I'm two years post ch7 discharge and still have a ways to go befor hitting 700. Six months is too short a time period for that goal.

Re: help runing out of time need help

What exactly is it that you're running out of time on? From your title "help runing out of time need help" it sounds like you're about to be tossed out on the streets and/or into debtor's prison. From your post it sounds like the only thing you're running out of time on is how much new credit you can get in your 1st year out of BK. That BK is going to be on your CR for 10 years, the accounts you diuscharged in BK will be on your CR for 7 years. Rebuilding credit is a slow process requiring patience, it's a maraton, not a sprint race. You won't get back to 700 in one year, and you won't get back to 700 with that many inquiries and new accounts - lenders & credit scoring models want to see continued, lengthy on time payment history post BK, what they don't like to see is alot apps for new credit and a bunch of new credit accounts open too soon to rate.
