Discharged through Bankruptcy Chapter 7/Account Charged off

Many of the accounts that were included in my bankruptcy say discharged through Bankruptcy Chapter 7/Account Charged off. Is this hurting my fico scores? I've been reading the threads in here and found one about this but I am not sure that my situation is the same as what they were stating. Listed below is an example of what is on my credit report. Should I dispute this to just show discharged through bankruptcy chapter 7?

Re: Discharged through Bankruptcy Chapter 7/Account Charged off

It is showing that the charge off was IIB and discharged under Chap 7 in Sept 2005.  That's what it is supposed to look like and it impacts your score like any other paid derog.
 
You can write a GW letter to Kohl's and ask them to remove the entire TL, just like any other paid derog TL.  They may or may not, but legally they can choose not to report this.  The BK has no bearing on GW.
