What is Redemption?
Redemption pays-off the lien on the secured property in the amount of
the replacement value at the time of the filing of the Petition. This
is part of the new code §506(a)(2)If the debtor is an individual
in a case under chapter 7 or 13, such value with respect to personal property
securing an allowed claim shall be determined based on the replacement
value of such property as of the date of the filing of the petition without
deduction for costs of sale or marketing. With respect to property acquired
for personal, family, or household purposes, replacement value shall mean
the price a retail merchant would charge for property of that kind considering
the age and condition of the property at the time value is determined.
According to 11 U.S.C. 722, "an individual debtor may, whether or not
the debtor has waived the right to redeem under this section, redeem tangible
personal property intended primarily for personal, family, or household
use, from a lien securing a dischargeable consumer debt, if such property
is exempted under section 522 of this title or has been abandoned under
section 554 of this title, by paying the holder of such lien the amount
of the allowed secured claim of such holder that is secured by such lien
in full at the time of redemption."
This option used to save quite a bit for the
Debtors. Although it may not save as much now it still might be an option
for you. The company we work with is called 722
Redemption. Although you may work with any company that will finance
you for this lump sum payoff. |
