just file a Ch. 13 and pay some minimal amount into the Ch 13 plan to keep the crediotr at bay until discharge of theCh 13, from 3-5 years, at which time the balance owed on those debts WILL be discharged

Relief can be obtained in a chapter 13. If it has been more than 4 years since you filed the chapter 7 you are eligible to file and discharge that debt. If less than 4 years you can still file a chapter 13 but won't get a discharge. You can set up a payment in the 13 however which might be helpful. I suggest you contact an attorney with sufficient experience in bankruptcy to help you do this right.
