States."

 Section 7 of the Privacy Act of 1974 specifically provides that it shall be
unlawful for any Federal, State or local government agency to deny to any
individual any right, benefit, or privilege provided by law because of such
individual's refusal to disclose his social security account number." (Emphasis
Added)

"Right of privacy is a personal right designed to protect persons from unwanted

disclosure of personal information..." CNA Financial Corp. v. Local 743, D.C., Ill.,
1981, 515 F. Supp. 942, Ill.

"In enacting Section 7 of the Privacy Act of 1974, Congress sought to curtail the
expanding use of social security account numbers by federal and local agencies and,
by so doing, to eliminate the threat to individual privacy and confidentiality of
information posed by common numerical identifiers." Doyle v. Wilson; D.C. Del.,
1982, 529 G. Supp. 1343.

Under the heading Disclosure of Social Security Number, Section 7 of Pub. L. 93-
579 provides that:

"(a)(1) It shall be unlawful for any Federal, State or local government agency to
deny to any individual any right, benefit, or privilege provided by law because of
such individual's refusal to disclose his social security account number."

"(2) the provisions of paragraph (1) of this subsection shall not apply with respect
to --"

"(A) any disclosure which is required by Federal statute, or" (Emphasis Added)

"(B) the disclosure of social security number to any Federal, State, or lacal
agency maintaining a system of records in existence and operating before January
1, 1975, if such disclosure was required under statute or regulation adopted prior
to such date to verify the identity of an individual."

"(b) Any Federal, State, or local government agency which requests an individual
to disclose his social security account number shall inform that individual whether
that disclosure is mandatory or voluntary, by what statutory or other authority
such number is solicited, and what uses will be made of it." (Emphasis Added)

 An "agency is a relation created by express or implied contract or by law, whereby
one party delegates the transaction of some lawful business with a more or less
discretionary power to another." State Ex Real. Cities Service Gas v. Public Service
Commission; 85 S.W. 2d 890.

IV. If the Institution you represent is a Federal or State Chartered Bank or Credit
Union, you are advised that if such chartered Bank or Credit Union routinely collects
information and provides such information to Federal, State, or local government
agencies; then such bank or credit union is an agency of government and subject to said
laws of the government.

The 1976 amendment to the Social Security Act, codified at 42 U.S.C.A., Sec 301
et seq., 405(c)(2)(i, iii), states that there are only four (4) instances where social
security account numbers may be demanded. These are:

1. For tax matters;

2. To receive public assistance;
3. To obtain and use a driver's license; and
4. To register a motor vehicle.

You are hereby being advised that a non-interest-bearing account or an independent

trustee acting as a fiduciary to a trust does not pertain to any of the above four
instances. Because non-interest-bearing accounts do not pay any interest and
independent trustees acting as a fiduciary to a trust receive no interest from any
interest bearing accounts; there is no "need-to-know" on the part of government or
the banking institution.

V. In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, whenever an agency fails to comply
with the law, the party wronged may bring a civil action in the district court of the
United States against such agency. Should the court determine that the agency acted
in a manner which was intentional or wilful, the agency shall be liable to the wronged
party in an amount equal to the sum of:

1. Actual damages sustained, but in no case less than $1,000; and

2. The cost of the action together with reasonable attorney's fees.

VI. It is also unlawful under the State of California Financial Code, Corporations Code,
Department of Financial Institutions (DFI) Code, and the United States Department of
the Treasury, Office of Management and Budget, Office of the Comptroller of the
Currency (OCC), Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS), 12 USCS §§ 1-1706, etc. to
discriminate against any legal “person,” including a "Massachusetts" or business trust.

 VII. Both the State of California, i.e.; 3d Edition of California Jurisprudence, Volume
15, and the United States, i.e.; 2d Edition of American Jurisprudence, Volume 13,
recognize in great detail the use of “Massachusetts” or true business trusts in business
today.
15 Cal Jur 3d, Corporations, Section 551-560 states in part “Summary A business
trust can be legally established in this state ( § 551). Such a trust, also known
as a Massachusetts trust, is a form of business organization consisting essentially
of an arrangement whereby property is conveyed to trustees, to be held and
managed for the benefit of such persons as may from time to time be the holders
of transferable certificates issued by the trustees showing the shares into which the
beneficial interest in the property is divided (§ 552) ... In the absence of
controlling authority to the contrary, there is no reason why the true business trust,
with its limited liability, should not be recognized in this state (§ 554).”
[Emphasis added.]
13 Am Jur 2d, Business Trust, pg. 379, Paragraph 51 "One of the
objectives of Business Trusts is to obtain for the Trust associates, most of
the advantages of corporations, without the authority of any legislative act
and with the freedom from the restrictions and regulations generally
imposed by law upon corporations."
Even Section 101(9) of the Revised Uniform Partnership Act (RUPA),
approved in 1994 by the Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State
Laws declare a partner must be a person, defined "PERSON" as “an
individual, corporation, BUSINESS TRUST, estate, trust, partnership, joint
venture, government, governmental subdivision, agency or instrumentality,
or any other legal or commercial entity.” [Emphasis added.]
VIII. This Constructive Notice is hereby delivered to you for your immediate remedy
of this, or these, violation(s) of State of California and/or United States law.

