The debtor’s interest in her ex-husband’s retirement account was exemptible in her bankruptcy even though the funds had not yet transferred and the Judgment of Dissolution order stated that the funds were to be used to pay off the debtor’s credit card debt. In re Steinke, No. 21-90618 (Bankr. C.D. Ill. June 15, 2022).
|
The debtor was entitled to obtain the benefit of her homestead exemption even though, at the time she filed her petition, she had no equity in the property, where “the secured creditor’s agreement to accept less money upon a sale creates equity in the home where none existed before.” Stark v. Pryor (In re Stark), No. 20-4766 (E.D.N.Y. June 28, 2022).
|
The lender’s efforts to coerce the debtors to reopen their bankruptcy case to reaffirm the mortgage agreement violated the discharge injunction where post-discharge reaffirmation was legally unavailable and the court found the lender was merely attempting to collect personally against the debtors. In re Go, No. 21-12657 (Bankr. D. Nev. June 29, 2022).
|
A creditor that fails to object to treatment of its loan in the debtor’s proposed Chapter 13 plan cannot object to modification of that plan where the modification did not change treatment of its loan. In re Powell, No. 21-3069 (Bankr. D.S.C May 16, 2022).
