Once it is reported to the credit reporting agencies, it is very tough to have it removed. However, you can get them to mark it "satisfied" by providing documentation of such along with a letter of explanation. Keep copies of all correspondence with the agencies.

If you include your house in a bankruptcy chapter 7 how will this show on your credit report Will it show included in bankruptcy or as a separate foreclosure?
If your home loan is included in your bankruptcy, the code describing your repayment behavior on your credit report for this loan will change. If the bank forecloses on your home, the code describing your repayment behavior on your credit report for this loan will change. The loan will have one coded description of your repayment behavior. Credit Agencies only care about your repayment habits, not which mechanism cost you your home. There is no separate report. Your credit is going to be BAD for many years. Whether the house was part of the bankruptcy or whether it was taken in a foreclosure action will not matter (it's not like one is better than the other).
