MEMORANDUM DECISION

This matter comes before the Court on motion of CAB West LLC, as serviced by Ford Motor Credit Company LLC (“CAB West” or the “movant”). CAB West seeks either allowance of an administrative expense priority claim under 11 U.S.C. § 503(b) or dismissal of the case under 11 U.S.C. § 1307(c)(6). The debtor, Dawn Marie Reiser (“the debtor” or “Ms. Reiser”), filed an objection, as did the chapter 13 trustee, Gregory A. Burrell. A hearing on the motion was held on May 18, 2017, after an order confirming the debtor’s modified post-confirmation chapter 13 plan was docketed, on May 4, 2017. Bradley J. Hal-berstadt represents CAB West. Nicole Anderson represents the debtor. Jeffrey M. Bruzek represents the chapter 13 trustee. Based on the record, the matter is ready for disposition.

This memorandum decision constitutes the Court’s findings of facts and conclusions of law under Fed. R. Bankr. P. 7052, made applicable to contested matters under Fed. R. Bankr. P. 9014(c). The Court has jurisdiction here through 28 U.S.C. §§ 1334 and 157. This matter qualifies as a *500core proceeding under 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(2)(B).

The Background

The necessary background information is straightforward. Ms. Reiser leased a 2014 Ford Edge from CAB West.1 She filed her petition under chapter 13 of the Bankruptcy Code;2 her plan was filed on June 4, 2015. She later filed a modified plan on December 1, 2015, which was confirmed on January 11, 2016. After confirmation of that plan, she filed yet another modified plan; this one was'confirmed on May 4, 2017. At no point did the movant voice an objection to any plan.

The unopposed, confirmed plan now in force treats the claims of the debtor’s creditors. In relation to the movant, the plan states in part:

Id, The plan reshaped the relationship of rights as between Ms. Reiser and the mov-ant, as well as her other creditors. Yet, the movant filed a motion seeking to sculpt its rights after the clay had already hardened — by way of plan confirmation.

The Court confirmed the modified post-confirmation plan on May 4, 2017, and the movant’s hearing on this motion3 occurred on May 18, 2017. In its motion, the movant wants $3,602.864 elevated, in relation to *501general unsecured creditors, to the status of an administrative expense claim under § 503(b)(1)(A) for “actual, necessary costs and expenses of preserving the estate[.]” 11 U.S.C. § 503(b)(1)(A). In the alternative, the movant sought dismissal of the debtor’s case under § 1307(c)(6), for a “material default by the debtor with respect to a term of a confirmed plan.” 11 U.S.C. § 1307(c)(6). At the hearing, the Court denied the movant’s alternative relief sought. Thus, one issue remains.

The Issue

With some exceptions, section 1327 of the Bankruptcy Code binds the debtor and her creditors to the terms of a confirmed chapter 13 plan. Here, a confirmed chapter 13 plan exists. May the movant nevertheless achieve administrative expense claimant status under § 503(b)(1)(A), even though the confirmed chapter 13 plan does not provide for that treatment?

The Binding Effect of a Confirmed Chapter 13 Plan

Section 1327(a) of the Bankruptcy Code is the fountainhead for the binding effect of a confirmed chapter 13 plan. 11 U.S.C. § 1327(a). The Bankruptcy Code supplies this binding effect through these words: “(a) The provisions of a confirmed plan bind the debtor and each creditor, whether or not the claim of such creditor is provided for by the plan, and whether or not such creditor has objected to, has accepted, or has rejected the plan,” Id.

Courts have illumined with insight the effect of § 1327(a). In IMPAC Funding Corp. v. Simpson (In re Simpson), the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel for the Eighth Circuit identified that, “The Eighth Circuit has noted that the binding effect of a confirmed plan may result in res judicata on claims that were or could have been decided in the confirmation process.” 240 B.R. 559, 561 (8th Cir. BAP 1999) (citing Harmon v. United States, 101 F.3d 574, 582-83 n. 5 (8th Cir. 1996). After, in In re Simpson, the court catalogued cases, including one that discusses the binding effect of a confirmed chapter 13 plan, as “a tenet of res judicata,” and others that discuss the effect without reliance upon res judicata. Id. at 561-62. The court then extracted this kernel of law from those cases:

The sum of the judicial decisions that have considered the statutorily binding effect of a confirmed plan of reorganization is that if the confirmed plan treats the creditor, and if the creditor received proper notice of the plan and its proposed confirmation, the creditor’s only potential remedy for a plan it doesn’t like is to appeal the order of confirmation.

Id. at 562; see also, In re Siemers, 205 B.R. 583, 586 (Bankr. D. Minn. 1997) (“If a creditor doesn’t like the treatment of its claim under the terms of a proposed plan, the creditor’s remedy is to object to confirmation, not to ignore the plan and try to attack it later.”).5

*502The binding effect of a confirmed chapter 13 plan decides this issue. In paragraph 9 of the confirmed chapter 13 plan, claims entitled to priority under § 507 are classified. Section 507 of the Bankruptcy Code ranks the priority of ten categories of certain unsecured claims, providing first priority to claims under § 507(a)(1), and tenth priority to claims under § 507(a)(10). 11 U.S.C. § 507(a)(l)-(10). A category of claims that receives a second priority under § 507 is an administrative expense claim for “actual, necessary costs and expenses of preserving the estate” under § 503(b)(1)(A) — the sought status of the movant. 11 U.S.C. § 507(a)(2). Here, paragraph 9 of the debtor’s confirmed plan does not list a claim of CAB West for any amount as one entitled to priority under § 507. Because the confirmed plan binds parties, and because the plan did not treat CAB West as an administrative expense claimant, the Court will not either.

Conclusion

For the foregoing reasons, CAB West is not entitled to an administrative expense claim under 11 U.S.C. § 503(b)(1)(A). The terms of the confirmed chapter 13 plan bind CAB West.

Accordingly, the movant’s motion for allowance of an administrative priority expense claim, or for case dismissal, is DENIED.

IT IS ORDERED.
