Late Payments:
A late payment is
reported by the creditor to the Credit Bureaus when
you are 30 or more days late.
There are 5 ways a bureau may record a late payment:
30, 60, 90, 120, & 190 day lates. The longer the
late the worse the impact on your credit score. Each
month’s lateness will count as new late mark
affecting your score negatively each time.
Payment history is the most important factor when it
comes to a good credit score.
