United States Sixth Circuit


In re Johnson, 08-5088

In Chapter 7 proceedings, Bankruptcy Appellate Panel's judgment for the trustee and against the lender of the debtor's pick-up truck is affirmed as the enabling loan exception of 11 U.S.C. section 547(c)(3) does not protect the lender's interest in the pick-up truck from avoidance as a preferential transfer because the perfection of the lender's security interest in the truck did not occur until March 7, 2005, when the security interest was actually noted on the certificate of title.
