Can I File Bankruptcy More Than Once?

First of all, if you are contemplating filing bankruptcy for the first time, we at Edwin L Feld & Associates, LLC, hope that you are planning to do so with the goal of success. We assume you are serious about overcoming your unmanageable debt burden and getting your financial life under control. We hope you do not intend to file bankruptcy again in the near future. However, bankruptcy law does allow people to refile. Our attorneys can advise about your refiling options.

Required Time Lapses Between Bankruptcy Filings, Discharges

If you have filed bankruptcy in the past, are once again underwater in bills and are seeking to determine your eligibility for bankruptcy again, you should see an attorney right away. You may qualify for a subsequent Chapter 7 bankruptcy discharge eight years after a previous Chapter 7 filing. You may also be eligible to file a Chapter 13 anytime after your Chapter 7 discharge, but you may or may not be entitled to a discharge. Edwin L Feld & Associates would be happy to review and advise you about your options when considering refiling a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13.

A knowledgeable lawyer can review the specifics of your financial concerns and advise you on your best possible options.
