Can a debtor re-file for a Chapter 7 if he needs to do it again? Is there a limit to a person re-filing for bankruptcy?
Once you receive your discharge in a chapter 7 case, you cannot file another bankruptcy and get another discharge, in a chapter 7 case unless six years have passed between the date this bankruptcy was filed and the date on which the new bankruptcy (chapter 7) is filed. This does not mean you cannot file for relief under Chapter 13 of the Bankruptcy Code, also known as a “Wage Earner Plan.” You may indeed obtain substantial assistance through a Wage Earner Plan under Chapter 13.
