On June 18, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit issued its opinion in Wells Fargo Bank v. Scantling, 13-10558, holding that a Chapter 20 bankruptcy debtor could strip off valueless junior liens on her principal residence despite being ineligible for a discharge in her Chapter 13 bankruptcy case.

Chapter 20 is a colloquialism; it refers to a debtor who files a Chapter 13 case after receiving a discharge in a Chapter 7 case.
