Answer:		You are able to file bankruptcy a second time as long as you have been discharged from the first bankruptcy. There are some penalties, such as a mandatory court appearance for your discharge, a minimum 6 month suspension for the second bankruptcy and could be more due to the length of time between the bankruptcies, and your credit rating is affected for 14 years.
