16 B 31591
The Debtor, appearing pro se, proposed to pay Hale Gardens Condominium Association (the “Association”) $857 through her chapter 13 plan. The Association objected to confirmation of the Debtor’s plan because it did not provide for full payment of the Association’s alleged $14,938.25 secured claim, which claim was comprised mostly of attorneys’ fees related to the Association’s pre-petition attempts to collect assessments and fees from the Debtor. The Debtor argued that she owed the Association only $602, which the Court considered as an objection to the Association’s claim. The Court sustained in part both parties’ objections, finding that the Association had not applied the Debtor’s payments appropriately and that most of the attorneys’ fees were unreasonably incurred by the Association. The Court allowed the Association’s secured claim in the amount of $1,303.49 and held that the Debtor’s chapter 13 plan must provide for the payment of such claim in full pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §§ 1322(b)(2) and 1325(a)(5).
