Do you have other derogs on your file or is your file clean now?
Other derogs are lates, 30-90 day lates. TU, by far, lists the most lates, all in a string as well. The oldest lates have already fallen off.
Once all the lates fall off, that is when you are going to get a huge bump in score.
My newest late won't fall off until May 2026. Since each late will fall over almost everything month, I will see a small score increase every month, unless I can get TU and EQ to due EE.
I filed another dispute with TU for one late on one account that is over 6.5 years old using "Not a dispute, requesting an early exclusion of this item from my report. Thank you"
We will see if this wording works.

You should see a small increase, but it will snowball to larger score increase with the biggest increase when your last late falls off.
I submitted for EE of a 30d late from Jan 2018. It's taken them weeks to respond, and all they did was verify. They kept the 30d late.
I hope you have better luck.
I think that technically I'm not allowed to resubmit a dispute for the same thing for a while, but I'm tempted to somehow resubmit it.
It is my only late on my entire report for all these years.

Did you call or make an online request. If you did online, what box did you check?

Online. I checked "The payment history/rating is incorrect". That reason is the most accurate one that I could find.
When I did this with TU I found calling as soon as they open to work best. That why they are usually in a good mode. I also made sure the call was recorded to make sure they couldn't go back on their word.( I disclosed that). They did it instantly and received confirmation in the mail a week later. Best of luck!
