quit claim deed/mortgage implications on rebuild of credit

If I can get out of a mortgage ( that is current ) with a co-borrower will this help or hurt my Fico?    I am in the process of rebuilding my credit after I did a credit card payoff which dumped my score into the 500's from 780.( settled $80k for $16k )   I only have 2 credit card cards left with no balances and low credit limits, no car loans and this current mortgage. I want to rebuild my credit but will it be slower if I am not involved in a current mortgage?

Should I ask for a CLI?

For the 1st time in my life, I am in the 700 club thanks to all your advice. The things helping my score is that I have no inquiries, but the things hurting it is my utilization.   I have a closed Bank of America card that I owe $2250 on.
