Note a discharge and a dismissal are 2 different things....presumably you mean discharge (as in resolved). Dismissal are a whole different thing (which are done because you didn't comply with something required by the court originally or such)...they can be refiled soon, but you have to have a reason the courts will agree to..not that now you care (preferably show some change in finances).....as your promises to creditors, and then the court, weren't done before, they tend to not take your promises or thoughts now as not too meaningful.

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.
