Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy in North Carolina?
Chapter 7 bankruptcy involves liquidating non-exempt assets to pay creditors, and it typically discharges most debts in a few months. Chapter 13 bankruptcy requires a 3 to 5 year repayment plan based on your income, allowing you to keep more property. A lawyer can help you decide which option fits your situation.
How long does a bankruptcy stay on my credit report in North Carolina?
A Chapter 7 bankruptcy remains on your credit report for 10 years from the filing date. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy stays for 7 years. However, you can start rebuilding your credit immediately after the bankruptcy is discharged.
What property can I keep if I file for bankruptcy in Clayton, North Carolina?
North Carolina law allows you to keep certain exempt property, such as up to $35,000 of equity in your home, one motor vehicle up to $3,500 in value, and household goods up to $5,000. These exemptions are set by state statute and can change, so consult a lawyer for current amounts.
