In 2004 and 2005 I was deliquent in paying back my student loan. Since 2005, I've paid on time. It's the only blemish on my credit report. Does the government have a "forgiveness" or second chance program to remove this from my credit report?

Credit problems are some what self eliminating. Depending on the type of issue there is a time limit. Bouncing a check and having it go to a collection agency takes 2 years to disappear. Filing for bankruptcy takes 7 years to clear. I am not sure about the timer on a late payment but if you keep making your payments on time it will eventually work out.

Time will improve it.

The further into the past the one blemish falls, if good habits current, the blemish carries less and less weight over time.

No, but creditors will know what it means if there are no more late payment notations after that period of time. Also, you can send an explanation to the 3 major credit bureaus and they have to include it when your report is sent out.
