I would keep trying, many people have been told no over and over only to eventually get the lates removed.
I would do a search on here, I was reading a post the other day where someone e-mailed the chase CEO directly and got their late removed from their auto account. May be worth a try, and the address was posted in the thread!
the thread I read was snail mailed to the CEO and they got it deleted... you can try if you want, nothing to really lose.
