No credit card required

Hello new to this forum. Trying to repair/rebuild my credit after some bad decisions I made as a stupid kid with credit cards. I had a citi card that was charged off and then later paid off with a payment plan through collections and I was wondering if there is anything I could possibly try to have this blemish removed from my credit reports. My wife and I are trying to get approved for a mortgage and every point counts. The only other thing that is on my credit report are some late payments but I dont think anything can be done for those.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
