Once the seven years is up and the Bankruptcy is no longer on your credit report then you have the issue of a big gap in years on your credit report how do you handle this?

The "seven year" thing is somewhat obsolete for a few reasons.
1. Chapter 7 stays TEN years, not 7. Chapter 13 stays seven.
2. Many, many lenders will offer credit before that time frame is up. In under a year from discharge, some subprime credit card companies might offer you a small card. After about 3 - 4 years about 50% of "prime" lenders will do at least something for you if you have re-established some credit. Do this right and the "gap" will be nonexistent.
