Late Payment
A late payment will reflect on your credit report when it is 30 days late or more. 1 to 29 days late will not appear on your credit report, but you will surely have to pay a late fee, and the creditor may change the conditions of your account; like increasing your interest rate, or closing your account. Probably the most important thing to remember about credit scoring is that a current late payment of 30 days or more will affect the credit score 100 to 150 points.
