BB 30 day late payment help. Should i attempt direct contact?

[dovedescent7 13]

I am currently using Lexington law to remove some collections, they are doing a great job, we are attempting to get a mortgage soon so our credit has to be good.

 

Unfortunately my wife decided to not (forgot) pay our best buy bill on time, couldn't be a worse time.

 

Its now listed on our reports as 30 days late.

 

 

Long story short, we have never had a late payment with best buy after like 8 years with them..

 

 

Does anyone think that contacting Citibank or whoever does my credit through best buy, and explaining why, or that we are trying to purchase a house, would do anything????

 

Like simply asking the creditor to remove this, this one time, after 8 years without a late payment? Explaining that we are trying to purchase a house?

 

 

Anyone have any suggestions on this???
