REQUEST TO INCUR POST-CONFIRMATION DEBT TO FINANCE
U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Washington
Text
A MOTOR VEHICLE IN A CHAPTER 13 CASE In a chapter 13 case, a debtor may make a written request directly to the chapter 13 trustee for authority to incur post-confirmation debt for the purpose of financing the purchase of a motor vehicle. A debtor receiving the chapter 13 trustee’s approval to incur post-confirmation debt under this rule does not need to also obtain a court order authorizing the debt. If the chapter 13 trustee denies the debtor’s request to incur post-confirmation debt under this rule, the debtor is not precluded from submitting the request to the court by motion pursuant to Local Bankruptcy Rule 9013-1.
