Generally, late payments over 30 days late are reported to a credit reporting agency. After that, late mortgage payments can become "missed" mortgage payments. And missed payments can affect your credit score in a negative way. However, your exact late payment will depend on how your specific mortgage lender reports payments to the credit bureaus.

What can you do about a mortgage company that does not report your on-time payments?

What happens to your credit report if you have a late payment and finance charge?

Maybe nothing. It depends upon whether the credit card company reported the delinquent activity to the credit bureaus. If it was a one-time issue (and otherwise you're always on time with your payments) you can contact the credit company to ask that they waive the late payment fee as a customer courtesy, just explain it was an oversight on your part and won't happen again. You can also ask if they reported the missed payment to the credit bureaus, or run your credit report to find out yourself.

It will most likely be turned over to a collection agency. Then it will be reported to the credit bureaus which will make it difficult for you to get loans in the future.


If you paid your mortgage 20 days late and were charged a late fee will this be reported to the credit bureaus?

That's at the discretion of the lender, and/or terms of the loan. If the mortgagee has a good payment history many lenders will not report a single late payment. It is possible that your mortgage company reported your loan as "past due", but not likely. This is one column/heading in a typical credit report. The rating of I1 or M1 would not change, nor would the delinquency be reported in the counters until your mortgage was 30 or more days late. The ordinary procedure is for mortgage companies to report only 30+ delinquencies. According to each individual contract, they may charge late fees if you pay 5,15 or 20 days late, but this generally is not reported against you. To be sure, it would be best to obtain copies of your credit report from all three reporting agencies. Address any late payment showing NOW and see if your mortgage company will remove that late as an act of goodwill.
