But even if you paid 1 dollar to this debt 6 years and 364 days after it's date, it would be on for another seven years.

The only fair answer to this is sometimes. Chapter 13's are sometimes removed after seven instead of ten years by creditors voluntarily, but there is no guarantee or requirement that they do so. More importantly, having a bankruptcy on one's credit report is not near as negative as some creditors would like you to believe. Fact is, if you have good income, the creditors will find a way to finance what you want regardless of your credit report - and conversely, if you have a perfect credit report and no income, you are not going to be able to buy anything on time anyway.
