I think there are some legal issues that you have to consider before jumping in and applying for credit, something about getting trustee approval (Not sure, I know nothing about Ch 13). 

I've asked the moderators to move this thread to the Bankruptcy Forum.  Those guys are awesome at knowing the legal ins and outs and I think you'll get better responses from them regarding some good steps to take.

Best of Luck to you!!
