Can I file for bankruptcy every few years?

By: LawInfo

No. Once a discharge is granted, a debtor who filed under Chapter 7 or 11 is prohibited from filing for another 6 years. However, a debtor who filed under Chapter 7 can file a chapter 13 before the 6 year bar is over, but not another Chapter 7.
