liibulletin: Credit Agricole Indosuez v. Rossiyskiy Kredit Bank The Court held that Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65 embodied the principles of equity jurisdiction The legislature alone holds the power to increase the district court's authority to issue preliminary injunctions that would essentially freeze the defendant debtor's assets. Resisting Plaintiffs' urge for judicial innovation, the Court emphasized that C.P.L.R. § 6301 was not intended as a departure from the longstanding equity principle that a creditor who has not yet obtained a money judgment has no right to restrain the debtor's use or transfer of assets.

Identity Theft Victims Guide If your identity thief is aggressive and gives no indication of ceasing to use your identity to obtain credit, and if you live in one of the above-listed states, consider using the security freeze to curtail access to your credit file. As a result of identity theft, your credit report is likely to contain negative information about your bill-payment history, and your credit score has probably been lowered considerably, making it difficult if not impossible to obtain new credit yourself. Keep the phone number of your investigator handy and give it to creditors and others who require verification of your case. www.privacyrights.org /fs/fs17a.htm   (572 words)

State Breach and Freeze Laws Security freeze laws allow consumers to prevent identity theft by freezing their credit reports from access for new credit.

Security breach notification laws require companies and other entities that have lost data to notify affected consumers. www.pirg.org /consumer/credit/statelaws.htm   (454 words)

The News-Press: Opinion Another example is a California law which allows consumers to "freeze" their credit records so that only authorized entities, such as banks, have the ability to access records. Identity theft or identity fraud is the criminal act of taking a victim's identity for the purpose of obtaining credit, stealing money from a victim's bank accounts, applying for loans or credit cards in the victim's name, or establishing accounts with utility or other companies. The bill reclassifies identity theft to include instances in which an individual misrepresents himself or herself as a law enforcement officer or employee of a bank, credit card company, or any other misrepresentation in order to obtain personal information. www.news-press.com /apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20050820/OPINION/508200442/1015   (903 words)

Dixon v. Jyske Bank -- Emma Corbin in London - www.ezboard.com The claimants now seek to pass on their loss to the defendant bank, essentially on the footing that the bank failed to warn them about the probably fraudulent nature of this enterprise, a warning which would have enabled them to freeze the funds and thus escape liability for their ultimate loss. At your specific request as to whether this Bank has been involved in the attempted trading of either 'Financial Letters of Credit' and or 'Prime Bank Guarantees', you are aware that this is the fact. First because these alleged instruments appeared to be of a banking nature; prime bank guarantees, short-term letters, standby letters of credit and transferable letters of credit are instruments which one would expect the banking community to know about. p067.ezboard.com /fdiligizerfrm5.showMessage?topicID=253.topic   (903 words)

Forbes.com - Magazine Article But lead prosecutor John Moscow said the Manhattan District Attorney's office would have to determine whether the bail money was in fact gained as part of the fraud Kozlowski was charged with last week, which led prosecutors to freeze his assets. Market cheer over Muehlemann's abrupt departure was muted by worries over CS's future, as the group put itself under the control of joint chief executives Oswald "Ossi" Gruebel, head of CS's financial services unit, and John Mack, head of the Credit Suisse First Boston investment bank. Credit Suisse Group (nyse: CSR - news - people) axed its top executive Lukas Muehlemann on Thursday but reaffirmed the controversial financial services strategy he championed as it bet on two old banking hands to revive its sagging fortunes. www.forbesimg.com /2002/09/20/0920facesam_print.html   (786 words)

Wed, 26 Nov 1997: Moshe Zak: America's December Pressure The Clinton administration wants to avoid extreme anti-American decisions at this conference, which it aims to do by creating a mini-crisis between Jerusalem and Washington, or alternatively squeezing concessions from Israel for which the US will get the credit. Nor should we accept the date suggested by the secretary of state as the last possible date for an Israeli-Palestinian agreement on the extent of the second redeployment and a settlement freeze (a freeze labeled as "avoiding unilateral steps liable to provoke the other side"). These two dates are a result of the approaching meeting of the congress of Islamic nations in Teheran on December 9. www.io.com /~jewishwb/iris/archives/8.html   (816 words)

