I saw my discharge within 72 hours. It is usually pretty quick and your score "should" go up maybe 20 points. The closing of the case should also give you a little dump.
My fico was around 600 when my 13 discharged. I got a secured card 3 months later. I got the Barclay card 1year post discharge another couple months later. I only let one card report a small balance. My score was around 690 until my bk fell off credit report then I am now high 700's.

Having wrote that, time is the largest factor.
In an asset case which was discharged over a year ago, should I still expect a small bump in scores when the case is closed?
Also, I have been looking for the FICO credit score ranges (Average Credit Score: 620 to 679), etc..., any one know where to find this?
Thanks

I have found that around the 24 month mark, after discharge, the score gets another bump. At 24 months after discharge, my middle FICO score was 681 (true FICO from MyFico).
