How Often Can a Person File Bankruptcy?

By

The answer to this question depends on what type of bankruptcy you qualify for. You cannot receive a discharge in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy if you have received a discharge in a Chapter 7 in the past 8 years or if you have filed a Chapter 13 within the past 6 years. On the other hand, if you received a discharge in a Chapter 13, you can file a Chapter 13 again in 2 years.

However, you do not want to abuse this process, as there task forces in place to seek out those who do so. Contact a Jacksonville bankruptcy attorney today to see if filing for bankruptcy is beneficial for your situation.
