What happens if you file a chapter 7 again before your 8 years are up from the previous bankruptcy? I know it's not allowed, but how long does the court have to reject it and how long can you convert it to a chapter 13? Reason I'm asking is because we have a tenant which filed a chapter 7 back in Sep of '02 and we are trying to evict...now she filed a chapter 7 again...the same day (today) as the trial for the foricble detainer. We went to court today and the judge awarded us a judgement, however, we are required to get a lift from the bankruptcy prior to actually getting the writ of restitution. Can she withdrawl the bankruptcy all together...and if so, how long does she have? Thanks to any advice!
