109(d) does not say that. It says you cannot be a debtor in a
Chapter 11 if you can't be a debtor in a Chapter 7. Why can't she
be a debtor in a Chapter 7? She can--she just can't receive a
discharge of debts. You can file a Chapter 11 for her and, assuming
you can get the votes and over the absolute priority rule hurdle
depending on your judge, confirm a plan based solely on disposable
income. That won't eliminate the debt but it will give her a
payment plan. Whether that's beneficial in her situation or not is
another story altogether.

A potential client is asking if she file a ch11 14 months after her chapter
7 discharge. As I read 109(d) she has to be eligible for a ch7; which she
is not. She can't do a ch20 because of 109(e) secured debt limits. So are
there any bankruptcy options? Apparently there is no chapter "18" option.
Have I missed something?
