MEMORANDUM OPINION

JOAN H. LEFKOW, Bankruptcy Judge.

In this adversary proceeding, the Debtor 1 challenges certain claims filing practices of Ford Motor Credit Company (“Ford Credit”), a lender under many retail installment contracts financing the purchase of automobiles. Because the Debtor would bring this suit as a class action to redress systemic abuses relating to the filing of claims in Chapter 13 cases, some generalized observations will be made before turning to the details of the Debtor’s complaint.
