Secured Credit Card in Chapter 13

Banker's right of offset is in the Civil Code, I believe. But in some of
those cases the creditor, i.e. the credit card company, is NOT THE SAME
ENTITY as the bank. I have never explored whether ANOTHER entity related to
the bank can take advantage of the banker's right of offset. Consider that
possibility.

Subject: [cdcbaa] Secured Credit Card in Chapter 13
So,
I'm getting into the practice of objecting to POCs in Chapter 13 and I'm
stumped on this one.
My client has a secure credit card with Wells Fargo, N.A. who, by the way,
says that they file POCs on everything [just great....].
My client has $5000.00 on deposit and Wells closed the account and file the
POC.
They did not include a copy of the application, they only submitted a recent
statement; they did not describe the property securing the claim and only
marked the box "other" and stated the value at $5000.00
I know I could object on a 3001(c) because they did not include the contract
to secure their interest.
I'm just checking in as to whether it is your practice to object to these
secured credit card claims on behalf of the clients, or just let it play out
and they get their cash on deposit after the case is closed.
Your input is greatly appreciated. Thanks
