Dear [Name of Company Representative],

I have been customer since [year account established] and during that time, I have enjoyed my experience with [name of creditor] greatly. I am writing to see if you would be willing to make a “goodwill” adjustment to your reporting to the three credit agencies. I have a late payment on the above referenced account from [date of late payment].

Because of my previously exceptional past payment history, I would like you to consider removing the negative payment from my credit report. At the time of the late payment, I was in the process of [explain why you made the late payment]. I say that not to justify why the payment was late, but rather to show that the late payment is not a good indicator of my actual credit worthiness. I hope that you are willing to work with me on erasing this mark from my credit reports.

I have been a very happy customer in the past and hope to continue a long relationship with (name of credit card company). With today’s credit industry being so competitive, I know how important it is to maintain good relationships with customers. [name of creditor] has been exceptional in my book so far and I highly recommend it to all my friends and relatives. I hope that you will deeply consider my request and prove once again, why [name of creditor] is head and shoulders above the rest. I look forward to your reply.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]
