I don't want to rain on anyone's parade, but BofA is notoriously difficult and downright obstinate in refusing to remove any "legitimate" derogs from people's credit, regardless of reason. I know of at least 3 people with very good reasons (death in family, illness, etc...) that caused a 30 day late for them, and BofA simply would NOT remove them. At least one of them had substantial assets with them, too. Sooo....snowball's chance in hell, but good luck to the OP, nonetheless!
