No, the items still aren't paid and were still charged or written off by the lender. Agreeably, the BK may make it so what you still owed is no longer due...but it was charged off (somebody took the loss and didn't receive what they anticipated and you promised they would, resulting in your benefit).
And BK generally doesn't change the status (or release) a judgement...which once again will have always occurred and should be reflected as such...but may at some point become satisfied or the still due amount dismissed. You can't change accurate history... you had debts that the lenders had to act and go to judgment or collection over, that weren't paid as agreed.
