United States Bankruptcy Court

In an effort to comply with measures relating to the containment of the Coronavirus (COVID-19), effective March 26, 2020 and until further notice, the Clerk’s Offices of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court are closed to the public at all locations.  Drop boxes are available at each location during the hours of 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.  Filings may also be mailed to the Charlotte clerk’s office address on this site.   Any questions about filings or payments should be directed to 704-350-7500.  While sealed envelopes for payment are available at the drop boxes, customers are strongly urged to call the number listed above for instructions on submitting payments.

In response to the recent outbreak of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) in the United States and the Western District of North Carolina and to reduce the need for personal contact, the court has entered an Order Clarifying Local Rule 5005-1 and the Requirement to Obtain Debtors’ Original Signatures for Electronic Filing.

Per the attached General Order dated March 16, 2020, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of North Carolina has continued all matters scheduled for hearing in March. Emergency requests for special settings or questions should be directed to Chambers at 704-350-7575 or hearings@ncwd.net .
