eNotes
electronic negotiable notes are not legal - See 15 USC 7003
Written articles from the past reveal that by design, this
electronic negotiable note eScam was by anticipation, and
included into E-SIGN in
15 USC 7021.
(1) TRANSFERABLE RECORD.—The term
‘‘transferable record’’ means an electronic record that—
(A) would be
a note under Article 3 of the Uniform Commercial Code if
the electronic record were in writing;
(B) the issuer of the electronic
record expressly has agreed is a transferable record; and
(C) relates to a loan secured by
real property.
The Mortgage Bankers Association anticipated electronic
promissory notes to be included in a revision of the Uniform
Commercial Code, which is clearly visible in 15 USC 7021. However
the Uniform Commercial Code did not include electronic promissory
notes and as it appears, the E-SIGN committee failed to remove
(1)(A) in 15 USC 7021 because the Uniform Commercial Code is
excluded from E-SIGN/UETA as cited in 15 USC 7003.
It was clear in 2000 that there was a great concern with electronic
promissory notes being lawful. The Cheque truncation mishap
was recognized by the 108th Congress when it enacted the
Check 21 Act in 2003, three years after E-SIGN was enacted.
To this day, electronic promissory Notes are not included in the
Uniform Commercial Code.
So, why is this verbiage still within E-SIGN.UETA? Why is this
verbiage still within State(s) E-SIGN/UETA equivalents?
E-SIGN was for electronic signatures and
UETA was for electronic transactions.
ESIGN clearly intended that, with respect to any transaction,
a signature, contract or other record relating to such transaction
may not be denied legal effect, validity or enforcement solely
because it is in electronic form and that a contract relating to
such transaction may not be denied legal effect, validity or
enforceability solely because an electronic signature or electronic
record was used in its formation.
