Nope. You choose one or other.  One is complete bankruptcy (discharging) -- Chapter 7.  The other (Chapter 13) is when you actually have a job and can pay debts off.

Try the following for more tutorial information and then try www.attorneypages.com and check his or her record at the Indiana State Bar.
