Yes, you may file for bankruptcy twice, however, it is important to understand that bankruptcy and debt discharge are not the same. You can file for bankruptcy to get your debts discharged, but not all debts are dischargeable, and some cases do not result in discharge at all.
The biggest difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 is that Chapter 7 focuses on discharging (getting rid of) unsecured debt such as credit cards, personal loans and medical bills while Chapter 13 allows you to catch up on secured debts like your home or your car while also discharging unsecured debt.
Most people who earn less than the median income for their state, based on their household size, are eligible for Chapter 7. Thats because they pass the means test set out by the bankruptcy laws. The means test looks at your average monthly income over the last six months.
How long does it take to file Chapter 7? A Chapter 7 bankruptcy can take four to six months to do, from the time you file to when you receive a final discharge meaning you no longer have to repay your debt.
As long as youre eligible to receive a discharge under Chapter 7, you can convert your case at any time. The discharge will occur approximately 90 days after you convert your case. This is the same timeframe as in a regularly filed Chapter 7 case.
