It seems like BK has less effect on your score the longer you go. I think that your recent account and utilization may be affecting your score more. I bet your scores will come up once you let those accounts age and you pay down your balances.
I'm almost 4 years post BK and I estimate that my EQ score should be close to 700 now ( I haven't checked it in about a month). I'm planning to continue to manage my credit obsessively- minimal to no new applications, paying my bills on time and keeping my utliization low. I should be in the mid to high 700s when my BK drops and I won't be too suprised if I don't get a huge jump in my score.
