Yes, for some reasons. You have to file a Motion to Reopen and pay the court the reopen fee which is currently $260 as of 5/12/07, plus whatever your attorney charges you. Here's a NON-exaustive list of common reasons people might want to reopen a bankruptcy case: You CAN usually reopen a case to: 1. Add creditors to a Chapter 7 NO ASSET case (as long as the debt was incurred before the date the bankruptcy petition was originally filed, unless it was a Ch 13 converted to Ch 7, in which case the debt had to have been incurred before the case was converted to Ch 7) 2. File Motion to Avoid Judgment Lien if that lien was not avoided during the case You can NOT usually reopen a case to: 1. Add creditors to a Chapter 13 or Chapter 7 ASSET case 2. File a reaffirmation agreement 3. File an action against the debtor Please note that nothing in this posting or in any other posting constitutes legal advice; this is simply my understanding of the facts and law, which I do not warrant, and I am not suggesting any course of action or inaction to any person. Speak to a lawyer for specific advice. If you have any questions, please refer to a lawyer in your jurisdiction. Thanks!

It depends on the specific circumstances and laws governing bankruptcy in your jurisdiction. Generally, once a judgment is discharged in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, it cannot be reinstated. However, if there were any exceptions to discharge or if the judgment was based on fraud, it could potentially be reinstated.
