In re Pereira
Aug
25
2008
Ruling
Issue of stripping creditor's allegedly wholly unsecured lien had to be handled prior to or during confirmation proceeding.
Procedural posture
The debtors proposed a chapter 13 plan of reorganization that provided for the filing of an adversary proceeding to avoid the allegedly wholly unsecured second trust deed of a bank pursuant to 11 U.S.C.S. § 1322(b)(2). The chapter 13 trustee objected to that provision, arguing that he could not administer the plan until he knew whether the bank was to be treated as a secured or unsecured creditor.

In re Quevedo
Jun
15
2006
Ruling
Creditor's objection to having only secured portion of claim paid was overruled since section 1325(a)'s hanging paragraph only protected purchase money security interests.
Procedural posture
Creditor had a non-purchase money lien on debtor's vehicle. Debtor's chapter 13 plan proposed to pay the secured portion of the creditor's claim in full. The unsecured portion would not be paid. The creditor objected. The issue before the court was one of first impression: whether the creditor's non-purchase money secured claim should be classified as a fully secured claim under the "hanging paragraph"in amended 11 U.S.C. § 1325(a)
