Yes, so that they may determine your elegibility to file again.
It depends on the chapter you filed under. If you filed under Chapter 7, you have to wait 8 years before filing again. If you filed under Chapter 13, you only have to wait four years.
Some strict limitations have been set by the new bankruptcy law. Debtors will not be able to file Chapter 7 bankruptcy if they've been through a Chapter 7 within eight years of the new filing. If they want to file for Chapter 13, they will not receive a discharge within two years of a previous Chapter 13 discharge and within four years if they were discharged from a Chapter 7, 11 or 12 bankruptcy.
In 2005, they passed a law saying you can't do it again for eight years. You also have to reside in the state for two years prior to bankruptcy.
Yes, but new bankruptcy reform will become effective on Oct 17, 2005. Some previous filings may or may not be deemed retroactive as to when they can be filed, as the new law will change the time frame to eight years. It will also become very difficult to file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy if the debtor has any disposable income. IRS guidelines will be used to determine the type of bankruptcy that will be allowed.
Yes, after a bankruptcy has been discharged (a 10 year period if chapter 7 was filed), the possibility of filing bankruptcy again is open. If you live long enough, you can file several times. This gives new meaning to the phrase, "Live long and prosper."
You can file bankruptcy again 7 years after the last time you filed.
If it is a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, you have to wait 8 years before you can file it again.
Bankruptcy is not part of financial planning. 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.
If you are talking about a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, It takes 7 to 9 years after you can file bankruptcy again.
In general it is 6 years after the discharged date.
Our attorney told us that our case (including bank records, etc.) would not be reviewed again after the 341 meeting.
