Plans - Security interest was purchase money security interest, as required to prevent claim bifurcation under hanging paragraph.
A Chapter 13 debtor's prepetition retail installment financing agreement for a vehicle applied the cash down payment and rebates to satisfy the negative equity in the vehicle that the debtor was trading in as a part of the transaction, such that no portion of the loan extended to the debtor to buy the new vehicle was used to pay the negative equity. Therefore, under Tennessee's version of the Uniform Commercial Code, the creditor's security interest in the vehicle was entirely a purchase money security interest, as required for the creditor's secured claim to be protected from bifurcation under the plan confirmation statute's hanging paragraph.
