DECISION AND ORDER ON APPEAL
LAVIEN, Bankruptcy Judge.
This appeal presents a single issue of law: whether a cause of action arising under the Consumer Credit Protection Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1601 et seq., comes within “any property” which may be claimed as exempt by a debt- or within the meaning of 11 U.S.C. § 522(d)(5). This matter comes before this Panel following the Decision of the Bankruptcy Court sustaining Appellee’s objection to Appellants’ claim of exemption which they had set forth in their joint Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition. This issue is one of first impression in this Circuit.
