Can I file for Chapter 7 if I already filed for Chapter 13? 4 Answers as of August 15, 2010

No, you cannot file again. You have to wait 8 years after discharge.

The question is what is the file date of your chapter 13.

If your current case is a chapter 7 and your last case was a chapter 7, you must wait 8 years. If your case is a chapter 7 and your last case was a chapter 13, you must wait 6 years. If you case is a chapter 13 and your last case was a 7, you must wait 4 years. If your current case is a chapter 13 and your last case was a 13, you must wait 2 years

If you were discharged in 2005, then your case was likely filed at least 3 years prior to that date. 3 years prior to 2005 plus the 5 years since 2005 is approximately 8 years.

Therefore, based on what you've told me, you can file a 7 or a 13 at this point. You can even file against an overpayment of the unemployment if the unemployment people think you were paid too much, called "over paid."
