Accepted for Value: or, “A4V” in shorthand. We’re going to look at A4V, two ways: what the claims are, (a) from those who say it can help solve debts, or (b) how a few court cases have actually treated A4V claims. It’s up to you, which ‘side’ you want to accept…either those who make debt-discharge claims, or the judges who actually decide contract claims in court. You can guess which side I may be on, but all I want to do is give you some important information. If you are in immediate need of legal advice, and are eligible, you may seek low-cost of free legal aid from http://www.slsct.org/. If you are seeking business advantages through A4V, try http://www.southeasternctscore.org/.
 
Accepted for Value: Claims To Settle Debt
 
From YouTube videos to do-it-yourself debt books, A4V advocates may use a lot of different phrase or words. They’ll mention commercial transactions, the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), or contract theory (such as adhesion). The basic idea of accepted for value is to say “A bankrupt economic system cannot enforce a legal obligation to collect a bankrupted debt.” Believers in A4V exist everywhere there is Common law. So you’ll find the same arguments in England and America, or Canada and Australia.
 
To reach its basic conclusion (that a debt can’t be collected based on citizenship), there is a not too surprising amount of confusing “process.” Interestingly, all of the sources you’re likely to find on A4V will tell you that it’s a very simple process…but use very vague terminology The simple process is to sign sidewise (left to right, at 90 degrees), “usually in the left lower corner.” The phrase to be used will of the type,
 
ACCEPTED FOR VALUE BY DRAWEE
EXEMPT FROM LEVY
EXEMPTION ID:
SIGNED.................................DATE.........................................
 
Some A4Vers will insist the signature must be in blue, and the date in red. Interestingly, many of the people who use the “process” also note their willingness to stand up for the principles of personal freedom. One A4Ver noted this meant the final stop of the “process” was to appear in court.
 
 
Court Rulings: Why A4V Doesn’t Work As Intended
 
In Texas, a man was given a traffic ticket. His answer was to refuse any payment, and he marked a summons with Accepted For Value. He used the following phrases, in trying to apply the process of A4V: It gave Appellant's address and was entitled “FIRST REQUEST“NON-NEGOTIABLE.” Below the title was the phrase, “In the matter of: FOR FIDUCIARY TAX REPORT.” Notice of Acceptance for Value and Exempt from Levy.” http://caselaw.findlaw.com/tx-court-of-appeals/1495725.html.
 
Eventually, his refusal to work out a payment in cash led to his arrest for what’s called simulating legal process. He was ordered to jail for six months. Fortunately, he appealed that jail time, and that was reversed.
 
In a California case, another twist to the A4V argument was sued…this time using the key words “Personal UCC Contract Trust Account.” A husband and wife attempted to make a demand to Chase mortgage using government funds. Chase refused, saying such a demand on the IRS was “illegal.” The trial court, and then an appeals court, agreed. http://caselaw.findlaw.com/ca-court-of-appeal/1003380.html.
 
In the Chase decision, the appeals court described the A4V demand as “worthless on its face.”
