If you have filed bankruptcy in the past and need to file again, you can. But, to determine when you can get another discharge in bankruptcy, you need to know the date of filing and the chapter of the previous case. Everyone thinks that you can only file for bankruptcy every seven years. That is an old tale. In actuality, you can file Chapter 7 bankruptcy every eight years. Prior to did 2005 it used to be every six years. Most courts count the time from the filing date, not the discharge date. If you’re in need of filing and have previously filed check with the court that you filed in to get the date of the previous filing.
