REQUEST TO INCUR POST-CONFIRMATION DEBT TO FINANCE A MOTOR VEHICLE IN A CHAPTER 13 CASE

Rule No: 
3015-2

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 section 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 section, the debtor is not precluded from submitting the request to the court pursuant to, and in the manner provided by, Fed. R. Bankr. P. 4001(c), including noting the motion for hearing pursuant to Local Bankruptcy Rule 9013-1(d)(2)(E).
