How long after filing for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy can you file for Chapter 13?

My sister has been dealing with the IRS for a while and she was recently told by a friend of hers that she could file Chapter 13 Bankruptcy to get all her bills organized and establish a payment that would help her meet her obligations and keep her house. My understanding is that once you file Bankruptcy you can not do it again for 10 years. I could be wrong though -

Is it better to wait out then go for chapter 11?

(Advice for a close friend)
No major Assets.
Self employed – Would this effect his Corporation?
If he goes chapter 11 – (he can qualify) he doesn’t owe anything
but would have to wait 10 years before he can earn credit.

My thought. Wait it out. If his business does really well. He can pay off the debt at a reduced rate which would look alot better.
Or wait 3 years less… Because I think that goes off in 7 years right?

Is this a valid way to remove a bankruptcy from your credit report?

I have heard this is a good way to remove a BK. See below. Has anyone tried this?

Unlike other negative information which stays on your credit report for 7 years, bankruptcy can be reported for up to 10 years.

Bankruptcy courts keep cases active for a period of two years before placing them on microfiche.

If your Chapter 7 bankruptcy has aged at least 27 months since the date of discharge, your in a great position to make it disappear forever, simply file disputes with the credit bureaus indicating that your bankruptcy was a Chapter 13 and not a Chapter 7.

You need not provide any documentation to support your dispute, the burden of proof is on the government.

Bankruptcy courts do not respond to requests for verification on cases which has been archived to microfiche, as a result the credit bureaus are required to remove the bankruptcy from your credit report.
