Su abogado de bancarrota en Miami puede aconsejarle que su hipoteca no puede ser modificada porque su hipoteca est\u00e1 asegurada en cierta medida.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: Prata; font-size: 20px;\">However, when discussing what it means to have a security interest in something other than the primary or principal residence of the debtor, we have to look at the loan documents. \u00a0In Chapter 13 and Chapter 11, the Bankruptcy Code states that claims secured only by real property constituting the principal residence of the debtor cannot be modified. \u00a011 U.S.C. \u00a71322(b)(2); 11 U.S.C. \u00a71123(b)(5). \u00a0The anti-modification provisions in Chapter 13 and Chapter 11 should be interpreted similarly. \u00a0In re Benafel, 461 B.R. 581,586 (9th Cir. BAP 2011). \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: Prata; font-size: 20px;\">When creditor\u2019s claim is secured on something more than just the debtor\u2019s principal or primary residence, the creditor loses the protection of the anti-modification provisions. \u00a0Such security beyond the principal or primary residence have constituted escrow accounts and personal checking accounts. <\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: Prata; font-size: 20px;\">In re Crystian, 197 B.R. 803, 806-807 (Bankr.W.D.Pa.1996). \u00a0Such additional security eliminating the anti-modification provisions have also included security interests in appliances, machinery, furniture and equipment. In re Hammond, 27 F.3d 52, 55-56 (3d Cir,1994); In re Johns, 37 F.3d 1021, 1023-1024 (3d Cir.1994); In re Sapos, 967 F.2d 918, 922 (household appliances and wall to wall carpeting); Wilson v. Commonwealth Mortgage Corp., 895 F.2d 123, 128-129 (3d Cir.1990); In re Davis, 989 F.2d 208, 212-213 (6th Cir.1993). \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: Prata; font-size: 20px;\">The anti-modification provisions have also not applied \u00a0where a creditor asserts a security interest in household furniture and a motor vehicle. \u00a0In re Baksa, 5 B.R. 184, 186-187 (Bankr.N.D.Ohio 1980); cf. In re Rolle, 218 B.R. 636 (Bankr. S.D. Fla. 1998), Judge Mixon, sitting in place of Judge Cristol (Refrigerator and gas stove was not enough to remove purchase money mortgage from anti-modifcation provision). \u00a0The anti-modification provisions were narrowly drafted to apply to protect mortgage lenders but not secured claims based on extraneous consumer purchases. In re Loper, 222 B.R. 431, 439 (Bankr.D.Vt.1998).<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: Prata; font-size: 20px;\">In summary, you and your bankruptcy attorney in Miami should be aware that for debtor\u2019s stripping off or stripping down mortgages or liens on their principal or primary residence, the anti-modification provisions may not be applicable allowing these mortgages and liens to be modified just like any other property. \u00a0For creditors, this means that creditors need to take extra special care to not secure collateral beyond the principal or primary residence of the debtor or these creditors risk losing the protections of the anti-modification provisions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: Prata; font-size: 20px;\">\u00bfBusca a un abogado de bancarrota en Miami? <a href=\"https:\/\/roblespa.com\/es\/service\/Miami-Bankruptcy-Attorney\/\">Find out more!<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: Prata; font-size: 20px;\">Este art\u00edculo fue escrito por Richard R.
