Filed chapter 13 for my house. Another bank gave me a loan to pay what was behind on my house so I ended the bankruptcy without finishing the process or really starting it for that matter. Can I get this removed off my credit report? Filed in NC.

No. The fact that you filed a Chapter 13 and it was dismissed is a public record. This is an accurate credit report and you cannot get that deleted.
