In re Williams
Jan
23
2012
Ruling
Debtor ordered to increase plan payments after 401(k) loan was repaid or to convert or face dismissal.
Procedural posture
The chapter 13 trustee filed an objection to the confirmation of below median debtor's proposed chapter 13 plan, arguing that, at the time the debtor's repayment of a loan to his 26 U.S.C.S. § 401(k) was repaid, he should be required to increase his payments for the benefit of creditors, given his increased disposable income pursuant to 11 U.S.C.S. § 1325(b)(3).

In re Pelkey
Mar
25
2010
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).

In re Marshall
Jun
09
2009
Ruling
Debtors could claim deduction for payments on home equity loan they intended to avoid.
Procedural posture
The trustee filed an objection to the above-median chapter 13 debtors' amended plan, challenging the debtors' deducting, on their Official Bankr. Form B22C, an expense for their contractually obligated payment on a home equity line of credit, pursuant to 11 U.S.C.S. §§ 1325(b)(3) and 707(b)(2)(A)(iii)(I), although they claimed the payment was unsupported by any equity and proposed to cram down and avoid that lien, and thus the payment.
