I Have Some Debt That Was Included in a Bankruptcy. Can I Negotiate with Payment to Have Them Removed?

debt

I want to improve my credit rating. I have debt that I am now able to payoff, but they were included in a bankruptcy. I know that consumers have the ability to negotiate to have collection accounts remove with a settlement. Can I do this with accounts included in bankruptcy?
