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 a mortgage company foreclose if you are a little behind in payments but you are still paying on your mortgage?

The problem is that you haven't really defined your terms. It makes a difference whether "a little behind" means "the next day" or "two months late." It also depends on the precise terms of your loan contract.In general, the contracts are written so that technically the mortgage company can begin foreclosure proceedings if you're late at all. However, foreclosure is enough of a hassle that most do not until you've missed at least two payments, and even then, making up those payments (along with late fees) is usually sufficient to stop the foreclosure.

You you're late on mortgage payments we remodified our loan with the same bank all late charges and fees we're waived can you have the late payment's remove from your credit?

The bank and the credit bureaus are the only ones that could remove the late payments. If the bank waived the late payments, they will probably remove them from your credit as well. You will need to contact them to negotiate that. Otherwise you will have to dispute them to the credit bureaus. They will have 30 days to verify them or they must be removed.
