You can try, but if you have a history of late payments it probably won't work. Contact the credit company that flagged the late payment and ask for your options.


The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) allows any consumer to dispute any listing they believe to be erroneous or inaccurate. So yes you can remove a late payment, but probably not if it is legit. The original creditor can remove the late payment, but usually you need a good payment history with them or pay off the debt for this to happen.
