You can remove late payments from your credit report by disputing them to the credit bureaus. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, every consumer can dispute any item on their credit report that they believe to erroneous or inaccurate. You may also try and contact your creditors, they have the ability to remove your late payments, but usually won't unless you have a good payment history or will pay off the debt.
