Loan Modification Court Authorization Ch. 13 LA - I'm confused
Posted: Mon Oct 11, 2010 7:10 pm
I have had this objection. In responding to the Trustee's objections, I simply say "Debtor does not intend to modify his/her mortgage at this time" (assuming that is the case). I think this will satisfy the Trustee, unless the plan is infeasible without a modification.

(Although, after some of the emails here, I'm not even sure about that requirement)
