Question on Auto Loan re. Late Payments and paying off the loan

Ok, so I have an Auto Loan with Capital One Auto, and after a variety of heart-rendering problems blah blah blah, I got behind and had a bunch of Late Payments a couple of years ago. I'm now completely current with them and have been for 2 years. I sent a GW letter asking them in the kindest and most eloquent terms to delete some late pays from my TL. I didn't dispute them, as I really was late.

 

Well, they basically sent me a copy of my account payment history, I guess that was their way of saying, "you were late, and we don't care why".

 

SO my question is, if I pay the Loan off in full (I only have a remaining balance of around $2000), do those Late pays go away when the account is satisfied in full? DO I have any other options? I could scrape up the $$$ to pay the balance to $0, but it would get tight in the Dolan house.  Or should I just keep GW'ing them till they get tired of me and delete some of the lates.

 

Advice and/or info is greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately, the lates stay on the account until the whole TL drops off (I've got the paid autos to prove it...) or you find a sympathetic employee w/ your GW letter.

Thanks Honda

Re: Question on Auto Loan re. Late Payments and paying off the loan

I have a similar situation.  I was late a few months ago, yet Capital One is still reporting as 30 days past due.  I sent a letter asking them to at least report monthly, since I have been paying as agreed.  I haven't gotten a response back.  I plan to keep sending letters and e-mails and faxes.  I know the lates were my fault, but it seems the least they could do is report monthly and not only report when it is 30 days past due.
