If have you have a prior bankruptcy default, there may be certain restrictions on future chapter 7 filing. If you have been discharged in a Chapter 12 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy by paying at least 70% of the unsecured debts, you must wait for 6 years before filing a Chapter 7. If your Chapter 7 was dismissed and you file another Chapter 7 within 1 year, then the automatic stay will terminate within 30 days unless you demonstrate that your prior Chapter 7 filing was made in good faith. You must wait for 180 days if your bankruptcy petition was dismissed for failure to comply with a court order or was dismissed on your request to be eligible to file a Chapter 7 petition once again.
