Former NC Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson files for bankruptcy, lists nearly $800,000 in debts

Former North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson and his wife, Yolanda Hill, have filed for Chapter 13 bankruptcy, listing about $798,000 in debts and about $536,000 in assets, according to federal court records.

The couple filed the joint petition Nov. 3 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of North Carolina. They are represented by Greensboro attorney Samantha K. Brumbaugh.

Chapter 13 lets people with regular income keep their property while repaying some or all of their debts over three to five years under a court-approved plan. Because Robinson’s income is above the state median for a two-person household, the filing indicates a five-year repayment period.

Most of the debt is tied to the couple’s home in Colfax, in Guilford County. The filing lists two loans from the State Employees’ Credit Union totaling about $436,000 against a home valued at $437,200. The couple also lists about $31,000 in past-due mortgage payments they would need to catch up on through the plan.

The couple also owes about $42,000 on two 2021 vehicles, a Cadillac Escalade and a Chevrolet Silverado.

The filing lists about $316,000 in unsecured debt. Most of it is credit cards, personal loans and accounts that have gone to collections. The largest include about $33,000 owed to a debt buyer on a Best Egg loan, about $31,000 on a credit union line of credit and about $31,000 owed to a debt buyer on a Citibank account. The couple also owes the IRS $3,000 in 2023 income taxes.

“The filing lists about $316,000 in unsecured debt. Most of it is credit cards, personal loans and accounts that have gone to collections”. That can do it.

Good Lord. 58 years old, $798k in debts and $536k in assets. Owes $42k on two 2021 vehicles, a Cadillac Escalade and a Chevrolet Silverado?

And he was Lieutenant Governor? Can’t manage his own household and they put him in #2 in NC?

Well, I can see why they are so far in debt. Must take at least $300 a day just to feed Mark and Yolanda; More if they have kids at home:

"R or D ?

Unfortunately (R)... (And I'm surprised that the article didn't lead with that info-bit); he claims to be a conservative, and that Rush Limbaugh was his political guiding light.
