I checked the status of my chap 13 case and saw that Wells Fargo had their claim marked "Secured Outside". We purchased bedroom furniture for my daughter when she got too big for her crib and it was on a 1 year no payments interest free plan. This was exactly one year before we filed before everything caved in on us.
I called the lawyers office and the assistant kept repeating that they can elect to be paid outside the plan but offered no help or explanation. We had set a monthly amount of $400 to the trustee with the only thing being set to pay outside was our car. Here is what I sent to the assistant with no help in her response....
Ok, I left you a message. I have a few questions.
Why is this claim any different than the others? Did they object and win (I saw no notification or paperwork if that happened, shouldn't I have?)
You say to make the monthly payments but what does that mean, the $400 payment to the trustee or a payment to this creditor?
If I am supposed to make an additional payment will my $400 payment to the trustee be reduced to account for the additional funds I will be paying out each month?
I do not understand your short explanation. Can you fill in the blanks here?
The $400 included this claim and now they want to be paid outside? I don't know what that means and if any creditor can do that why don't they? I'm so confused. I am waiting on a call from my actual lawyer and not the assistant.
