Re: Chapter 7

There isn't enough information to accurately answer your question, but I'll try. If your chapter 13 case is still active, you can NOT file another case just now; the chapter 13 case must be dismissed first. If YOU dismiss your case, you cannot file another case under any chapter for 6 months. If the case is dismissed for some other reason, such as for failing to pay the chapter 13 trustee, you CAN refile. You should make an appointment to go over the precise facts of your situation. Call for an appointment if you want. 617-241-8500
