You are allowed to change the type of case you have. You would not file a new Chapter 13 case if you're already in an active Chapter 7 case, but you can file the appropriate pleadings to have your existing case "Converted." There are a few criteria, so occasionally the debtor's request for Conversion may draw opposition and perhaps even be blocked or denied. But Converting cases between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 is something permitted under bankruptcy law.
