Two points: Since 2005 the law has been that eight years must pass between an earlier Ch. 7 filing and a new one, if you got a discharge the first time around (and almost everyone does). Second, there is no legal bar to your getting credit or a loan after filing a BR, and you certainly do not need to wait 7 years. It is true, of course, that the more time which passes after a bankruptcy discharge the more chance you have to improve your credit scorebut if you are willing to pay whatever interest rate your lender demands, you could go ahead today.
