- 11 U.S.C.
In re Kafi
Mar
12
2009
Ruling
Debtor could not claim vehicle expense under IRS standards but only actual expenses of vehicles owned free and clear.
Procedural posture
In calculating disposable income, a chapter 7 bankruptcy debtor claimed vehicle ownership expense deductions for vehicles for which the debtor made no loan or lease payments. The United States Trustee moved to dismiss the debtor's case, asserting that the claimed expenses were not allowable and that the debtor's proper disposable income created a presumption of chapter 7 bankruptcy abuse under 11 U.S.C.S. § 707(b)(2).
