Raw Story | January 30, 2007
President George W. Bush has given his administration a boost in how the government regulates key issues such as civil rights and the environment, RAW STORY has learned The New York Times will report on its Tuesday front page.
The President "signed a directive that gives the White House much greater control over the rules that the federal government develops to regulate public health, safety," privacy and other issues, writes Robert Pear for the Times.
Pear reports that "in an executive order published last week in the Federal Register, Bush said that each federal agency must have a regulatory policy office run by a political appointee" who will monitor the creation of process and procedures and the associated documentation.
"The White House will thus have a gatekeeper in each agency," Pear writes, "to analyze the costs and benefits of new rules and to make sure they carry out the president's priorities."
Excerpts from the Times article follow...

This strengthens the hand of the White House in shaping rules that have, in the past, often been generated by civil servants and scientific experts. It suggests that the administration still has ways to exert its power after the takeover of Congress by the Democrats.
The White House said the executive order was not meant to rein in any one agency. But business executives and consumer advocates said the administration was particularly concerned about rules and guidance issued by the Environmental Protection Agency and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.

Sorry if I confused anybody, but the order I would generally go in is to issue the Credit agreement request FIRST, then go down the formal complaint route. Some may prefer to enclose the agreement and complaints-procedure requests in the same letter - everybody's different.
I should have made this a lot clearer than I did, and apologise for not spotting it sooner.
However, I need to re-embellish the point of making NO admission of debt at ANY point to these people - it may come back to haunt you, and you don't have to answer anything to them anyway.
***
In my previous messages, I have highlighted the dishonest and sometimes even illegal actions of private collection agencies. Apart from the corrupt UK government's active sponsorship of the industry in general -- and their forthcoming proposal to allocate state debts to Intrum Justitia (a company that shouldn't be trusted to mop toilet floors!) - I am attempting to highlight how uncontrolled, poorly-monitored an industry it really is. Many such companies don't hold a credit licence, and many are not registered with Companies House.
More to the point, this industry is directly responsible for aggravating stress, depression, desperation, family break-ups, and even suicide in some cases. And why should you or me actually subside all this?
But - don't be frightened -- they have no real powers of their own, are totally irrelevant, and can easily be subdued, and here's how. Not only that, but you can very easily turn the situation around on its head and actually cost THEM money without cost to you, apart from a few minutes of your time. If you've ever been a victim of identity fraud, unwarranted harassment, or just plain old mistaken identity, what follows is what you should do to counter it.
The companies concerned won't like it, but who cares what they think? What matters is you, not some company that tries to rob your hard-earned with threats and bullshit.
There are more important points that I did not have time to highlight in the speech.
1) You should always start your initial letter with 'I do not acknowledge any debt to your company'. Even if you do owe a debt, remember again that it's the original creditor that needs paying, not them. They cannot prevent you from doing so, and if you do choose this alternative, you don't have to explain yourself to them! Remember also that a collection agency may be quoting an amount surpassing that of what the original creditor have already told you previously. One more reason NOT to deal with an agency.
2) If you do make/receive a phone call from an agency, get the name of the person working for the company. But bear in mind that some of the less reputable collection agencies, such as McKenzie Hall, do use fake names.
3) More often than not, as the 40th day draws near, you will receive a letter from them stating 'we are no longer handling this account and are returning it to our client'. Translated, this means that the agency cannot obtain the information you've asked them for and are running scared in case you make a formal complaint. If this happens, make a formal complaint anyway -- they have after all, shook you up with their letter, and that warrants a complaint in itself. If nothing else, this is further assurance that you won't hear from that agency again.
4) You may receive two letters from two different agencies at or around the same time in pursuit of the same debt. It is unlawful for two agencies to be simultaneously persuing the same debt.
5) A debt you may be paying already may end up being passed to another agency, who will then send a letter threatening further action for non-payment. Remember that even if you do pay an agency as regular as clockwork, it in no way means the threat letters will stop. This usually happens when debt portfolios are sold on other agencies by the original creditor. This segues off neatly into the scenario highlighted in point 4.
6) Have draft letters already prepared for any scenario I have highlighted.
7) There are cases where people make an arrangement with a collection agency whereupon they 'negotiate' a percentage lump sum to 'get rid of' the debt. Many do this in order to remove defaults from their credit reports. Remember that once the default is there, it will stay there and even if the defaulted debt has since been paid, the report will still have the default listed (the status being changed to 'Settled'). If the debt is disputed, then a Notice of Correction needs to be forwarded to the relevant credit report body, whether it be Experian, Equifax or Callcredit.
I hope you feel my advice has helped you.
Finally, if you're stuck on how to draft a written reply to a letter that such an agency writes to you, then sign up on www.consumeractiongroup.com - they have an excellent template letters section, which you can then tailor to suit your individual case.

A former member of an extremist Islamic organization which is part of al-Qaeda explained how the organization's recruiters operate on susceptible young men. "Someone approached me in the mosque as I was praying, and started to talk to me about injustice in the Middle East, the poverty, our impotence in the face of Israel. He made me want to listen to him - to find a solution. At first these people don't talk about violence. They concentrate on how much injustice America has caused in the world and how to get rid of this unfairness. They mention Palestine, they call on you to uphold your national dignity, to defend people, and suggest for that you must sacrifice yourself. Then your people will live after you and will always remember you." The young man, himself an Egyptian, speaking in the privacy of a quite courtyard in Cairo, believed this was the way Mohamed Atta was approached.

