Charlotte, NC asked in Bankruptcy for North Carolina

Q: I discharged Ch7 (2017) and forgot to list a debt. Is the debt assumed in the CH7 or do I have to reopen to include it?

I had filed previously (2x) on my own and they were dismissed. I listed the debt in one of the previous filings but not in the filing that was discharged. The creditor acknowledges that I have a discharged bankruptcy but not that the debt is assumed to be included. I filed in NC but the creditor is located in CT if that makes a difference.

A: No. Simply reopen, add the debt and it will be discharged.
