this is just it's nothing for me
- 00:23:33to really say." No, it is. It's a lot
- 00:23:35for you to say and a lot for you to ask.
- 00:23:37It's But here's the thing. Yes, you get
- 00:23:39denied. And yes, we could easily argue
- 00:23:42some of these things and answer these
- 00:23:43questions, but you if you're not willing
- 00:23:45to do the actual process and write the
- 00:23:48letters and send it to the company and
- 00:23:50take them through the administrative
- 00:23:51process and potentially go to distance
- 00:23:52and take them to court for and build up
- 00:23:55evidence so you can take them to court,
- 00:23:57then don't do this. There's no point in
- 00:23:59you doing this just so you can get
- 00:24:00wrapped up in your head and so emotional
- 00:24:02about, oh, I know the truth. And then
- 00:24:04what you're going to do as soon as they
- 00:24:06deny you, you're you're not going to
- 00:24:07execute any of the steps that I just
- 00:24:09talked about. You're probably going to
- 00:24:10go and just complain and then slide in
- 00:24:12my DMs and say, "Well, how do you
- 00:24:14actually do it?" Well, damn, did you
- 00:24:16watch the video? You know what I mean?
- 00:24:18Like, that's why it's all about a
- 00:24:20frequency thing. Even if you don't
- 00:24:22understand it now, when you go and do
- 00:24:23some due diligence and you come back to
- 00:24:25the video, it's like, damn, he really
- 00:24:26was. He really did tell me everything.
- 00:24:29Okay, I'm not at all saying it's easy.
- 00:24:32Okay, this is why I'll make multiple
- 00:24:34videos saying the same
- 00:24:37things because one topic can probably
- 00:24:40lead somebody to finally say, you know
- 00:24:42what, damn, he really is hitting it on
- 00:24:45the head. And that's my goal. Maybe I'll
- 00:24:48start off and talk about certain things
- 00:24:50and say, "You know what? Boom. I'm
- 00:24:52talking about this specifically, but I'm
- 00:24:54always going to divert it back to the
- 00:24:55administrative process, how to do it
- 00:24:57properly. All this stuff is broken down
- 00:24:58in my complete debt guide." And if you
- 00:25:00have the complete debt guide, it's going
- 00:25:01to be resources and templates along with
- 00:25:03the YouTube videos. Oh man, that's a
- 00:25:05steal. Okay? So, when they say no, you
- 00:25:08pretty much hold them accountable. Now,
- 00:25:09let's talk about turning that denial
- 00:25:11into a legal leverage. Now, if they do
- 00:25:13not respond properly, which you do want.
- 00:25:15If someone comes to me and says, "Well,
- 00:25:17I sent this and they ignored me and it's
- 00:25:19been x amount of months and I haven't
- 00:25:20gotten no response, then oh man, this is
- 00:25:23exactly what you need to do." It's not
- 00:25:25that you come to me and you start
- 00:25:27complaining. You start to truly That's
- 00:25:30when you start getting on the gear.
- 00:25:33That's when you take it to a next gear
- 00:25:35because I'mma ask you directly, did you
- 00:25:37sue them? Did you try? Oh, well, no. Oh,
- 00:25:40I was just waiting on See, you waiting
- 00:25:42on them to give you permission. Stop
- 00:25:45giving them permission or stop waiting.
- 00:25:48My bad. I didn't mean to do that to your
- 00:25:49ears. But they don't respond. The first
- 00:25:52and simple thing you can do is file a
- 00:25:54complaint with the CFB or the FTC. Best
- 00:25:57to do it with the
- 00:25:58CFB. More than likely is something is
- 00:26:01not going to happen right away. Okay?
- 00:26:04This is just you moving in honor and
- 00:26:07building a case. Okay?
