The Court has adopted a Local Form for the Chapter 13 plan (the "Local Form Plan") which replaces Official Form 113 as permitted by Fed.R.Bankr.P. 3015.1. The Debtor shall use the Local Form Plan, which is available on the Court’s website or from the Bankruptcy Clerk.
A motion to extend the time to file a Chapter 13 plan shall be filed within 14 days after the commencement of the case.
Unless the Court orders otherwise for claims secured by personal property, “adequate protection” under 11 U.S.C. §1326(a)(1)(C) shall be paid by the Debtor to the trustee, as a portion of the payment made under 11 U.S.C. §1326(a)(1), in an amount equal to 1% of the allowed secured claim. Such amount shall be presumed to constitute adequate protection although that presumption may be rebutted. The trustee shall disburse adequate protection payments to creditors with claims secured by personal property as soon as practicable.
For the purposes of subparagraph (e), a “pre-petition arrearage” is defined as the amount asserted in Part 3 of Official Form 410A attached to the proof of claim if filed by a mortgage creditor, less any amount asserted as a projected escrow shortage and late fees.
If, on the petition date, a pre-petition arrearage of more than one monthly mortgage payment exists on a mortgage secured by the Debtor’s principal residential real estate, then the Debtor shall make all payments on the mortgage through the Chapter 13 trustee, creating a mortgage conduit. Such payments made by the Trustee to the mortgage creditor shall include on-going post-petition mortgage installments, pre-petition arrearage, and any uncontested or allowed post-petition costs, fees, and charges asserted by the mortgage creditor. The Trustee shall notify the Debtor 30 days before the Debtor is obligated to resume direct mortgage payments.
The Chapter 13 Trustee shall distribute the original plan, the first and second amended plans and related notice, and file a Certificate of Service. If service of the plan other than by first-class mail is required by Fed.R.Bankr.P. 3012 or 4003, the trustee may require the Debtor to distribute the plan to that entity and provide proof of service to the trustee. The Debtor shall distribute a third amended or subsequent plan and related notice, and file a Certificate of Service.
After the Court has entered an order confirming a plan, the Chapter 13 Trustee shall distribute notice of confirmation as required by Fed.R.Bankr.P. 2002(f)(1)(H) and file a Certificate of Service.
