THIS QUESTION HAS BEEN ASKED AND ANSWERED MANY, MANY TIMES. IT IS PART OF THE DATABASE HERE. PROPERLY USING THE SYSTEM MEANS YOU WOULD HAVE GOTTEN THE ANSWER WITHOUT HAVING TO WAIT! (And consider that if you can't do that - you really should only consider having your own personal lawyer handle EVERYTHING to do with your financial matters and any BK issues which are all much much more complex and less forgiving of not adhereing to the system). Under the bankruptcy laws effective on October 17, 2005, Chapter 7 cannot be filed unless the debtor was discharged from the previous Chapter 7 or bankruptcy more than eight years ago. The debtor cannot file a Chapter 13 unless: (1) the debtor received a discharge under Chapter 7, 11 or 12 more than four years ago; or (2) the debtor received a discharge under Chapter 13 more than two years ago.

The above notes discharge dates
