How Often Can I File Bankruptcy?

In general, if you filed a Chapter 7 bankruptcy in the past, you must wait eight years from the case filing date until you can file Chapter 7 again. The waiting period is shorter if you filed a Chapter 13 bankruptcy in the past, or if your current case is a Chapter 13. Also, if your prior bankruptcy case was dismissed or stopped for whatever reason, you may be able to file sooner.

The specifics of when you can file bankruptcy again depend on your circumstances. It is important that an attorney make a thorough review of your situation to determine exactly what type of bankruptcy you should file, when you can file, and if it is even the best course of action for you. If you have filed a bankruptcy in the past, bring us the details of the case including the date filed and the case number.

We will explain the details and how we can help you achieve your debt relief goals. You can decide what is right for you based on our advice.
