Adequate Protection
 

For Cases Filed Prior to October 17th  or cases filed after October 17th for real property or non PMSI secured claims. 

For cases filed AFTER October 17th, the trustee is automatically paying adequate protection payments to all PMSI secured creditors who retain a security interest in personal property pursuant to General Order 20.  However, the adequate protection payments will not be made until the creditor files a Proof of Claim in the case.


The Trustee will do monthly pre confirmation adequate protection payments upon receipt of an Order approved by the Court.  In order for a creditor to be qualified to receive such a payment the following must apply: 

1.     The creditor must be set up in the Plan with a specified monthly payment.

2.     The creditor must have filed a Proof of Claim with the Court.  The Trustee will not pay adequate protection to a creditor who has not filed a claim.

 The only approved language by the trustee is as follows.

If the Creditor is a creditor which will be paid in full during the life of the Plan, the approved language is as follows:

IT IS ACCORDINGLY ORDERED that as adequate protection pending confirmation, the Trustee shall forthwith disburse to Creditor on the first of every month monthly adequate protection payments in the amount of the plan payment specified by the debtor and monthly payments thereafter until the case is confirmed.

Please note:  All payments that are sent will be credited to the claim amount and will be deducted from the total allowed claim.  Interest will not begin to be paid again until after confirmation of the Plan.

If the Creditor is a creditor that has a “Long Term Continuing Debt” (Most commonly a mortgage or mobile home payment) the approved language is as follows:

IT IS ACCORDINGLY ORDERED that as adequate protection pending confirmation, the Trustee shall forthwith disburse to Creditor on the first of every month monthly adequate protection payments with the first payment representing monthly payments from the date of filing forward and monthly payments thereafter until the case is confirmed.

Approved Abandonment Language:

In the event that the proceeds of any sale conducted pursuant to a foreclosure proceeding exceeds the amount of the foreclosure judgment, then Movant shall forward said proceeds to the Trustee for payment to creditors.
