Central District Consumer Bankruptcy Attorney's Association

Dear Catherine,
A confirmed plan is binding on all creditors (see 11 U.S.C. 1141(a)). Therefore, the creditor, through its servicer, is in contempt of the order confirming the plan. As long as you have a paper trail of attempting to resolve the problem outside of the Court, you may wish to file a motion to reopen as a prelude to filing an OSC motion against the creditor and its servicer. If you lack a paper trail, then first send the letter with some sort of deadline for compliance. If the servicer continues its behavior after the deadline has passed, then file the motion to reopen.
Good luck,
Nick

Dear Listmates:
Chapter 11 plan confirmed 2013. Case administratively closed 2014. Creditor Servicer for Debtors home moved Debtors file to Loss Mitigation Department, file NOD and call Debtor to collect Default Amount on Original Contract. Debtor speaks with Servicers' Representatives, they admit Debtor is paying pursuant to Plan, yet Servicer continues to file NOD and call Debtor demanding payment of a default amount that is being cured under the plan.
My thoughts are to first send a letter to Servicers Attorney.
Debtor is very nervous. Has been fighting to keep properties since 2009. route to protect Debtor? Reopen case?
Thanks for your thoughts in advance.

John:
Since the property is oversecured, 506b allows attys fees to be added to claim. I haven't looked in a while, but I do not believe the fees are given an administrative priority.
If there is no impairment, then the amount would be due as soon as the plan is confirmed, like any other charge or advance made by the lender. You need to amend the plan and impair the claim.

Here's what Rutter says as to how you leave a class unimpaired:

While 506(b) does allow attorneys' fees and costs, you can still attack them if not reasonable. You can also object to the claim and keep that from increasing the fees in and of itself by getting an order ruling that the creditor gets no more fees and yourself get fees when you prevail - under In re SNTL, which allows enforcement of Cal. CC 1717.

As a David Tilem associate, I feel like I should delve into this more
before answering but what the heck, if I'm wrong, it just means a visit
from the big guy early in the morning.
I would say in situations where you have oversecured creditors, you better
do your best to confirm the Plan right away. I believe they are entitled to
attorneys' fees for two reasons.
The first reason is that if they update their proof of claim to include
attorneys' fees. What basis do you have to object? 502(b)(2) specifically
excludes unmatured interest, but there is no mention anywhere of attorneys'
fees as allowed by the contract. See Judge Bluebond's case:

The post was migrated from Yahoo.

Opposing counsel has racked up $16,000 in attorney's fees on negotiations
regarding his creditor's oversecured real property. The note has an
attorney's fee provision. The plan provides for no impairment to the
claim; it's paid as if the debtor is not in bankruptcy.
The creditor now claims that the attorney's fees must be paid in full on
the effective date of the plan. Is that correct?

Subject: Re: [cdcbaa] Chapter 11 Question
It depends on the taxing authoritys patience. Its remedy against late-paid
taxes is to file an administrative claim, or find a reason to dismiss. In a
chapter 13, the IRS tries to dismiss plans where the debtors dont pay
during the plan, but that motion usually requires at least two years of
post-petition pyramiding to be successful, and its premised on plan
prohibitions against incurring more post-petition debt without court
approval. I know of nothing in the code requiring timely payment of taxes,
but the language of the plan may control.
Short answer: how long is the deferral? If its two months, I dont think
theres a problem. If its two years, watch out.

Excellent point, but alas, the case was filed in April, 2010. Apparently
Riverside County requires interim payments throughout the FY. Their threat
to impose a tax lien is, of course, hollow, but ........ I don't want to
miss anything.

Is the entire tax period, ie. tax year, post-petition? I think personal
property taxes, like real property taxes, are for the fiscal year July
1-June 30.

DIP wants to defer payment of unsecured (personal) property taxes. I see
requirement to file returns - 521(j). I see creditor's right to seek
payment of admin claim - 503. Is there anything which requires a debtor to
TIMELY pay post petition taxes?
