Is the $1.3 trillion in bank-issued credit card debt weighing down business owners a legitimate obligation, or is it based on a systemic banking fallacy? Tommy Kilpatrick, an author and entrepreneur with a background in accounting, joins Harmonious at Lunch to present a startling claim: your bank-issued credit card debt may not be a real debt at all.

After being left with $85,000 in credit card debt from a business deal gone wrong, Tommy challenged the banks in federal court. He argues that without an invoice or a signed promissory note, banks have no legal standing for the debt they claim you owe. He breaks down the difference between a true debt (like from a store card) and what he calls "alleged" bank-issued debt, explaining the process he used to have his balance completely removed from his credit report in about 45 days, with no tax consequences.
