I've heard of people getting a house in a Chapter 13 with their trustee's permission.  Hopefully he won't give me a hard time.  Why can't you pull your own credit report while you're in a Chapter 13?  That doesn't make sense to me.  I need to know what's on my report to make sure everything is reporting correctly.  I'm not trying to wait until five years go by and then I see a ton of stuff reporting wrong on my credit report and then it takes me another two years to fix it.
