credit score changes

Hello, I am a new comer.  My bankruptcy has been removed from my credit reports.  How long does it take for me to see a change in my score?  My score with tu is 612, ex 647 and eq. 604.  What kind of jump should I expect in my scores?  I live in Alabama and I can't get a loan from a bank or department credit cards.  I have heard of people getting home loans with less credit.  What am I doing wrong?  I have 5 cc and all have a zero balance.  I pay them off every month.  I only charge a small amount monthly.  I have family members that can get anything and they are in chapter 7 and it still show up (only 4 years old).  please point me in the right direction.

Re: credit score changes

It seems that my scores are going down instead of up.  I just had an old account removed from my credit reports because it was paid over 2 years ago.  My credit score went down.  My score was higher when I had bankruptcy and 4 other bad marks against me.  What is going on?  Please tell me how I can challenge the credit bureaus or hire a lawyer.  I am sick and tired of these people at the so called credit bureaus.

Re: credit score changes

I've heard on Susie Orman that once a bankruptcy is removed from a credit report, most often the scroes will go down because when the bankrupty is on a credit report, we're judged based on other people who have gone bankrupt.   But when the bankruptcy is removed, we're judged against people who have never gone bankrupt.  Don't know if it's true, but I have heard about scores going down instead of up when the bankruptcy is removed.
