Frequently Asked Questions
What types of bankruptcy can I file in Chapel Hill?
In Chapel Hill, you can file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, which discharges most unsecured debts, or Chapter 13 bankruptcy, which sets up a repayment plan over three to five years. North Carolina follows the federal bankruptcy code, but you must also meet state-specific eligibility requirements.
How long does a bankruptcy stay on my credit report in North Carolina?
A Chapter 7 bankruptcy stays on your credit report for 10 years from the filing date. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy stays for 7 years. North Carolina law does not change these federal reporting periods.
Can I keep my house if I file for bankruptcy in Chapel Hill?
