How far back do lenders usually request a LOE for late payments? Is it for any lates shown on your credit or just for those in the past 2 years?
When I applied for my mortgage back in 2010 I was required to complete a LOE for all inquiries and lates up to 2 years out. I had multiple derogs on a CC from 2006 but since it was 4 years old they didn't care. Although, I did not finance through a major well-known bank. I went with the home builder to get the "discounted home price" and it was promptly sold to BoA.

It depends on the lender. Two years is reasonable [as they also want at least two years of positive history] so be prepared for at least two years.
