According to 15 usc 1692a ( 1 ) The term Bureau means the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection, XXXX, XXXX and XXXX are assumed to be credit bureaus.

Fact is that i am a federally protected consumer as detailed in 15 usc 1692a ( 3 ) consumer ( 3 ) The term consumer means any natural person obligated or allegedly obligated to pay any debt.

On the date of XX/XX/XXXX Congress enacted HJR-192 to suspend the gold standard and abrogate the gold clause.
