In re Pelkey

Ruling
Above-median debtors entitled to vehicle ownership expense deductions for autos owned free and clear.
Procedural posture
The chapter 13 trustee objected to confirmation of the debtors' plan. At issue was whether the above-median chapter 13 debtors, who did not have any actual auto loan or lease payments for their two vehicles, could nonetheless deduct the amounts shown in the IRS Standards for vehicle ownership expense in calculating the amount of projected disposable income, under 11 U.S.C.S. § 1325(b)(3).
