[CLBS] Post Petition Attorneys Fees for Creditor Atty - Chapt 13

[Keisha L. Oxendine]

Dear All: 

 

My clients filed a Chapter 13, but were current on their mortgage at time of
filing and always. The creditor filed a proof of claim alleging an arrearage
of $425 for post-petition attorneys fees incurred in reviewing the
bankruptcy and filing a proof of claim. Any thoughts on this? I've read a
bit of case law that has held these fees aren't appropriate but wanted some
input from our local bankruptcy bar and some guidance on any local cases
that may have addressed this issue. 

 

Sincere thanks,

 

Keisha L. Oxendine
