No, it just means that you have a minor late on your report. Plenty of people get approved for great cards with one 30 day late payment. You can contact creditor and ask them to remove it as a goodwill gesture.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Very high chance actually.  Especially if you write them a letter.

What's considered a high chance? Have you done this numerous times and were successful most of them?
I have about 15 data points with 1 success story, in my books thats slim

I have done it twice worked both times .  And I know a few Ppl that did it and worked.

Odds in this always depends on bank and the way you do it.

My chase card and my wife's Discover. Having 15 lates is hard to then even remove one as you can not say it was a 1 time thing. Regardless send a letter that will 1)explain why it happened 2)Why it wont happen again 3) how its effecting you.
