Without reading the actual documents it is difficult to determine what
exactly your pc did. Most likely the "assignment" is the granting of a
security interest in the royalties until payment of the loan.
If we assume that is the case then what you have is a secured creditor and
you can treat them per the code.
You can certainly propose a plan that pays this creditor 4.5% over 5 years
since 4.5% is within the range in *Till.* On the other hang, it is possible
for the union to come back and say the rate should be higher. That is
something you should warn your client about.
The other issue I know much less about because chapter 13 practice is very
weird!! Hypothetically speaking, if you are committing $1,400 per month
towards repayment of the loan, what are you doing with the other $600? In
the Chapter 11 context (and imo, in the Ch 13 world too), this is cash
collateral which may not be spent absent compliance with 363(c)(2). I have
a technical way around this problem but in practice, what people do is just
spend the money and confirm the plan and no one notices.
