In Re Peacock
United States Bankruptcy Court, N.D. Texas
1Opinion of the Court
MEMORANDUM OPINION
JOHN FLOWERS, Bankruptcy Judge.
The issue in this case arises from a novel application of the “cram down” provisions of Chapter 13 to lease agreements which the debtor asserts are intended as security devices. Chapter 13 authorizes the Court to confirm a plan in which the present value of any deferred payments to a secured creditor equals the valúe of the collateral, 11 U.S.C. §§ 1325(a)(5), 506(a). The issue here is whether claims arising under the debtor’s lease agreements may be treated as secured claims for purposes of the § 1325(a)(5) “cram down”.
