Yes, if you file bankruptcy your file needs to be updated to show you no longer owe. If it does not you will need to file a dispute with chexsystems and have the error corrected. Some people have been removed from chexsystems after a bankruptcy. They do NOT have to remove you but they must have an accurate file showing a balance of zero

Will a voluntary auto repossession still show on your credit reports after Chapter 7 is discharged?
Most likely. They are two separate issues.AnswerYes. It will show that you no longer owe the debt, as well. AnswerIt MAY show up, however, if the debt for the vehicle was discharged in bankruptcy, it cannot be reported. There can be no negative reporting on a discharged debt - not even for a voluntary repo. If the vehicle was surrendered as part of the bankruptcy, the loan should show as a ZERO balance, no past dues, and 'included in bankruptcy' on your credit report.

A charge off with a zero balance means that a creditor has written off your account as a bad debt. This will show up as a negative mark on your credit report.

No. It will show that you had a judgment on your credit report for up to seven years, but it will show a zero balance.
What if you forgot to include a checking account information on your bankruptcy case?
"Forgot"? The forms or your lawyer asked for all bank or other financial accounts. If the balance in your account was close to zero at the time of filing, you may not need to worry, but if there was a significant balance, you should amend your Schedule B to include it. Check with your lawyer or get a bankruptcy lawyer.
Can you charge on a credit card that is in your bankruptcy AFTER actually filing bankruptcy?
"Whether a debtor keeps credit cards after filing bankruptcy is up to the credit card company. If you are discharging a credit card they will cancel the card unless you reaffirm the debt. Even if you have a zero balance the credit card company might cancel the card."
