Credit and Bankruptcy Law

Chapter 13

Do prior bankruptcy filings affect eligibility to file other bankruptcy petitions?

Yes, there are time limitations. An individual is ineligible for a Chapter 13 discharge if he or she has had a previous Chapter 13 case in the past two years or a Chapter 7 case in the past four years. You cannot file a Chapter 7 petition if you have had a previous Chapter 7 case in the past eight years.
