In re Rogers
United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Michigan
65 B.R. 1018 (1986)
- Written by Steven Pacht, JD
Facts
Janis Rogers (debtor) filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 13 of the Bankruptcy Code (code). Rogers submitted a four-year payment plan that called for her to retain a 1984 Corvette automobile and to pay the full $17,158.97 secured debt on the Corvette for the next four years. Rogers did not explain why she proposed a four-year plan. Two unsecured creditors objected to the plan, arguing that Rogers would not be using all her disposable income to pay her debts if she retained the Corvette. Additionally, one of the unsecured creditors also objected on the ground that cause did not exist, as required by code § 1322(c), for a plan in excess of three years.
