Can you file personal bankruptcy and medical bankruptcy within a short time period?
If you are referring to a chapter 20 (chapter 7 + chapter 13), then yes it is possible.

I cosigned for an ex girlfriend on a personal loan and she has now filed bankruptcy. Is it possible for me to sue her for the debt?
There is no way a judge will allow her to add a cosigned account to a bankruptcy case. Being that you may be able to pay the debt, the judge will be forced to deny the claim. However, if it does slip through, you can file suit against the court to get the bankruptcy recinded. Just to answer your question, hypothetically, if it did slip through and you could not figh it you could not sue her because the debt has already been settled as a bankruptcy. So you see how it's not possible for her to claim the account in the first place.
