• affirming bankruptcy court’s allowance of amendment where amendment was filed pre-confirmation but was not objected to or ruled upon until after confirmation
• noting, in the context bf a Chapter 13 bankruptcy appeal, that a bankruptcy judge’s decision to allow an informal proof of claim is an equitable decision reviewed for an abuse of discretion
