Is any of the non-student debt contingent or unliquidated so that it
wouldnt count toward the debt limits?

debt would get 100%. That would still run up against the language

If the trustee raises the 109(e) debt limit issue, then the court must look only at the schedules... no public policy or "spirit of the law" arguments will apply.

Debtor doesn't want Chapter 11.
Questions:
1) has anyone successfully confirmed a Chapter 13 plan in L.A. with over-the-limit facts where Wolff was in play and was approved? (or even generally)
2) In a Wolff scenario, must the payment to the student loans (or dentist or whomever) be the contractual monthly amount, or is a new proposed one possible (pending objection)?
Thanks!

Potential Chapter 13 L.A. client has massive student loan debt which
puts him over the unsecured debt limit of 109(e). But for the student
loans, it's under the limit. If the plan proposes the student loans are
paid directly per _Wolff_ 22 B.R. 510 (9th Cir, 1982), there's a chance
most or all of the other unsecured debt would get 100%. That would still
run up against the language of 109(e), though there's an argument that
the debt isn't being managed or disbursed by the trustee so it shouldn't
"count," circumventing the letter of the statute for the rationale and
spirit of it. Debtor doesn't want Chapter 11.
Questions:
1) has anyone successfully confirmed a Chapter 13 plan in L.A. with
over-the-limit facts where _Wolff_ was in play and was approved? (or
even generally)
2) In a _Wolff_ scenario, must the payment to the student loans (or
dentist or whomever) be the contractual monthly amount, or is a new
proposed one possible (pending objection)?
Thanks!
