Yes... the charge off is an accounting entry by them, and if it happened, they may report it to the credit agencies. Charge offs don't change your obligation to pay, just reflects their expectation to receive the money. Once the BK is finalized, they will probably note that it was cleared by BK, so others don't think you still owe it. They cannot try and collect the debt during BK...but credit reporting is not an attempt to collect it. Anything other than accurate reporting of things to the credit agencies by those using the services would result in credit reports being meaningless. Basically, your BK and the accounts it effected will be reported for 10 years from discharge, although the case, being of public record, may well be available to anyone that cares for much longer.

No. A bankruptcy becomes a public record as soon as it is filed. Its the same as any other type of lawsuit. Even if they are dismissed, they will still show up when searching for your name. The fact that a bankruptcy was not completed does not negate the fact that it was filed.
