Notice of Conditional Acceptance
Acceptance Upon Proof of Claim
The Strategic Trap
This document agrees to pay the debt - but only if they can prove certain basic facts. Since they typically cannot prove these facts (because no actual money was lent from pre-existing funds), they are trapped:
- If they provide proof: You'll pay (but they can't provide it)
- If they can't provide proof: Admits no valid debt exists
- If they ignore it: Tacit acceptance of your conditions
- If they proceed without proof: Violation of your acceptance terms
This shifts burden of proof to them while appearing cooperative.
Purpose and Effect
A conditional acceptance is a contract law concept. By accepting their claim conditionally, you avoid outright refusal (which can be used against you) while requiring them to substantiate what they claim. This creates a documented record of their inability to prove the foundation of their claim.
The conditions focus on fundamental elements of contract law: consideration, standing, ownership, and disclosure - all areas where traditional lending claims are weakest.

I am ready, willing, and able to pay any lawful debt upon proof of your claim.
Your failure to provide the requested proof within 30 days constitutes:

- Agreement to cease all collection efforts
- Agreement to mark any credit reporting as "Paid/Satisfied"

Legal Basis for Conditions
- Consideration: Every contract requires consideration. Hamer v. Sidway, 124 N.Y. 538 (1891)
- Standing: Only real party in interest has standing. Sprint Communications v. APCC Services, 554 U.S. 269 (2008)
- Burden of Proof: Party asserting claim must prove it. Campbell v. United States, 365 U.S. 85 (1961)
- Full Disclosure: Material facts must be disclosed. Twomey v. Mitchum, Jones & Templeton, 262 Cal.App.2d 690 (1968)
Why They Can't Provide This Proof
Banks create money when they make loans - they don't lend pre-existing money. This is confirmed by:
- Federal Reserve: "Banks create money when they make loans"
- Bank of England: "Banks create deposits when they make loans"
Since no money was actually lent from pre-existing funds (it was created through bookkeeping entries), they cannot prove consideration, loss, or proper disclosure. This conditional acceptance exposes this fundamental issue.
