When most credit scores are computed, there is no difference in type of late payment at the 30 day point. Whether it be a mortgage payment, auto loan payment, personal loan payment or credit card payment, the impact is going to be generally the same (unless one has a record of late payments).

The credit score will drop from 25 to 50 points for the missed payment and it will take about a year to get MOST of those points back (two years is generally the "missed payment" cutoff for most scoring systems).

If a mortgage payment is 20 days late will that be reported to the credit bureaus?

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.

How do you refinance a mortgage that is becoming to extremely hard to pay and have never been 30 days late on a mortgage payment but have a poor credit score?

With FHA/VA you can, but they also have their guidelines. No credit lates in the last 12months No BK 13 in the last 12months, and no BK 7 in the last 24months. No Foreclosure in the last 36months.


If you pay your mortgage payment after the due date but before the day it is considered late will this affect your credit?

If the mortgage company receives the payment before the "late" date, it won't affect your credit if you don't do it all the time. If you do it too often, they may call you a "slow pay" instead of a "late pay" and that will affect your credit in a bad way. Your payment is late if not paid on or before the due date. Most states do not allow a mortgage company to attach a penalty if it is paid within 10, 14 or 15 days, depending on the state, but it is still late, and can be reported as such. That will affect your score.

If you pay 1450 a month in rent and have a perfect payment historty will that help get a mortgage even if you have bad credit which is due to unforeseen circumstances not because of irresponsibility?

Your recent good payment history will definitely help, but if your credit score is low that may be a problem. Lenders don't generally care why the credit is bad, only that it is. That said, almost anyone can get a mortgage these days. Just be careful and fully understand the terms before you sign a contract.


If you have a credit score of 520 should you purchase a condo if the best interest rate you can get is 11 percent?

If you can afford the payment at that rate, then it might be exactly what your credit needs. Mortgage loans play a very large role in credit scores; they can have a positive effect on your score if you keep them current but also can hit the score real hard if you are even just one time over 30 days late.


Will 60 days late mortgage payment effect your credit?

It could. It depends upon the company's policy on when to report late payments: some report after fifteen days, some may allow several weeks or months. If you cannot pay your mortgage it is best to contact the company and ask them to work with you during your financial hardship. Doing nothing is usually the worst thing a borrower can do for his/her credit score.


Do mortgage payments due on the 1st but made before the grace period ends effect credit scores?

As long as your mortgage or other payment is received by the loan company within the grace period which is usually 15 days...it is paid on time and does not show a late payment on your credit report.

If you pay a mortgage by Quick Collect on a holiday and it is reported 30 days late because it was not credited until the next day can you dispute it?

If you ask the lender POLITELY they MAY "correct" this oversight, but they are within their rights to delay crediting your account for anything received during non-business hours until the next business day. One 30-day late payment on your record would probably be overlooked anyway. I agree with the previous answer that this late payment, MAY be overlooked and corrected by the lender. It is in your best interests to write a "goodwill letter" to your mortgage company, providing proof of the mix-up and request nicely that the late payment be removed. I disagree about this late payment being overlooked. Events on your credit report which took place within the last 12 months have significant impact on your credit score. This "History" category accounts for 35% of the score. I've seen a late payment on a mortgage loan drop a credit score 198 points, from 716 to 518 in one month. 716 is a good credit score and allows a consumer to do what they need to do financially. 518 is horrible and got that consumer a credit denial, delays, increases in insurance and existing interest rates on revolving account (HUGE financial impact). If you were truly 30 days late, you had plenty of time prior to this one day to get your payment to your mortgage company. Don't be surprised if they offer little forgiveness for the holiday and method of payment. But, you should try the GW letter, just in case they are understanding. And, always pay your mortgage on time in the future.


How soon can a mortgage go through on a house?

There are a number of factors that influence this. The type of loan, the buyer's promptness in submitting paperwork, etc. Normally it takes 30 to 45 days for the entire process. A buyer with a substantial down payment, excellent credit score and using a conventional mortgage may be able to close faster.
