In re Ford

Ruling
Plan was confirmed over objection since plan was reasonable and since debtor's prepetition and postpetition gambling, absent wrongful conduct, did not constitute bad faith.
Procedural posture

An unsecured creditor, filed an objection to confirmation of the debtor's proposed amended chapter 13 plan, arguing the plan was not proposed in good faith and was not feasible under 11 U.S.C. § 1325(a)(3) and (6). The creditor argued a large part of the credit card debt owed to it had been spent for gambling and gambling debts and that the debtor had converted her chapter 7 case to chapter 13 to avoid dischargeability issues.
