I was forced to mail my actual drivers license instead of a copy! They said they put it in the mail and it has been over a week and I still haven’t gotten it back! I knew this was going to happen and the last person I talked to was not helpful and very rude and hung up on me while I was in the middle of a question.

If they Give you a cause for denying you you can sue the federal government it’s Ashley the federal reserve for pain and suffering and for fraud. They cannot deny something that you own and have an entitled right to. File a civil complaint with your state attorney general you also need to file a complaint with the federal government. You have to file a claim in order for them to do something about it. Get the “redemption manual” Should be able to download it online it tells you the truth of what the Social Security really does. What they do is they take in your money they invest it without your knowledge they grow it to huge numbers and the politicians and up having a free-for-all with it. Not just the politicians but the insurance companies, the banks, Utility companies ECT. Probably have about $10 million in your account after they’re done investing it in their offshore account at Citibank located in Jersey channel Islands. If you put in the routing number at city Bank New York, US Bank New York Bank Of America New York or West Virginia and you put in your Social Security number you’ll find that there’s an actual account there. And they all are dipping into it and waiting for you to die so they can take the whole account. If you challenge The banks who are the fiduciary for the federal reserve, he said a claim on all your accounts he may just well have more money than you could possibly imagine but you have to do some work. Like I said get the redemption manual and go to the website I LUV.com he will find that all the banks were foreclosed on and they’ve been operating illegally. They also have information and Social Security accounts. If you get the redemption manual It will have all the information in there. What the federal reserve banks, the government, is doing is fraud they’re basically running a ring similarly to the mafia but they somehow created it to make it legal. You were also owned by the state as soon as you sign the birth certificate over you signed yourself over to the state US citizens belong to the federal government. We were supposed to be state citizens per the constitution. I will I’ll be in the redemption manual. Good luck and read read read
I AM OUTRAGED THAT I WAS DENIED THE CHILD SURVIVOR'S BENEFITS THAT I AM ENTITLED TO. In the letter that they sent me denying my benefits, that claim that I said that I had become disabled on April 30, 1993, (3 days before my 22nd birthday), so I was ineligible to receive benefits because I hadn't been disabled long enough. I never said such a thing. Why would I say that I had become disabled on that date when I have been receiving SSI since September 1992, and have been officially declared disabled since September 25, 1987 when I was 16 years old?
got a call today 8/5/19 at 200pm cst. from 1 940 209 0985. stated there was a judgement against my social security, was a recorded message to call back at the listed number. called back, man with foreign accent answered as officer hinckle. advised him I was calling the FBI, FCC and IRS, he laughed and hung up. this is a live number, so I would suggest getting in gear and finding these people. by the way, your phone help line in this situation is pathetic.
