Ch. 13 vehicle valuation

Technically, the plan will provide for the "replacement" value (think "retail") of the vehicle as secured and the remainder as unsecured. This is effective upon the filing of the case -- unless there is a long period of time between the filing of the case and the filing of an amended plan.

Related question - if the car payment is now in the plan, at what point can the debtor cease making car payments? When the plan is filed, after the first plan payment, after confirmation? I have a few clients who want to cramdown their vehicles through their plan but they don't want to "double pay". Thank you.
