Late Payments?

The minimalness of the tardy is not relative. When a payment is late, it is late and reported as such. If it is less than 30 days late, it will be reported as such. If it is 35 days late, it will be reported as such. As far as it devastating your score, the answer is no, not initially. But if you make a habit of being late, your score will take a hit. If I was looking at your credit report and saw a string of less than 30 day lates, I'd wonder why you didn't request a new due date from your credit card issuers. This would most assuredly, assuming you had the money to pay, solve your late scenario.

It doesnt matter if your payment is only one day late, it hurts you. Always pay your bills on time. Pay them early if you can.

In paying late bills it will affect us because there is an additional interest added on the amount that should be paid.

The late payments absolutely hurts the credit rating.I also agree late is late be it a day or a year.

Well we are working hard and on the day of payments if you face some problems then it is really irritating.But it is a relief after recieving your payments

Sometimes I pay late because it depends on the month like if there is 31 days

I don't have any idea if your rating will be affected when you pay late. I always pay on-time to minimized extra charge.

we do have late payments it is because lack of schedule on payments and due dates that's why we cannot manage our payment bills specially electric bills.