 Additional References:
The Interagency Task Force on Fair Lending in their "Policy Statement on
Discrimination in Lending," March 8, 1994, seems to have relaxed the standard for
referral of "pattern or practice" cases to the Department Of Justice for investigation
and possible prosecution. Under the current instructions to Office of the Comptroller
of the Currency (OCC) examiners; referral is automatic whenever the examiner has
reason to believe that a pattern or practice of discrimination exists. "Reason to believe"
is defined in the OCC Examining Bulletin as follows: [Emphasis added.]

"Reason to believe" exists when a reasonable person might conclude from credible
information in hand (or from additional information that appears likely to be
obtained through further investigation) that illegal discrimination occurred. The
examiner who believes personally there was not discrimination should consider
whether a reasonable person might reach the opposite conclusion. If so, "reason
to believe" exists. [Emphasis added.]

The above "Reason to believe" approach is crucial to determine if a "pattern of

practice" by banking institutions against a person, or persons, exists. It is therefore
important that we allow the law to describe who or what a "PERSON" is or, is not, and
what are the Constitutionally protected rights of each person in dealing with banks,
credit unions, savings and loan associations, etc.

First of all, no one denies that general or limited partnerships, corporations, or sole
proprietors are legal forms of conducting business in California. THEREFORE ...

Who, or What, can be the partners in a California Limited Partnership?

A “Partnership of persons...” - Section 101(9) of the Revised Uniform

Partnership Act (RUPA), approved in 1994 by the Conference of
Commissioners on Uniform State Laws declared a partner must be a person,
and further defined "PERSON" as “an individual, corporation, BUSINESS
TRUST, estate, trust, partnership, joint venture, government, governmental
subdivision, agency or instrumentality, or any other legal or commercial entity.”
Likewise, according to the Uniform Partnership Act (UPA), approved in 1914 by
the Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws, in Section 2 a
person “includes individuals, partnerships, corporations, and other associations”
Finally, Section 101(11) of the revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act
(RUPLA), approved by the Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State
Laws in 1976, and revised in 1985, a person “means a natural person,
partnership, limited partnership (domestic or foreign), trust estate, association
or corporation.” [Emphasis added.]

 What California Code says about Business Trusts?

“Massachusetts,” or business trusts are referred to in California Code as a

PERSON[S], a CORPORATION, a PUBLIC USE FORM, OTHER BUSINESS
ENTITY, a COMPANY, a DOMESTIC LIFE INSURER, an
UNINCORPORATED BUSINESS, an INSTITUTION, a TAXPAYER,
REGISTRANT, ORGANIZATION, a BUSINESS ASSOCIATION, and a
HOLDER OF THE PRIVILEGE just to name a few. Throughout California Code
the “Massachusetts,” or business trust is not discriminated against one single
time from recognition as a legal “PERSON” with all the rights, privileges, and
responsibilities of any natural citizen of the State of California.

internet web site and typing in “business trust” as your Enter keyword(s) here:
then selecting “ALL” for the “Search the” dialog box; hundreds of links to locations
within all the California codes, statutes, and regulations which refer to “business trust”

otherwise], none of which are duplicated.

The following are but a few of the references to "business trust" in California law.
There is not one area of California law that does not reference “business trusts” as a
legally recognized form for conducting business in the State of California.

The California Corporation Laws (Rel. 59-6/95) Pub. 050, Chapter 2, Form of Doing
Business [in California] dedicates sixty-nine pages to the different forms of doing
(conducting) business within the State of California. Section 22.07 states the following:
[Emphasis Added]

§ 22.07.7 Trusts. [1] - “Massachusetts” or Business Trust. The so-called

Massachusetts or business trust is simply an unincorporated business in which the
business assets are owned or held in the name of trustees and are operated or
managed by them for the benefit of holders of certificates of beneficial interest in
the trust. Thus, a business trust actually represents the use of a common law trust
for the purpose of carrying on a business enterprise. See Goldwater v. Oltman,
210 Cal. 408, 292 P. 624 (1930). [Emphasis Added]
