Depends on your situation, chapter 13 is easier on your credit, chapter 7 dismisses your debts if you qualify but hurts your credit more and stays on your report for 10 yrs. Check with a lawyer, most offer a free 1 time counsiltation and will advise you of your options.

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.
