Thank you for your email. The correspondence you refer to in point 1 of
your email was not an Official Information Act request.

 

Regarding parts 2 and 3 of your email:

 

2) Do indeed treasury use the birth certificates of New Zealanders in any
way, as an instrument, bonded or securitized, or as surety against debt?

 

No.

 

3) The Department of Internal affairs denies any such practise but does
the Treasury know then why the certificate is on bonded stock and what the
7 digit identifying number is on the reverse of the document?

 

The Treasury holds no information relevant to your request. Subsequently
we refuse your request under section 18(e) of the Official Information Act
– “…the document alleged to contain the information requested does not
exist…” 

 

You are entitled to contact the Ombudsman regarding this response.

 

Regards

Subject: Official Information request - Negotiable Instrument
clarification

 

Dear The Treasury,

 

I refer to a request made by Sam Stowers in June 2019 that has gone
unanswered, and it reads:

I would like to access my savings bond account and be able to trade my
birth certificate bonds to be able to pay my debts and return my rights as
a person.

Could you guide me through the process. My personal email is [email
address] and hope to hear from you soon.

 

I have 3 questions related to this unanswered request

1) Why has this gone unanswered?

2) Do indeed treasury use the birth certificates of New Zealanders in any
way, as an instrument, bonded or securitized, or as surety against debt?

3) The Department of Internal affairs denies any such practise but does
the Treasury know then why the certificate is on bonded stock and what the
7 digit identifying number is on the reverse of the document?

 

My email address is [6][email address], please note that  these
details are provided solely to confirm my eligibility under the Official
Information Act s12(1). Do not use these details for any correspondence or
clarification about the request. For the purposes of OIA s16(2) my
preferred way of receiving information is by email reply to the FYI.org.nz
address from which you received the request. If you send correspondence to
my private address you will be asked to re-send it to the FYI.org.nz email
address, where it may still be published."

 

Yours faithfully,

 

D J Blair
