Student Loan Dischargeability: All or Nothing ?

 

A popular misconception is that a student loan is either entirely dischargeable or non-dischargeable.  However, it is possible to partially discharge a student loan debt, provided the debtor satisfies the burden of meeting the requirements of all three prongs of the “undue hardship” test. [In re Saxman (9th Cir. 2003) 325 F3d 1168, 1173–1175; In re Carnduff (9th Cir. BAP 2007) 367 BR 120, 130–131; In re Craig (9th Cir. 2009) 579 F3d 1040, 1044]

Negative Amortization Plans May be Available in Chapter 11 Real Estate Cases

Negative amortization plans do not necessarily violate the "fair and equitable" rule when the DIP defers payments of interest on its debt obligation where the deferred amount can be capitalized at a rate of interest which enables the deferred amount to equal the present value of the creditor's allowed secured claim.  Great Western Bank v. Sierra Woods Group (9th Cir. 1992) 953 F2d 1174, 1176-1177.  The "fair and equitable" rule, otherwise known as the "absolute priority rule" is one of the two prongs of a test that must be met to confirm a non-consensual plan of reorganization in Chapter 11.

The Politics of Chapter 11 Voting

Chapter 11 Plans are confirmed by classes of claims that vote to accept or reject the plan of reorganization.  If all accept the plan [either because they are unimpaired or vote affirmatively to accept the plan], then that plan is considered a consensual plan.  A non-consensual plan can still be "crammed down" on a class of claims by meeting other requirements [i.e. the "unfair discrimination" and "fair and equitable" prongs].  How is acceptance by a class determined ?  Acceptance by a class of claims is determined by 2/3 of the dollar amount and more than 1/2 of the number of claims who actually vote.  Thus, it is imperative to know who is likely to vote and who is not likely to vote.

A Trustee's Deadline to Object to Exemptions is Absolutely Absolute

A Trustee has 30 days to object to a debtor's claim of exemption.  F.R.B.P. 4003(b)(4) requires the trustee or any creditor to file an objection to exemptions within 30 days after the conclusion of the meeting of creditors held pursuant to Rule 2003(a), or the filing of any amendment to the list or supplemental schedules unless, within such period, further time is granted by the court.
