If the case was dismissed without prejudice, you can refile at almost anytime after you get the credit counseling. However, you should exercise extreme caution when refiling the bankruptcy and you should consult an attorney before doing so. Under the new laws, there are harsher restrictions on refiling bankruptcy to prevent "serial" filings. A serial filier is someone who files case after case to avoid eviction or foreclosure. Failing to file the Certificate of Credit Counseling can be sufficient grounds to find that the first bankruptcy was not filed on good faith and could result in an early termination of the automatic stay. If you refie, it may be necessary to file a motion to extend the automatic stay. Therefore, it is very important to see a qualified bankruptcy attorney about your situation.
