What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy in North Carolina?
Chapter 7 bankruptcy discharges most unsecured debts after non-exempt assets are sold, while Chapter 13 involves a 3-to-5-year repayment plan. In North Carolina, you must pass a means test to qualify for Chapter 7. A lawyer can explain which chapter applies to your income and debts.
How long does a bankruptcy case take in Kannapolis?
A Chapter 7 case typically takes 3 to 6 months from filing to discharge. Chapter 13 cases last 3 to 5 years as you make payments. North Carolina requires credit counseling before filing and a debtor education course after filing.
