    Default Re: When Can I File Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Again, With a Prior Discharge

    According to the governing statute, it's based on the original filing date. See 11 USC 727(a)(8) ("The court shall grant the debtor a discharge, unless ... the debtor has been granted a discharge under this section, under section 1141 of this title, or under section 14, 371, or 476 of the Bankruptcy Act, in a case commenced within 8 years before the date of the filing of the petition.")
