    MOTION TO DISMISS FOR FAILURE TO STATE A CLAIM with Brief In Support

    Filed April 21, 2017

    See 11 U.S.C. Case 1:17-cv-00638-ODE-LTW Document 9 Filed 04/21/17 Page 12 of 23 - 13 - § 1325(a)(5) (describing how secured claims may be provided for in the plan); In re Curtis, 322 B.R. 470, 481 (Bankr. D. Mass. 2005) (explaining that under 11 U.S.C. § 1325(a)(5) “modification may include converting a secured claim to an unsecured claim, even on a debtor’s principal residence, where the claim is wholly unsecured” and that the claim may be discharged); see also Horsch, 94 F. Supp. 3d at 665 (describing part of putative class as Chapter 13 debtors who continued to pay their mortgages in order to stave off foreclosure). Further, some bankruptcy courts construing 11 U.S.C. § 1328’s exception for long term debts treated under § 1322(b)(5) have held that long term debts provided for in the plan, which have no pre-petition arrearages, like Plaintiff’s debt to Wells Fargo, are not excepted from the bankruptcy discharge. See In re Rogers, 494 B.R. 664, 669 (Bankr. E.D.N.C. 2013) (explaining that a Chapter 13 bankruptcy discharge is broad in nature, and a debt is not excepted under 11 U.S.C. § 1322(b)(5) unless the plan provides for curing pre-petition arrearages).

  2. Craggs et al v. Ditech Financial Llc

    MOTION TO DISMISS FOR FAILURE TO STATE A CLAIM

    Filed December 16, 2016

    The Discharge Order tracks the plain language of 11 U.S.C. § 1328(a), which excludes from a discharge order any debt “provided for under section 1322(b)(5).” 11 U.S.C. 1328(a)(1). Section 1322(b)(5) permits a debtor in a Chapter 13 case to “provide for the curing of any default within a reasonable time and maintenance of payments while the case is pending on any unsecured claim or secured claim on which the last payment is due after the date on which the final payment under the plan is due[.]”

    Instead, there is no court order or other document that lays out the scope of Plaintiffs’ discharge and its specific impacts on the Wells Fargo debt or otherwise states that the Wells Fargo debt is not discharged. Instead, the discharge order does not specify which debts are actually discharged, stating “A discharge under 11 U.S.C. § 1328(a) is granted to: John Patrick Archuleta [and] Gina Marie Archuleta,” and then listing broad categories of debts that may not be discharged. See In re Archuleta, 1:12-bk-73077, Doc 49, (Bankr. N.D. Ga. Jan. 15, 2016).

    Yet, it does not appear that Plaintiff’s plan falls into any exceptions to discharge, not even the exception for plans that provide for the curing of defaults and maintenance of payments because Plaintiff did not have a pre-petition arrearage to cure, even if she was maintaining payments. See 11 U.S.C. § 1328(a)(1); In re Jones-Bentley, 1:11-bk-79169, Doc. 2 at 4 (Bankr. N.D. Ga. Oct. 6, 2011).
