11 U.S.C. § 1302 — Trustee

Page 308 TITLE 11—BANKRUPTCY § 1302 really the ‘‘codebtor.’’ As with other sections in title 11, the standard of receiving consideration is a general rule, but where two co-debtors have agreed to share li- abilities in a different manner than profits it is the in- dividual who does not ultimately bear the liability that is protected by the stay under section 1301. SENATE REPORT NO. 95–989 Subsection (a) automatically stays the holder of a claim based on a consumer debt of the chapter 13 debt- or from acting or proceeding in any way, except as au- thorized pursuant to subsections (b) and (c), against an individual or the property of an individual liable with the chapter 13 debtor, unless such codebtor became lia- ble in the ordinary course of his business, or unless the case is closed, dismissed, or converted to another chap- ter. Under the terms of the agreement with the codebtor who is not in bankruptcy, the creditor has a right to collect all payments to the extent they are not made by the debtor at the time they are due. To the extent to which a chapter 13 plan does not propose to pay a creditor his claims, the creditor may obtain relief from the court from the automatic stay and collect such claims from the codebtor. Conversely, a codebtor ob- tains the benefit of any payments made to the creditor under the plan. If a debtor defaults on scheduled pay- ments under the plan, then the codebtor would be liable for the remaining deficiency; otherwise, payments not made under the plan may never be made by the co- debtor. The obligation of the codebtor to make the creditor whole at the time payments are due remains. The automatic stay under this section pertains only to the collection of a consumer debt, defined by section 101(7) of this title to mea
