Verifiedhi and thank you for your question. You definitely can. You need to get court approval to incur debt, by filing a motion once you have a creditor willing to lend the money. Also, the trustee could request you to increase your plan payments if your income increases. Other than that, there shouldn't be much issue with the bankruptcy, getting the credit will be the tricky part in the scenario. let me know if you have any questions. and good luck to you as well!
