Coppedge v. Aycock Mortgage & Bond Corp.

1. A discharge in bankruptcy is based either on the proper and timely scheduling of the debt, or on the fact that the creditor had notice or actual knowledge of the bankruptcy proceeding; but for either to work a discharge, the schedule of the debt should be filed, or the notice or knowledge of the bankruptcy should be received, within one year after the bankruptcy adjudication, and within such time as to give the creditor an equal opportunity with other creditors to participate in the affairs of the estate.
