Bankruptcy & Scores

I went thru a bankruptcy in 2003 and understand that it will be on my bureau for 10 years.
Since that time I have a great  re payment record. No lates etc . My credit cars debt is 25% of my total available limit.
My credit scores can't seem to get beyond 620 - 630. Is the bankruptcy holding back my score?
Will I ever be able to increase my score?
Thanks for your imput
Richard

Get your utilization down to 1% and see what happens. You can get all three bureaus over 700 soon. Pay the cards way down and see where you are.
