A:
Assuming that your last bankruptcy was a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, you can't file another Chapter 7 until eight years after your earlier case was filed.
If you received a discharge in a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you can't file a Chapter 7 again until six years after the Chapter 13 was filed.
If you would give me a call I could help you figure out when your last case was filed, if you need help with that.

A:
I concur with David Kelly, the one thing to add is that if you did a Chapter 13, you could also file a new chapter 13 four years after that previous filing.
