CC : Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Furthermore, consumers sole income is Social Security income and protected under compilation of the Social Security Laws Section 207 [ 42 U.S.C. 407 ] ( a ) it states : the right of any person to any future payment under this title shall NOT be transferable or assignable, at law or in equity, and none of the monies paid or payable or rights existing under this title shall be subject to execution, levy, attachment, garnishment, or other legal process, or the operation of any bankruptcy or insolvency law., whether consumer gives permission or not consumer does not have the authority to authorize garnishment of a federally protected account. Under Nebraska Revised Statute Section 25-1563.01. ; the same  Supreme Court ruling applies in this matter. Consumers protected income presents a genuine issue of material fact that if a summary judgment is granted ( after receipt of this CFPB notification ) it shall be construed as a deceptive, frivolous, abusive and harassing process. Consumer is impoverished and refuses to be a victim of unjust enrichment and extortive tactics routinely inflicted by the law firm of Brumbaugh & Quandahl, P.C. Consumer has no fiduciary or contractual obligation to a 'third party ' debt collector because there is no exchange of any benefit or detriment with ANY future collection agencies or collection law firms. There will be no enforceable agreement. No payment history, nor products, or services has been rendered to such entities because these elements do not exist ; there is a 'failure of consideration ' and no valid agreement, contract or fiduciary obligation under federal law that requires payment to such parties. Furthermore, a federal lawsuit will commence if consumers Social Security income is tampered with after receipt of this formal notice presented in the realms of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ). Consumer 's estate does not wish to enter into a dialog with the law firm of Brumbaugh & Quandahl, P.C. as they have heard horror stories regarding interaction with this dreadful law firm. Consumer 's estate wishes all communication with the law firm of Brumbaugh & Quandahl remain within the confines of the CFPB portal. Consumer 's estate  wishes to thank the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) for  its mediation and documentation portal as well as all you do to protect the general public from unethical debt collectors. Thank you.
