Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Pennsylvania

Can the statute start over if I retain a lawyer

I retained a lawyer to file bankruptcy but never went through with it. All of the credit card debt is past the 4 year statute. Would that have an effect on the 4 years starting over. I never acknowledged the debt to collectors.