The IMF Korea Bailout The freeze on credit demanded by the IMF has contributed to crippling the construction industry and the services economy: "banks are increasingly reluctant to provide loans to businesses while bracing for the central bank's tighter money supply" (Sah Dong seok, "Credit Woes Cripple Business Sectors", Korea Times, 28 December 1997). The IMF program contributes to fracturing the chaebols which are now invited to establish "strategic alliances with foreign firms" (meaning their eventual control by foreign capital). Since the onslaught of the debt crisis in the early 1980s, the IMF has played a central role in exchange rate policy often requiring indebted Third World countries to devalue their currency by 50 percent as a "pre-condition" for the subsequent negotiation of a loan agreement. www.kimsoft.com /1997/sk-imfc.htm   (142 words)

FTC Sweep Protects Consumers from "Dialing for Deception" In all 11 complaints, the FTC is either seeking - or has received - relief ranging from temporary restraining orders to preliminary or permanent injunctions, as well as a freeze of the defendants' assets and the appointment of a receiver to oversee their finances pending trial, where appropriate. In filing each complaint (and accepting the consent with Nissan Bancorp) the FTC is seeking - or has received - relief to immediately stop the violations alleged, freeze the defendants' assets pending trial, and/or obtain a receiver to ensure all assets are maintained pending trial. Among those charged were the purveyors of advance-fee loans and credit cards, at-home medical billing programs, work-at-home envelope stuffing schemes, and a "consumer protection" agency that was, in reality, no more than a shill for a vending machine business opportunity. www.ftc.gov /opa/2002/04/dialing.htm   (1746 words)

Senate Democratic Caucus I've written several laws that prevent identity theft, including laws that give you the right to freeze access to your credit reports to stop identity thieves from getting loans and credit cards in your name and laws that stop businesses and government agencies from using Social Security numbers as public identifiers. Junk faxing will be illegal in California as of January 1, 2006, under a law authored to protect you from having to pay - with your own fax paper and toner - to receive faxed advertisements you didn't ask for and don't want.

Margin Rule Comment Letter As noted in the 1995 SIA Comment Letter, prior interpretations of the Board and its staff have provided limited interpretive relief for extensions of credit by a broker-dealer directly to an issuer (not an affiliate) to purchase securities that will be retired immediately upon delivery to the issuer. Moreover, the requirement that a creditor accept in good faith a statement of intent from the customer does not stand alone. The Trade Associations recommend that the Board amend Regulation T to permit a guarantee of a customer's account to be given effect under Regulation T to the extent permitted by a creditor's SRO 10. www.bondmarkets.com /story.asp?id=1391   (233 words)

USATODAY.com - Is freezing your credit the way to safeguard your ID? The Washington law limits the credit freeze to victims of identity theft and residents whose personal information has been compromised by a computer security breach.

FTC Obtains Preliminary Injunction Against Marketers of Bogus Cancer-Cure "Supreme Greens" In addition, the complaint alleges that DMC, ITV, and Barrett failed to disclose that the infomercial promoting Supreme Greens is a paid commercial advertisement and not an independent television program, and that these defendants also charged consumers' credit cards for automatic product shipments without authorization. Further, the Court stated that if the accounting or additional evidence demonstrates that the defendants have concealed or are likely to conceal assets, it will consider additional FTC requests for the relief necessary to ensure the enforceability of any judgment, such as the appointment of a receiver or an asset freeze. The preliminary injunction also prohibits the defendants from selling or distributing products, programs, or services by means of a continuity program without first obtaining the express, informed consent of consumers to participate in that program before any shipment is made. www.ftc.gov /opa/2004/07/dmc.htm   (739 words)
