Short answer, yes. If your lender has a grace period and you exceed it, it can be reported. If your loan doesn't have a grace period, it can be reported as late once received as late.
It's at the discretion of the creditor and their policies, which should be spelled out on your contract.

How does a person get bad credit?
By not paying your bills as agreed. Keep in mind that bad entries are reported to the credit bureau if you are over 30 days late from making a payment but make sure that you payment get posted prior to 30 days. Example if you have a car note and its due on the 9th of each month, it will not get reported to the credit bureau unless a payment is not posted by the 8th of that next month as long it will not go over 30 days. You will have to pay late fees but it won't affect your credit. Source: Credit Bible by Phil Turner.
How do you explain late payments?
When you are late on your payment for a credit card, car loan, mortgage, etc... these "creditors" can report this late payment to the credit bureau that they have a relationship with (either Trans Union, Experian, or Equifax).These credit bureaus in turn stick it on your credit report which negatively affects your credit score.There are30 day late payment items,60 day late payment items,and 90 day late payment items.Many people remove these items by disputing them with the credit bureau (the credit bureau then has 30 days to go back to the creditor to verify the late payment). Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.
If a credit card payment made just 4 days late can the payment legally be reported as 30 days late?
Yes. But if the account holder has been in good standing and tis is the first late payment, it probably won't be reported. 4 days late can legally be reported as "past due" on your credit report, but this is unlikely. The account cannot be reported as 30 days late unless it is ACTUALLY 30-59 days past due. Each creditor is different. Some report from last pay date, some report from last due date.
When is the debt reported to the credit bureau?
Normally 30 days after it is sent to a collection agency if you don't ask for validation or 180 days which is considered charged off account.
What can you do when you've been paying medical bills but the hospital reported it to the credit bureau anyway?
First of all if you did not start paying on the medical bills until they were in collection, then they were going to be reported anyway. Although you are currently making payments on an account there are still limitations to how long you can take to make full payment such as 30, 60, 90, and 120 days. Unless specified or if you have made arrangements with the creditor then after 120 days legally they can sue you for the remaining balance. The key to not having it reported is to set up a payment arrangement. The only stipulation to this is if you miss one payment your account can immediately be stne to collections. This is not legal advice. If there is more information not disclosed in the above question, please contact creditor, credit bureau, and a lawyer.
When do mortgage companies consider a payment late?

Is it true that a late payment has to be 30 days late before it goes on your credit report?
Only late payments that are (at least) 30-59 days may be reported in the 30 day counter and only payments made that late change your rating from an R1 or I1 to an R2-I2. However, should a payment be even ONE DAY past due, that information can be reported on your credit report without changing the RI-I1 status. There are different fields of information on your credit report. So, it is uncommon, but possible, for a past due payment to be reported that is not actually 30 days late.
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.
Can collection agencies report the same dept more than once and for different amounts to the credit bureaus?
No. You have to put in a dispute saying that the two are the same debt and that there reported for two different amounts. The credit bureau will dispute it for you and have it fixed. The company in most states has 30 days to respond with the correct information. And then the incorrect information will be removed. If they don't respond at all to the credit bureau in 30 days the credit bureau will remove them both completely from your credit report. It is a win win situation.
When do collection agencies report the debt to the credit bureau?

I made a telephone payment and my payment was reported late to credit agency?
Apparently, the telephone company received your payment after the due date. Statements usually specify a "Due by" date. If you are mailing in your payments, it is likely you are not mailing it early enough to beat the "Due by" date. You need to mail the payment 5 to 7 days before the "Due date" to allow sufficient time for delivery. Since the telephone company reported the late payment to the credit agency, it is very likely that your payments have been reaching them late pretty regularly.
