If you have filed for bankruptcy in the last couple of years can you file again?

You can always file bankruptcy at any time.  The issue is whether you can receive a discharge of debts.   That depends on which chapter you previously filed and what the outcome of the prior case(s) was.   There's too many possible permutations to list them all here.  If you want to provide more information about your situation, I and others can give you a more specific answer.   Mark J.
