Your financial needs really determine which type you should file, if at all Chapter 7 is a liquidation bankruptcy and chapter 13 is a type of debt reorganization bankruptcy which essentially places you on a budget until you can pay back parts of your re-negotiated obligations. You should speak with an attorney about which option is best for your situation, keeping in mind that some debts are not dischargeable under either chapter 7 or chapter 13 bankruptcy.

Can you file chapter 13 bankruptcy after you have filed a chapter 7 in Indiana?

A chapter 13 bankruptcy can be filed if it has been at least 4 years from the date of the discharge of a chapter 7. Nonsense. You can file a chapter 13 the day after the 7 is closed. You may not be eligible for a discharge, but the point of doing a "chapter 20" is usually to dump the unsecured debt in the 7 and use the 13 to get caught up on the mortgage, for which no discharge is necessary.
