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. Not sure where your 6 years comes from...but all dates are discharge date.

My bankruptcy was discharged I brought a car for my friends daughter and she was making the paymentnow she stop what happens to the car it's been 6 month and nobody looking for it.what to do?
Your bankruptcy was not discharged, unless it was thrown out of court. Your debts were discharged. You can keep making the payments, find somebody who will take the car and make the payments, or call the lender to make a "voluntary repossession." You will then learn what a dumb move it was to buy the car, since you will be liable for any deficiency and you cannot file c. 7 again for 8 years.

If a bankruptcy was discharged in June 1999 must you wait 6 years from the discharge date or 6 years from the original file date?
I disagree with Nikki. My reading of the Bankruptcy Code indicates that you can file a new Chapter 7 six years after the FILING date of the prior case. 11 U.S.C. 727 (of the Bankruptcy Code) states that a person cannot file a Chapter 7 if "(8) the debtor has been granted a discharge under this section, under section 1141 of this title, or under section 14, 371, or 476 of the Bankruptcy Act, in a case commenced within six years before the date of the filing of the petition; [or] (9) the debtor has been granted a discharge under section 1228 or 1328 of this title, or under section 660 or 661 of the Bankruptcy Act, in a case commenced within six years before the date of the filing of the petition, unless payments under the plan in such case totaled at least- (A) 100 percent of the allowed unsecured claims in such case; or (B) (i) 70 percent of such claims; and (ii) the plan was proposed by the debtor in good faith, and was the debtor's best effort...." Since the Bankruptcy Code says you have to wait six years from when the prior case was COMMENCED rather than when it was COMPLETED, this implies the filing date rather than the discharge date is the operative date from which the six years runs. Please note that nothing in this posting or in any other posting constitutes legal advice; this is simply my understanding of the facts, which I do not warrant, and I am not suggesting any course of action or inaction to any person. Six years from the actual discharge date of the BK.
How long does a bankruptcy stay on your credit report?
A Chapter 7 bankruptcy may display on your credit for 10 years from the date of filing. Chapter 13 may stay for 10 years also, but it is customary for those to be removed after 7 years.Here is more specific advice and input from various contributors:All discharged bankruptcies whether a state or federal filing remain on a CR for 10 years. A dismissed chapter 13 remains for 7 years from date filed, a dismissed chapter 7 remains for 10 years from date filed.Chapt.7-11-12 will remain for ten years.

Seven (7) years from date filed for a dismissed chapter 13, ten (10) years for a dismissed chapter 7.Although it is true that the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act does provide that bankruptcy entries will remain for 10 years, there are some creditors that will only leave a chapter 13 bankruptcy on your record for 7, rather than 10 years. They do this to encourage people to pay part of their debts rather than discharge it all under a chapter 7. More importantly, the effect of bankruptcy on one's ability to get credit is vastly overstated. The key to getting the credit you need has far more to do with the amount of present income you have rather than any negatives on your credit report. In short, if you have good present income, the creditors will look past your credit report to your wallet in the sense that it is possible, even with a bankruptcy on one's record, to get credit for cars and new credit cards as soon as you are discharged in a chapter 7 (about four months after you file), and after a year or so, you can even get a mortgage on a house. They may not give you the best rate, but if you have good present income, even a person with a bankruptcy on their record can get the credit they want in almost all cases.You will not qualify for a FHA until a chapter 7 has be discharged for 2 years.

Can a discharged bankruptcy be reopened in Texas four years after discharge if a debtor acquires liquid assets over four years after the discharge?
A bankruptcy can almost always be reopened. Unless the "liquid assets" were available to the debtor at the time of filing or fall into one of the categories (gambling winnings or inheritance) that had to be reported within 6 months of discharge, four years is way too late to go after them. Even in Texas.
