Can the lean holder file suit against the co-signee?

As long as you are in bankruptcy there is a co-debtor stay. The lender cannot try to collect from your co-signer. If the court accepted the plan the mortgage company did not need to confirm. If the court approved plan is completed, the debt is paid.

If it was a Chapter 7 case, you are not yet eligible to file another Chapter 7 (it is an 8 year waiting period from filing date to filing date). However, if it was a Chapter 13 case you could file either a Chapter 7 or a Chapter 13 case at this time.

What happens to the person that I have as a users on a credit card if I file Chapter 7?

If you are asking whether an authorized user is liable for the primary signatore's obligations on a credit card, the answer depends on the laws of whatever state governs the contract and, most likely, whether the authorized user signed the cardholder agreement.  In most cases if they did not sign the agreement, then they are only liable for the actual charges they made on the card (where they signed for the charges).
