My chapter 13 was discharged 10 months ago. I just checked my Equifax FICO mortgage score through DCU and its 691. Only 9 more points until I reach 700! It was a rough journey but there is life after bankruptcy!
Yes, there is! Seven years for me since filing and the scores I have blow my mind. Well, except for Experian, who hasn't dropped the "bad" stuff yet. It will happen!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Yeah... that's what I'm expecting. ^^
Mine are 678/687/665 with the BR and IIB accounts still reporting on all 3 for a few more months. TU is my lowest score but will be the first one to delete everything with EQ and EX to follow.
We filed January 2010 so we have a while before ours and the baddies falls off the credit reports. That will be the next milestone, January 2017!
Yay! It gets closer evey day!
