-> I can't find what you're referring to. Can you cite to the language that
makes you believe that "Home State Bank provides that the ONLY solution for
a post-C7-discharge mortgage is to file a C13 or a C11"?
it's more a feeling i have after thinking about it, but the language that
leads me there is mostly the following...
at 82-83 ...
... A mortgage is an interest in real property that secures a creditor's
right to repayment. But unless the debtor and creditor have provided
otherwise, the creditor ordinarily is not limited to foreclosure on the
mortgaged property should the debtor default on his obligation; rather, the
creditor may in addition sue to establish the debtor's *in personam* liability
for any deficiency on the debt and may enforce any judgment against the
debtor's assets generally. See 3 R. Powell, The Law of Real Property 467
(1990). A defaulting debtor can protect himself from personal liability by
obtaining a discharge in a Chapter 7 liquidation. 83*83 See 11 U. S. C.
727. However, such a discharge extinguishes *only* "the personal liability
of the debtor." 11 U. S. C. 524(a)(1). Codifying the rule of *Long* v. *
Bullard,* 117 *U. S.* 617

Philip,

a post-C7-discharge mortgage is to file a C13 or a C11"?
I think that even if you provide the language, it will be dicta only since
the Court itself phrased it like this:
"*80 JUSTICE MARSHALL delivered the opinion of the Court.
The issue in this case is whether a debtor can include a mortgage lien in a
Chapter 13 bankruptcy reorganization plan once the personal obligation
secured by the mortgaged property has been discharged in a Chapter 7
proceeding. We hold that the mortgage lien in such a circumstance remains a
"claim" against the debtor that can be rescheduled under Chapter 13."
this is from my google scholar:

one reasonable, but scary, reading of Home State Bank is that the C7
Discharge Order "freezes" the lien in place.
this is why i am concerned that there can be NO attack on the lien/deed of
trust to quiet title to the property outside of the Bankruptcy Code.
i will be happy to be disabused of my unfortunate interpretation of Home
State Bank - which is otherwise a great decision and provides the basis for
so-called "Chapter 20" (and impliedly "Chapter 18") cases.
we tend to think of Home State Bank as providing the opportunity for a
Chapter 13 (or Chapter 11) cure of the arrears of a mortgage, but it may be
more accurate to say that Home State Bank provides that the ONLY solution
for a post-C7-discharge mortgage is to file a C13 or a C11.
in other words, after a C7 discharge, NO quiet title action may lie outside
of the Bankruptcy Code.
show me why i am wrong please.

Hello Philip:
I'm assuming Catherine's facts include the debtor having a discharge and the bankruptcy case is closed.
Johnson v. Home State Bank, 501 US 78, allows a debtor to file a second bankruptcy and include an in rem obligation, whose personal liability has been discharged, in his chapter 13 plan. It doesn't prevent a creditor from pursuing an in rem action against the discharged debtor who has not gone back into bankruptcy.
In fact, Home State Bank actually assumes without discussion that the creditor can pursue the discharged debtor outside of bankruptcy: "Notwithstanding the discharge, the Bank's right to proceed against petitionerin rem
