I have not had any dealings with Chase, but being the late payments are pretty recent... and extended for a long period of time, I wouldnt count on it. But hey, calling and sweet talking the right person might do the trick... you never know until you try.
i have a couple mortgages with chase and had a 30 day late in 2009. Despite having 20 years of on time payments, they refused to delete or even stop reporting. Integrity of reporting they said. I wrote emails to everyone at every level. It just fell off a few months ago.
Long way of saying your chances are slim...but you might get lucky.