It may be a revelation to many people that the global drug trade is
controlled and run by the intelligence agencies. In this global drug trade British intelligence reigns supreme. As intelligence insiders know MI5 and MI6 control many of the other intelligence agencies in the world (CIA, MOSSAD etc) in a vast web of intrigue and corruption that has its global power base in the city of London, the square mile. My name is James Casbolt, and I worked for MI6 in 'black ops' cocaine trafficking with the IRA and MOSSAD in London and Brighton between 1995 and 1999. My father Peter Casbolt
was also MI6 and worked with the CIA and mafia in Rome, trafficking cocaine into Britain. My experience was that the distinctions of all these groups became blurred until in the end we were all one international group working together for the same goals. We were puppets who had our strings pulled by global puppet masters based in the city of London. Most levels of the intelligence agencies are not loyal to the people of the country they are based in and see themselves as 'super national'.
It had been proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that the CIA has been bringing in most of the drugs into America for the last fifty years (see ex LAPD officer Michael Rupert's 'From the wilderness' website for proof). The CIA operates under orders from British intelligence and was created by British intelligence in 1947. The CIA today is still loyal to the international bankers based in the city of London and the global elite aristocratic families like the Rothschild's and the Windsor's. Since it was first started, MI6 has always brought drugs into Britain. They do not bring 'some' of the drugs into Britain but I would estimate MI6 bring in around ninety percent of the drugs in. They do this by pulling the strings of many organised crime and terrorist groups and these groups like the IRA are full of MI6 agents.
MI6 bring in heroin from the middle east, cocaine from south America and cannabis from morocco as well as other places. British intelligence also designed and created the drug LSD in the 1950's through places like the Tavistock Institute in London. By the 1960's MI5, MI6 and the CIA were using LSD as a weapon against the angry protestors of the sixties and turned them into 'flower children' who were too tripped out to organise a revolution.
Dr Timothy Leary the LSD guru of the sixties was a CIA puppet. Funds and drugs for Leary's research came from the CIA and Leary says that Cord Meyer, the CIA agent in charge of funding the sixties LSD counter culture has"helped me to understand my political cultural role more clearly". In 1998, I was sent 3000 LSD doses on blotting paper by MI5 with pictures of the European union flag on them. The MI5 man who sent them told my father this was a government 'signature' and this LSD was called 'Europa'.

The terrible devastation and the aftermath of this catastrophe cuaght on tape. Sri Lanka and Thailand were severely impacted by the tsunami on December 26, 2004. Tsunami Thailand 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake was an undersea earthquake that occurred at 00:58:53 UTC (07:58:53 local time) December 26, 2004, with an epicentre off the west coast of Sumatra, Indonesia.
Surprisingly, some islands right in the middle of the tsunami were not badly affected. It turns out their atolls, or coral reefs, absorbed much of the wave. The coral ridges protected them. In many regions of the Asian waters, there is a practice some fishermen use, of dynamiting the natural coral reefs to bring up fish. These barriers to the tsunami were no longer in place to deflect the water.
The disaster promoted a global outpouring of sympathy, with governments, individuals and corporations pledging more than $13 billion in aid. According to UN database, nearly two years after donors pledged billions to help the victims only half the money had been spent. Of the half a million people left homeless by the disaster, only a third have been permanently rehoused.
The public response to the tsunami was very untypical. A combination of events - the dramatic nature of the huge wave, its occurrence at Christmas, the size of the disaster, the fact that so many Westerners died, the availability of spectacular video footage and the extensive TV coverage that secured - meant that the global public gave far more than ever before. The money went to aid agencies that were too small to mastermind such a mammoth task. Oxfam has spent more than $280 million on disaster recovery work and is now more than three-quarters of the way through its response plan. Aid workers have helped more than 2.3 million people across seven countries to get back into their homes.Despite the outpouring of generosity from aid agencies and individuals, recipient countries say pledges by some governments have still not been honoured.
The earthquake triggered a series of devastating tsunamis along the coasts of most landmasses bordering the Indian Ocean, killing more than 225,000 people in eleven countries, and inundating coastal communities with waves up to 30 meters With a magnitude of between 9.1 and 9.3, it is the second largest earthquake ever recorded on a seismograph. This earthquake had the longest duration of faulting ever observed, between 8.3 and 10 minutes. It caused the entire planet to vibrate as much as 1 cm (0.5 inches) and triggered other earthquakes as far away as Alaska.
The disaster is known by the scientific community as the Great Sumatra-Andaman earthquake,and is also known as the Asian Tsunami and the Boxing Day Tsunami. Thailand: 5,395 dead, 2,993 missing. Many of the missing are presumed dead. Maldives: 82 dead, 26 missing.
The latest disater to hit Asia, Cyclone Nargis struck May 2008, bringing winds of up 120mph and flooding to the badly affected Irrawaddy Delta region, Burma Myanmar. The cyclone had left twice as many people vulnerable as the 2004 Asian tsunami.
