-NONE9. Treatment and Payment of Claims.

• All creditors must timely file a proof of claim to receive any payment from the Trustee. 

• If a claim is scheduled as unsecured and the creditor files a claim alleging the claim is secured but does not timely object to 

confirmation of the Plan, the creditor may be treated as unsecured for purposes of distribution under the Plan. This paragraph

does not limit the right of the creditor to enforce its lien, to the extent not avoided or provided for in this case, after the 

debtor(s) receive a discharge. 

• If a claim is listed in the Plan as secured and the creditor files a proof of claim alleging the claim is unsecured, the creditor 

will be treated as unsecured for purposes of distribution under the Plan. 

• The Trustee may adjust the monthly disbursement amount as needed to pay an allowed secured claim in full. 

• If relief from the automatic stay is ordered as to any item of collateral listed in the plan, then, unless otherwise ordered by the 

court, all payments as to that collateral will cease, and all secured claims based on that collateral will no longer be treated by 

the plan. 

• Unless otherwise ordered by the Court, the amount of the creditor’s total claim listed on the proof of claim controls over any 

contrary amounts listed in the plan. 

10. Vesting of Property of the Estate. Property of the estate shall revest in the debtor(s) upon confirmation of the Plan. 

Notwithstanding such vesting, the debtor(s) may not transfer, sell, refinance, encumber real property or enter into a mortgage 

loan modification without approval of the Court after notice to the Trustee, any creditor who has filed a request for notice and 

other creditors to the extent required by the Local Rules of this Court. 

11. Incurrence of indebtedness. The debtor(s) shall not voluntarily incur additional indebtedness exceeding the cumulative total 

of $5,000 principal amount during the term of this Plan, whether unsecured or secured, except upon approval of the Court 

after notice to the Trustee, any creditor who has filed a request for notice, and other creditors to the extent required by the

Local Rules of this Court.
