What happens if I go bankrupt, and then later need to file for bankruptcy again?

If you have already tried to file for bankruptcy but had your application dismissed, you typically must wait 180 days before filing again. If you have filed for bankruptcy before and it was successfully discharged, then you must wait 6 years before you may declare bankruptcy again.

For any questions about your eligibility for filing for bankruptcy, contact the New Orleans bankruptcy lawyers of Kervin & Young, LLC at 504-599-5906.
