Generally you are supposed to get permission from the Bankruptcy Court to get a loan while you are in a Chapter 13, frequently by filing a Motion to Incur New Debt. If the court deems the loan to be reasonable and necessary, they will grant it. If it is frivolous, unnecessary, or unduly wastes money that could be paid to creditors, the court won't grant it. Examples: If your car breaks down and you need a new one to get to work, the court would probably approve the new loan if it is for say $300/mo on a $6,000 car. If you try to get a $50,000 loan at $600/mo on a new Corvette, probably not since its not reasonable and necessary that you drive a Vette to work. If you try to get a loan on a second car when you have one perfectly good car, again probably not reasonable and necessary. Please note that nothing in this posting or in any other posting constitutes legal advice; this is simply my understanding of the facts and law, which I do not warrant, and I am not suggesting any course of action or inaction to any person. Speak to a lawyer for specific advice. If you have any questions, please refer to a lawyer in your jurisdiction. Thanks!

When can you refile bankruptcy after a previous bankruptcy discharge?

That depends on your situation. If you have filed but not received discharge of debt, then you may refile immediately.

If filed under chapter 13 and received discharge of debt, can refile after two years for same chapter 13. http://www.jacksonwhitelaw.com/what-we-do/get-help-filing-for-bankruptcy/ If the first bankruptcy, C. 7, was dismissed for cause, you have to wait 180 days before refiling.

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.

Can you file chapter 13 bankruptcy after you have filed a chapter 7 in Indiana?

A chapter 13 bankruptcy can be filed if it has been at least 4 years from the date of the discharge of a chapter 7. Nonsense. You can file a chapter 13 the day after the 7 is closed. You may not be eligible for a discharge, but the point of doing a "chapter 20" is usually to dump the unsecured debt in the 7 and use the 13 to get caught up on the mortgage, for which no discharge is necessary.
