credit score after bankruptcy removed

Does anyone know an actual way to “quickly” raise your credit score?
I am in dire need of a house at the moment. We can afford quite a few around the city but our credit score is currently 565. There are several items on our report that were charged off in chapter 7 bankruptcy over 7 years ago. Are the credit bureaus supposed to remove this info after 7 years or do i have to initiate the removal? If anyone knows please help.
I know the bankruptcy will stay for 10 years, but i thought the accounts that were discharged in the bankruptcy had to be removed. Along with anything else that is on the report after a seven year stretch.
The bankruptcy status should disappear after a 7-10 year period. I am guessing by your credit score that either due to a lack of credit or not meeting your debt payments of any kind in a positive manner has not been favorable.. Improving that will slowly help improve your score. There may be one possible way to improve your credit score rather quickly. The method is called PIGGYBACKING. It may still be a possibility but the credit card companies and the credit bureaus have been trying to eliminate that action.
How it works: you find someone with a good credit score that has at least one credit card. The individual;if they are willing to do so, will add you as a second card holder named on the account. This can be a risky situation for the actual card holder but your score should improve in 3-6 months as long as the actual card holders credit reports are favorable. You have to be trustworthy enough not to cause an unfavorable credit activity being reported against the actual card holders account.
