It still makes a difference, because the TL is still within the 7 year period that it remains on your CBR. However, since the lates were at least 24 months ago they probably aren't factoring in too much with your score.
The OC might be generous and help you out, but I haven't had any luck with GWing auto loan lates. I'm still sending out GWs for my paid VW Credit account... had around 12 lates over the life of the loan (64 months), and would love to get the most recent ones late 06 removed.
