Dear Sir,
Re: Account Number ____________
This letter is a sincere request for your help and consideration.
Back in [mention the year when the negative item was listed]_____________, I was financially strapped and could not help making a few late payments on the account mentioned above.
I completely disliked paying late and still feel bad about it. However, as soon as my financial situation improved, I started making timely payments and I have been striving hard to make financially responsible decisions since then.
At present, I intend to buy a house. But, due to the negative listings from my past late payments, I am not being able to get a reasonable mortgage rate. So, I humbly request that you remove this negative item from my credit report as a gesture of goodwill.
I would sincerely appreciate if you consider my request.
Sincerely,
Your Signature_________________
