What appears on my credit report during a chapter 7 bankruptcy?

I'm going to sound like a cranky old man here. (Well I am a cranky old man.) Your credit report should be the last thing on your mind. You are on a cash basis. You will have no credit. If you want something but cannot pay for it you cannot have it. Focus on living within your budgetthat means cutting costs or increasing income. That said, you can reestablish your credit by making regular payments on a credit purchase. Perhaps the best way is to buy a reasonably priced car with payments you can afford. There are several car dealers in Denver who have programs for bankrupt buyers. The interest rate starts out high and goes down as you make payments on time. But remember if you cannot afford it you cannot have it.

A credit report will reflect things such as a repossession as well as the bankruptcy filing.

I don't believe it matters. What goes into credit reports initially is determined by the creditor. You have an opportunity to correct erroneous information under the FCRA.

What is contained in a credit report is not dictated by your bankruptcy. A credit report is not a legal document. It is like a newspaper - just a written rumor of your financial situation that is supposed to follow industry standards.

Your question makes it sound like you are doing your case without a lawyer. BIG MISTAKE. Get counsel before things get more screwed up. You will likely have both a repossession and bankruptcy on your credit history. You do NOT have the right to select the timing once you file absent cooperation with the creditor, and there are adverse consequences to a failure to perform your listed intentions in a timely fashion.
