Impossible to get late payment off report

I have an auto loan with regional acceptance I was like back in 2011. I called them to GW it off or PFD not admitting fault just trying to get the baddie off. I was on the phone for 30 minutes talked to 4 different people only for an account manager to tell me its law that it has to stay on there and will be on there for 7 years. Really at a loss idk what to do. I have a thin credit profile as it is. Any ideas

Re: Impossible to get late payment off report

I have a couple lates I am trying to get removed from my Chase auto loan. Ive sent 5 letters and still working to get them to budge.  Try sending multiple GW letters and see if that will crack it.  Don't stop.  Keep trying!!

I can't say for certain but I'm fairly sure I have read on other threads that this is not a law.  Maybe you could research it and call back and be able to site how the law actual reads.  I think in most cases they are counting on us being uneducated about the way this stuff works to get away with certain things.

Re: Impossible to get late payment off report

The FCRA does state that accurate information has to be reported. It does however not say they have to report. With that being said, you can always send a good will letter explaining your situation at that momment in time. It takes 100 no's but 1 yes to have it changed. How many days were you late? If a 30 day late back in 2011 depending when it happened will have no affect on your scoring at this time. Each late will be removed at 7 yrs from date/month of occurance!!!

 

If you had 90-120 day late then those can affect your scores for nearly the entire 7 yrs. Keep on trucking and never take no for an answer. Smiley Happy

1 : 30 day late. And I paid on the 30 day mark a full payment plus 1 and he said the report was already sent. It sucks. They red flagged me for being late I understand that but they were quick to put it on there but refuse to take it off.

Usually they will update the TL after 30 days. I would call and explain to them that when you paid on the 30th day it is considered paid before the cutoff. thats just IMO.
