I wonder whether the creditor has a valid bad faith argument re 521(a)(6)?

Do you know if Judge Klein will allow debtor to cram down the vehicle and pay 0% on the unsecured portion given that she is not entitled to a discharge in the Chapter 13?

I don't think so, since she follows Victorio v. Billingslea 454 B.R. 759
(Bankr. S.D. Cal. July 8, 2011). Victorio was a "Chapter 20" case where
debtor tried to strip off a wholly unsecured second lien and the court did
not allow it. The reasoning was that allowing the strip off would result
in a de facto discharge, in violation of 1328(f).

I don't believe so... As far as I know, Klein is the only judge in LA or
SFV who is on record in support of the Victorio holding. There is a 4th
Circuit opinion, Branigan v. Davis (4th Cir., 2013), which allowed the Ch
20 lien strip. I think that is the latest circuit court opinion on the
subject. In Branigan, the court gave this description of the split:
"Bankruptcy courts are split on whether a debtor may strip off liens in a
Chapter 20 case. Compare In re Fisette, 455 B.R. 177 (BAP 8th Cir. 2011)
(concluding a Chapter 20 debtor may strip off liens), and In re Dang, 467
B.R. 227 (Bankr. M.D. Fla. 2012) (same), and In re Okosisi, 451 B.R. 90
(Bankr. D. Nev. 2011) (same), and In re Tran, 431 B.R. 230, 237 (Bankr.
N.D. Cal. 2010) (same), with In re Gerardin, 447 B.R. 342 (Bankr. S.D. Fla.
2011) (holding that Chapter 20 debtors could not permanently strip off
wholly unsecured junior liens), and In re Victorio, 454 B.R. 759 (Bankr.
S.D. Cal. 2011) (same), and In re Fenn, 428 B.R. 494 (Bankr. N.D. Ill.
2010) (same), and In re Jarvis, 390 B.R. 600 (Bankr. C.D. Ill. 2008)
(same)." Branigan v. Davis, at p. 10.
So we have four bankruptcy courts in favor (one in CA, outside CD), four
bankruptcy courts against (one in CA, outside of CD). Not sure about this,
but I think Branigan is the only appellate case on point.

So we have four bankruptcy courts in favor (one in CA, outside CD), four bankruptcy courts against (one in CA, outside of CD). Not sure about this, but I think Branigan is the only appellate case on point.
