cram down is an informal name for a settlement or terms that a debtor forces creditors to accept. For example, a debtor in Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings can, subject to some restrictions, have a plan to resolve the bankruptcy approved by the court even though a creditor or a class of creditors objects.
