My wife and I financed a home from the owner and this home had a legal closing with a title company and everything is in our name. We pay the insurance and taxes which are in our names also. We purchased this home a little over 3 years ago and have always paid a month ahead and extra, but we need this to be reported to the big three credit bureau companies to raise our scores so we can re-finance. We are currently 17 points shy of being able to re-finance at a good rate. Please help.
Thank You

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.

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.
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.
In most states, there are no foreclosure ramifications. You will in most cases have a 30 day later reported on your credit report. Additionally, you will have a late fee equal to 5% of your mortgage payment.

Mortgage payments can be calculated by the bank the mortgage is financed through. To do this on your own, there are websites with mortgage calculators such as calculators.bankrate.com.

The very minute it's late theoretically it could be reported.

Every creditor can at their option report to none, one, 2 or all three credit bureaus. Generally speaking, most lenders report to all 3.
For a mortgage payment, the only amount that should be listed in the Mortgage Loan Payable section is the principal amount. Any interest that has accrued is reported as Interest Payable.

Failure to make your mortgage payment will result in your lender reporting the mortgage lates to the credit reporting bureaus. Your initial late payment may result in a 30 day late which can bring your FICO scores down.

Most new major credit items are reported to credit bureaus within 45 days of your first installment payment. Lenders have the option of reporting to 1, 2 or all 3 major credit bureaus. Some lenders, such as those that specialize in subprime financing, may refuse to report to credit bureaus unless you are late on a payment.
