Late payments are not created equal; a 30 or 60 day late pay will not damage your score much, and can often be removed. However a 90 day or 120 day late pay will cause significant damage to your score.
This mark can be deleted by the lender as a way to keep your business and keep you happy. We suggest you contact the lender and ask them to delete the mark.
We suggest making a phone call and writing a follow up letter. In your letter you should supply a brief explanation and be polite and respectful, after all they do not have to remove the mark.
A 90 or 120 day late pay will be more difficult to remove. We still suggest contacting the lender, if your account is still open, and ask them to remove the mark.
It is a good idea to make sure your account is up to date before asking them to remove the item from your report. The lender will often look at your payment history to see if late payments are common with your account.
If the lender is not willing to remove the mark we suggest that you dispute it with the bureaus. You can do this be writing a dispute letter and sending it to each bureau or you can hire a service to do this for you.
This mark will stay on your report for a maximum of seven years. Additionally your account will go to collections after 180 days or six months of delinquency.
The lender can remove a late pay from your report because they report regularly to the bureaus. All they have to do is not report the late payment the next time they report to the bureaus, typically monthly.
Your only way of getting help from the creditor is if you account is currently in good standing. Additionally there is information about negative marks and that they will stay on your report for 7 years.
This is not true; a negative item can be removed at any time. Seven years is the maximum amount of time it can stay on your report. The Fair Credit Reporting Act says this and many collection agencies have lost law suits because they did not abide to the seven year maximum.
In sum we suggest contacting the lender to remove this item. If that can not be done then you should dispute it directly with the bureaus, through a dispute letter. - 15224
