The EE is only used for derog items like COs, CAs, PRs and is not used for individual lates in good accounts.
I had 2 accounts I contacted EX about trying to get them EEd. They were both 4 months out, one was a CO and the other a CA. The supervisor said no to the CO but was able to delete the CA. The 3 month is not a hard and fast rule for EX. EQ will let you call in for an EE if you are one month away from removal, big whoop.
However, EQ will do EEs on their own starting at 2 - 4 mouths out
