General Q&A: 21/05/2025

Question Answered During This Q&A Webinar

00:00:54 Jeanette Margaret: I submitted an amendment to my 2023/24 individual tax return and received back a notice of Assessment saying difference between this amended notice and your previous notice Nil. What is the next step that I can take? They are not even taking into account the signed/witnessed affidavit.

00:01:12 Aaron: Q: Do you use All Rights Reserved on all court documents ?

00:01:41 Aaron: Q: If an employer has already made a deduction out of salary and wages, the deduction is for a garnishee order which has no signature on it. The deduction was made upon final salaries before leaving the previous employer. What strategy (title of notice) would you use to recoup the amount deducted and any potential damages incurred?

00:02:22 Bill k: Q: Can I send 3 successive demand notices stating if they don’t report my account as paid as agreed & a zero balance to equifax, that they will be liable for a $5,000 penalty per month until it’s corrected? Or is there a better pressure point?

00:02:24 Daisy Doone: QUESTION….Is a ticket that a police officer gives you also known as an affidavit? I was just listening to someone online who says that.

00:02:28 Kevin Gonzales: Original Action:
I sent Bankwest a $2,500 bank cheque along with a conditional letter of offer to settle my Mastercard account ending in 0920. The letter explicitly stated that if they did not accept the cheque, they were required to return it to me within 72 hours.

Bank’s Response – Sequence of Events:

Letter 1: Bankwest sent a physical letter stating they are exercising their right to assign the debt to a third-party collections agency.

Letter 2: They sent another physical letter with a notice that they have closed my Mastercard account due to account conduct and internal consideration.

Email Received: I then received an email saying:

Dear Kevin,

We received your offer for settlement of account ending in 0920, for $2500.00. We tried to contact you unsuccessfully. Due to not having a personal money plan or any other supporting evidence, we cannot accept your offer.

I am unsure as to what to do for next steps. What would you do?

00:05:52 Daisy Doone: Question…..Is there more than one type of equity? Ie from Anna Von Reitz… what does she mean by this…. Quote…. “In promoting “equity law” they neglect to tell the victims that it is the King’s purported “equity” they are protecting and asserting — that is, the obligation of all his loyal indentured servants (U.S. Citizens) to hand over all of their assets to his administrators, and allow them to make decisions advantageous to him concerning those assets. If his administrators decide to sell your property for his benefit, their brand of “equity law” allows them to do so, and not even pay you a share of the profit.”

00:06:26 Chris Timbury: Q: The government is giving out loans to ABN holders for up to $500K. Would this be easy to promissory note being for a business? I am a sole trader

00:07:17 Bill k: Q: if I send the bank an acknowledgment of full & final satisfaction notice via email is that as effective as mailing it? Also, If the bank emails me a delinquency notice after I’ve discharged the account, can i reply via email with a notice & assume it will get to the necessary people & be considered delivered?

00:08:49 Bill k: Q: if buying property in America that has a lien on it, is it a lot better to put it into trust when u buy it, or is it ok to do so after the purchase? (if you don’t have a trust yet)

00:09:14 Kohar: Q: When you issue a BOE or PN, do you send the original whilst keeping a copy for your own records ?

00:10:03 Jonathan: Hi Mark, Q: Can you please provide an example of what you would say to defend that a Acceptance for Value Money Order is a legal method to discharge a liability?

00:10:25 Bill k: Q: Why is a 10% full & final satisfaction sweat equity check easier to hold your position on than a PN/BOE/money order, etc?

00:10:30 David: Does US or UK case law have any standing if any in Aus ?

00:11:53 Lyd: Lyd (You): Q. I set up a non registered trust with westpac a few years ago. Since closing my hairdressing business ( just over a year now) I now see clients at their home and they sometimes come to me. I get them to pay directly into the trust via direct transfer. They use my private trust name when transferring not the publicly registered business name. Is this ok?

00:19:36 Bill k: Q: Why not include say a $100 sweat equity bank check along with a PN or BOE, which says right on the memo that cashing this check and retaining the PN discharges the liability, and including a letter that also says that. Could that make it easier to get it over the line?

00:20:39 John Lagoudakis: Q: When we set up our SMSF and the Company Entity associated with it, we signed the documents “all rights reserved”. Does this mean we can do with the assets as we see fit? Eg move the cryptos from our SMSF account to our trust crypto account, and then close the SMSF account?

00:20:54 James & Georgie Kirby: Hi Mark, I am a new member who only joined yesterday and have some questions regarding dealing with the ATO and I’ve lodged a complaint against the ATO for issuing Garnishee Notices to our clients without our knowledge when we were in negotiations with the ATO to settle the alleged debt. We operate as via a Trust. The garnishee notice given to one of our clients shared it with me and I noticed it was not signed by anyone just typed name of the deputy commissioner and no seal or stamp. We have objected and requesting compensation for damages incurred. Have you had much experienced with the ATO and garnishee notices or able to offer any advice for my next meeting post investigation currently on foot? As soon as this matter is dealt with I am going PRIVATE. Would you recommend engaging someone to assist me?

00:22:14 Aaron: Q: Once you are issued with an infringement notice (speeding) and you proceed through the private administrative process and issue three consecutive notices of conditional acceptance, during this process they have suspended the licence and added additional fees to the fine. What strategy would you use and/or continue to use to hold them accountable?

00:28:17 Jayne: Hi Mark, what are your thoughts about the following scenario – summoned to court and when being called by the magistrate you say “Sir, are you seeking the fiction of law or are you seeking the living man”

00:38:22 wj: Q.
Ultimately if you’ve been stopped using a police “system” to inform the informant, is that not a straight breach of APP no.2 ?

(APP) Australian privacy principles

00:41:22 wj: Q.
How do we get the CUSIP??.?

It’s a unicorn

00:43:41 wj: Q. Re; APP no2. Being right to use pseudonym and remain anonymous, protect my identity ect.

01:09:33 Bill k: Q: if I’m buying property in the U.S. using seller financing can I put it in a trust?

01:11:09 In Formation: Hi Mark, I’ve heard there’s no such thing as a private trust, only Statutory & Non-Statutory trust. In nsw, rental property under a Trust is subject to Land Tax, & Surcharge Tax at any value down to zero. Surcharge was dealt with by excluding foreign beneficiaries, but ordinary Land Tax still applied. Where does the Private Trust sit, is it somehow ‘anonymous’?

01:17:55 James & Georgie Kirby: How is it legal for the ATO to state in a Garnishee Notice to a 3rd a third party a Clause “you are protected” Any payment you make as a result of this notice is taken to have been authorised by XX P/L as Trustee for the XX Trust? We did not authorise ANYTHING. We had no knowledge of this action by the ATO and did not consent to our private information being disclosed,
