Former NC Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson Files for Bankruptcy, Lists Nearly $800,000 in Debts
The filing lists nearly $800,000 in debts, including about $120,000 in credit card balances and a disputed claim from a former friend.
On November 3, former North Carolina Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson and his wife, Yolanda Hill, filed for Chapter 13 bankruptcy protection, reporting nearly $800,000 in debt against roughly $535,600 in assets.
Robinson's financial struggles followed his failed 2024 gubernatorial campaign, which collapsed after reports linked him to inflammatory online comments; he later admitted to lying about the scandal.
Court filings reveal debts include about $120,000 in credit card charges and $3,000 in tax debt, with assets including a Colfax home valued at about $437,000 and two vehicles worth about $80,000.
Robinson's filing includes a disputed debt owed to Louis Money, a former adult video store owner seeking an unpaid settlement after Robinson dropped a defamation suit.
Chapter 13 bankruptcy enables the couple to manage debt payments over time while potentially protecting assets, such as their home, from foreclosure.
