Can I file chapter 7 if I have recently filed chapter 13?

Answered by attorney Myron Wayne Tucker (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Orrock, Popka, Tucker Dolen
Yes, and there are specific reasons for doing what is called a Chapter 20. You will not get a discharge at the end of your Chapter 13, but maybe you will not need one. You may be able to void liens and or deal with other issues that will benefit you even though you do not get a discharge.

Is there such a thing as making too much to qualify for chapter 7 bankruptcy?

Yvonne M. Novak
Answered by attorney Yvonne M. Novak (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Novak Law Group
Yes, you can make too much to file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. There is a "means test" that has a basic income threshold to determine if you have to file a Chapter 13 bankruptcy instead of a Chapter 7. Even if you are above the income threshold, you may still be able to file a Chapter 7 depending on what you have for allowable expenses. Each case is different so consultation with a local bankruptcy attorney is recommended.
