Usually, taking off names from the deed must be agreed upon by the parties/owners involved. If in case that you don't have a consent from the person whose name is to be removed, it could be a more complex situation. You'd need to get a legal advice on this and consult a lawyer.

Based on that interpretation, it shouldn't ruin your credit if you signed over the condo with a quitclaim deed.

A quitclaim deed is a poor way to give legal ownership of a property back to a previous owner -- or to transfer it to anyone except those close to you -- because there is no guarantee that your ownership interest is valid and uncontested. The other party likely will insist on a grant deed or a warranty deed.
Using a quitclaim bill of sale can have benefits for both seller and buyer. A seller is able to sell the property without having to ensure the title is clear. They sell it without guarantees, so if, for example, there is a lien against the property, that lien passes with the property to the buyer.
A quitclaim deed is often used if the grantor is not sure of the status of the title (whether it contains any defects) or if the grantor wants no liability under the title covenants.
