How to request changes in information issued by the Bureau of the Public Debt
At the Bureau of the Public Debt, we take great care to ensure that the information we present is accurate and useful. This is especially important when the information is "influential" - that is, information that someone might rely on to make a financial decision.
If you think that the influential information we issue may be inaccurate, you may ask us to clarify or correct it.
To do this, you must:
- Tell us exactly what information you want us to clarify or correct.
- Tell us where the information is located (Internet, Investor Brochure, etc.) and, if available, the date we issued it.
- Specify the error(s) that we should clarify or correct and provide us with a proposed clarification, correction or other remedy.
- Provide us with your name and complete mailing address so that we can reply to you.
You can provide this information to us in one of these ways:
You can mail it to us at:
