Help in updating my credit file

I obtained a copy of my credit report this morning - I am still bankrupt at the moment, not discharged till May 09 (yipee). However, when I am looking at my credit report 3 accounts are sitting at DEFAULT (2 of them sitting with a balance - one sitting as settled)....... will this change once I am discharged or do I have to change this to update?

Can I add a statement of support to my credit file to explain my circumstances?:confused:

    Hi, you can add a notice of correction onto your credit file upto a certain amount of words if you would like to put a statement on there about your current situation.

    As far as I am aware, you can get everything about the defaults etc sorted once you are discharged from your BR. There is a sticky at the top of the forum about the credit file clean up post bankruptcy.

    :D
