There nowhere near enough information to advise you or answer your question.
Which bankruptcy chapter did you file before? Did you receive a discharge?
What do you mean "the house was not on" your prior bankruptcy case? Failure to list assets is bankruptcy fraud which is a jailable offense.
You might be able to file a Chapter 13 case now to deal with any arrearages to the foreclosing lender and try to keep your house.
Bottom line is that you need to consult with an experienced bankruptcy attorney in your area. Preferably one that just does bankruptcy--not short sales.
