Is it considered bankruptcy fraud if you get a credit card while in chapter 13 and are unable to pay for it and now it is in collection?

Probably- you are not allowed to apply for credit during a 13 unless the BK court approves it. Since you are bankrupt (i.e. you cant pay your bills) and you now take out more credit- a creditor can argue that you had no intentions of ever paying that credit card back or that you took on more credit when it was highly unlikely you would be in a position to pay it back. No way around it- you have definitely messed up your bk.
