Complaint narrative:
The Department of Education/OSLA continues to report a debt not owed. Under the UCC any simple contract when presented with legal tender must be XXXX outed or there is room for discharge. The Department of Education never loaned me anything therefore there was nothing of value exchanged. If there is evidence to prove that this allege debt is actually owed provide me with the book entry that proves it was a debit and not a credit upon the books of the BANK. Please note I am NOT asking for the simple contract that I signed obligating me to perform but the accounting ledger from the bank that proves this debt is actually valid and due.