- 00:26:10If something happens, great. If it
- 00:26:12doesn't, great. You're building your
- 00:26:14case. Then you want to prepare a notice
- 00:26:16of intent to sue under the Equal
- 00:26:18Opportunity Act or the Fair Credit
- 00:26:21Reporting Act. Okay? You want to ask for
- 00:26:24damages plus
- 00:26:26reconsideration. Okay? You want to use
- 00:26:29that paper trail from you asking them
- 00:26:32those questions about the adverse action
- 00:26:34letter, what they sent you over time,
- 00:26:37when they sent you things, and you want
- 00:26:40and that notice of intent to sue you
- 00:26:42giving them another opportunity to cure.
- 00:26:44You want to use that as as a paper trail
- 00:26:47for small claims or a federal complaint
- 00:26:50or an or if you want to do an
- 00:26:52administrative lean. And you can also
- 00:26:54push for reconsideration with stronger
- 00:26:57terms. So understand that a denial
- 00:27:00without lawful basis equals damages in
- 00:27:04court. They have actually harmed you
- 00:27:07when they deny you. Not only that, they
- 00:27:09have stolen from you. And I don't mean
- 00:27:11to get you emotional, but I when I get
- 00:27:13you emotional, it's so that you can
- 00:27:14start to treat things like damn, okay,
- 00:27:16they are doing that to me, but I'm also
- 00:27:19doing it to myself as well. It's like
- 00:27:21going to the gym. There's people who get
- 00:27:23mad because they're gaining weight. Oh,
- 00:27:25they're making things not nutritious.
- 00:27:27What am I supposed to do? Someone say,
- 00:27:28"Well, I'm fat because I'm in America."
- 00:27:31Like, "So, you're a product of your
- 00:27:33environment?" I don't know if y'all seen
- 00:27:34that Tik Tok, but look, are you a
- 00:27:37product of your environment? Is that
- 00:27:38your excuse? Cuz you live in
- 00:27:42America. Stop it. Stop waiting on your
- 00:27:46somebody to to to to hand you your plate
- 00:27:50and create your own plate. Okay? Because
- 00:27:54those same people will get that plate of
- 00:27:56food right of opportunity and they
- 00:27:59decide not to eat it. If it was some
- 00:28:02healthy food, some nutritious food
- 00:28:03that'll make you stronger, better,
- 00:28:06they'll decide to say, "You know what?
- 00:28:09I want this plate that does nothing for
- 00:28:11me, doesn't serve me, doesn't make me
- 00:28:13healthy. We got people in the fitness
- 00:28:14industry right now can give you a whole
- 00:28:16nutrition plan on how to lose weight.
- 00:28:18And then a workout plan. And some people
- 00:28:20would say, "Well, I ain't doing that."
- 00:28:22Right after that, they're going to go to
- 00:28:23McDonald's. Hey, well, that's not fun to
- 00:28:25me. And that's exactly why you're fat,
- 00:28:27my baby. And I'm not here to fat Shane.
- 00:28:30I don't care what you do with your body.
- 00:28:32Just don't complain about it. That one's
- 00:28:33for you. Now, now that we understand
- 00:28:36that denials is just the beginning when
- 00:28:39you when you know consumer law, that's
- 00:28:41literally just the start of a legal
- 00:28:43process and and and the start of you
- 00:28:46being able to potentially sue them or
- 00:28:49better yet know exactly what you need to
- 00:28:51do so that you can get approved next
- 00:28:53time. You now want to understand that
- 00:28:56you can now flip the script, assert your
- 00:28:58rights, and never let the system say no
- 00:29:01without a fight. If you truly want to
- 00:29:03win, you got to be willing to fight. You
- 00:29:05got to be willing to take them to the
- 00:29:06task. You got to be willing to hold them
- 00:29:08accountable. And if you're not willing
- 00:29:10to do that, do not complain. If you're
- 00:29:12not willing to go to the gym and work
- 00:29:14that body out, then don't
- 00:29:17complain. If you're not willing to do
- 00:29:20the due diligence to learn how to
- 00:29:22communicate with a debt collector,
- 00:29:23credit bureau, a a bank, don't complain
- 00:29:27to them. You should be complaining. You
- 00:29:29should be getting mad at yourself. You
- 00:29:30feel me? Now, now that we got all the
- 00:29:32way to the end, if you got all the way
- 00:29:33to the end, you're the real one. All
