Subject: [cdcbaa] Court Approval of Redemption financing in Chapter 7?
Somehow in 16 years of practice I have never been required to prepare a
redemption motion that was not a stipulation with the lender or that required
redemption financing. So I have diligently researched our Chief Judge's rulings
on how he determines valuation and obtained sample motions that he has approved
and learned that he literally requires the car to be claimed as exempt in
Schedule C even though it may be significantly underwater.
The debtor is using 722 redemption (US Bank), which provided approval for my
client to borrow funds. The sample motions I am reviewing ask for approval of
the financing from US Bank. Why is it necessary for a Chapter 7 debtor toobtain approval to borrow money postpetition in order to redeem a car? I am
staring at the code, FRBP, local rules and I've looked in practice guides. I do
not see the topic discussed. Perhaps I have just been looking at this too long
today, but have I missed something here?
I can serve it as a scream or die motion for the redemption, but cannot under
the local rules if also seeking approval of financing. I would rather address
this in the shorter time frame of a scream or die motion.
