Does a Secured Creditor’s failure to file an objection constitute an acceptance of a Chapter 13 plan?

Yes. In a recent South Carolina bankruptcy decision, the court held that a secured creditor’s failure to object to its treatment in a Chapter 13 plan constitutes acceptance of the plan under Code § 1325(a)(5)(A).
