Depends on how far apart you filed the previous cases and whether or not you received a discharge in one or more of your cases and whether you need a discharge. You truly need to consult experienced counsel to determine when and where and how to file it and what protection you are afforded by it.

It becomes more difficult. I am assuming your are talking about a Chapter 13. It depends why the two prior 13's were dismissed.

There are several issues related to repeat filings. First is the timing of the filings. Cases filed soon after a prior case is dismissed have different rules related to the automatic stay. Also, a person is more likely have a bad-fait objection in a repeat filing. In addition, there may have been specific rulings in the first case that could impact a second or third case.

There are plenty of reasons why any bankruptcy might not be granted. Asking me to guess what reasons there might be is not a good use of your time or mine. You may want to provide some detail in order to obtain a useful response.

No, as long as it is enough time in between the filings.
