Question presented

Circuit Confusion exists in the matter of Promissory Notes. This Court must resolve this issue and set one stand­ ard for all 50 states. Failure to do so may lead to the economic confusion in the 1600’s that led England to create the Statute of Frauds. This issue is: “Is a fully legible Promissory Note (Contract) required to collect on a debt?” “If a Promissory Note is not required to collect on a debt what document substitutes for the terms and conditions to enforce collection of the loan?”
