In re Wright

Ruling
Interest rate on secured claims is calculated by the formula approach not by the contractual interest rate approach.
Procedural posture

Creditor had financed the debtors purchase of a vehicle and took a security interest in that vehicle. The creditor objected to confirmation of the chapter 13 plan proposed by the debtors. At issue was whether, under the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005 ("BAPCPA"), the plan could modify the contractual interest rate applicable to the creditor's secured claim.
