Yes, you can increase your credit score by removing late payments from your credit report. You can either contact the creditor that placed the late payments and ask on good faith to have them removed. Some creditors will remove them if it is a one time occurrence, but most won't. You can also dispute the late payments to the credit bureaus. Depending on how old the are and how severe, they can come off your credit report. This will most likely remove the whole account thought, but 1 late payments is worse than all the good credit you can get from a good payment history.
