They are now prohibited from doing business in the state of MN and the judgment they against you is probably now invalid.<br /><br />It makes for great contrast when you read their website, which boasts about how their high ethics are setting a new standard in the industry!<br /><br />What concerns me most in your article is where Bradstreet was alleging to be an attorney; this is probably just not true. The impersonation of being a lawyer is a felony in MN. This is a very serious allegation; and if true, the consequences are severe.<br /><br />If you are willing to document the time and date of the call, and swear to it under oath of perjury, I would be willing to submit it to the AG as supporting evidence to a compliant I filed earlier this year.

I have a lot of words out there free for anyone to read, and I figure, if I have any protection, it's those words, such as they are. If they arrest me, that will invariably result in a lot more readers. If they shut down the Internet though, that's when it's time to G.O.O.D.<br /><br />Sorry about the computer.

I mean not even an indication light that the damn thing was plugged in. My only portal to the net now is on my wife's work computer. <br /><br />A couple of days after the death of the computer, the aging chicken maverick down the street called and asked if I wanted to buy his chickens and coop for a very reasonable price. His health is deteriorating and he can't keep them any longer. I now have 10 Deleware hens and the prettiest Rode Island Red rooster you ever saw. <br /><br />I'm supposed to be in Asheville right now for the last weekend of the permaculture in action class that I've been taking all summer, but I'm 70 miles away at home typing this instead. I'm not sure why I didn't get up and leave this morning...other than the fact that I stayed up till 2 a.m. last night canning a bumper crop of jalapenos and cucumbers. I harvested them two days ago and planned on spending the entire day processing them but got roped into helping my sister in law move...hence the 2 a.m. canfest that is responsible for my ass sitting here now. <br /><br />About the blog...you hit on my biggest fear (and I plan on reading your blog "fear" after I'm done with this comment). I'm scared to death of being locked up by nobody and never being heard from again. Lately I have been having dreams about being in prison. Part of me just feels that people like us are not wanted by society. Society views us as somehow flawed, and the only place they feel we belong is locked up. <br /><br />What else do you need to know? We have big business in this country for building and maintaining prisons. Private companies that make a profit, probably even give ridiculous bonuses to themselves, off of incarcerating the citizens of this country for no good reason. I try not to think about it, but I can't help what I dream about (well...there is always confronting it lucidly). <br /><br />I think bureaucracy is the cancer of man's rotten organization. An idea, created by man, that has taken a life of it's own. It lives by feeding on the brains of it's citizens...like zombies. Zombies, the meme that keeps getting bigger as we go.

They can send me to lock up for contempt of court, and keep me there until I no longer show contempt - by signing the disclosure, agreeing to pay, which is pretty much the same thing, but as Dimitri Orlov says, we aren't really following laws in this country anymore. As for bankruptcy, that sounds like a lot of trouble over a little debt like this. <br /><br />Glad to hear the tomatoes are happy.William Hunter Duncanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03659156353754825272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1160895395634617774.post-23291391918255652322012-06-28T22:40:57.654-05:002012-06-28T22:40:57.654-05:00I'd suggest declaring bankruptcy.

I sued a former employer for almost $8000 that they owed me, won, in court after they didn't show up, but could never get a penny because they had recently declared bankruptcy (and specifically asked for protection from me and all the other employees, and never sent me the letter they were supposed to.)<br /><br />I don't think the county can lock you up for a private debt, such as that owed to a bank or collection agency. The collection agent would like you to think that, but I'm pretty sure it's not true. Check out the free legal clinic. Filing bankruptcy would essentially legitimize the actual state of your finances, and they wouldn't be able to take the house. <br /><br />Regarding sheet mulch- I posted about my ongoing sheet mulch experiment at http://eighthacrefarm.blogspot.com/2012/06/to-till-or-not-to-till-part-2.html for what it's worth. <br /><br />The tomatoes are thriving by the way!Jeff Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06285239745975791484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1160895395634617774.post-65804981655833870002012-06-28T18:29:27.067-05:002012-06-28T18:29:27.067-05:00WHD, no, I'm not laughing at myself.

Thanks.<br /><br />Tim,<br /><br />The sheet mulch doesn't work unless it remains wet, such as over winter with a snow cover. My neighbor did the same to her entire yard, we had little snow, and there was cardboard all over the neighborhood in the spring.<br /><br />Tillers are junk for small plots. I wrote a post in April or May in 2011 about what I did to the soil in my yard, with pics, but I don't remember what I called it. Dig out the the first 12 inches, pile it up, put a few inches of wood chips in the hole, fork it up, use your hands to remove the sod, put the sod upside down in the hole, rake the soil back in with a few wood chips or dry leaves. Unless you have clay, and then you might as well remove the clay and send it somewhere, or build berms with it.

I tried to sheet mulch a 30 x 20 patch of my lawn last fall and it didn't work too well, the cardboard kept blowing away. Anyway I broke down and rented a rototiller, my arms are killing me. I've been reading Toby Hemenways "Gaia's Garden". I had a dream the other night which I took to be reconnecting with the divine feminine. I meant what I said in my deleted posts. I don't know what I'm talking about for the most part,"synchronicities" are just hunches or feelings I guess.

I am not a lawyer, but the fact that they didn't send anything by certified mail sounds very fishy to me. <br /><br />Personally I would probably ignore it until they sent something via certified mail to my current address.<br /><br />If you do have to disclose your bank account, I would just never put any money in it, opening up a new one if necessary. My guess is that they won't persue it once they figure out that they can't squeeze it out of you because you don't have it.<br /><br />I do think the way many bill collectors act is totally outrageous.John D.
