Filing limits

I understand it is 8 years between filing for chapter 7, but what is the length of time you must wait to file chapter 7 after you have filed a chapter 13.  I have heard it is four years, but is it four years from the date chp 13 was filed or discharged?  Thanks

The clock always runs from file date to file date.  

If you received a chapter 13 discharge, you can't get a chapter 7 discharge unless 6 years runs between the filing of the chapter 13 and the filing of the chapter 7, UNLESS the chapter 13 paid at least 70% - 100% of unsecured creditors, depending on the situation.  

The 4 years is for getting a chapter 13 discharge after a chapter 7 discharge, not a chapter 7 discharge after a chapter 13.
