You can still file for bankruptcy in Vancouver or Portland after having filed previously, so long as you meet the requirements for another bankruptcy (either Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 personal bankruptcy. With Chapter 13 you may refile bankruptcy again after two years, but the new bankruptcy must also be a Chapter 13.
In addition to the above caveats, you must:
- have lived in Oregon or Washington for at least 90 days to file Chapter 13
- petition for Chapter 13 bankruptcy with the appropriate bankruptcy court
- await the bankruptcy court's acceptance of your petition -- they will send you a notice listing all of the creditors you owe
- await the court's appointment of a trustee to your bankruptcy case -- if you haven't heard anything and you feel you should have, get in touch with Thomas McAvity, your Vancouver bankruptcy attorney right away
