How do you report a late payment from a business?

In theory it is a late payment. It is highly unlikely that it would be reported as such. ALthough some creditors depending on how they define "business days" might penalize you with a late payment charge.

A late payment made seven years ago should fall of your credit report as long as there was no other negative information reported on the same account after the fact.

A mortgage will first reflect as a late payment on your report once it is 30 days late -- at the Lender's discretion. Call the Lender to see that the mortgage was posted in time. Even if it was only a day or so late, and you have a good history with them, they may choose to not report this payment as late. If it was a day late, and you don't ask, they will report it.

A late payment can be removed from your credit report. Any information you believe to be erroneous or inaccurate can be disputed with the 3 major credit bureaus and if that information is not verified, it must be removed.

Small businesses should report bad payment history to a business credit reporting agency. A few of the key business credit reporting agencies are Dun & Bradstreet, Experian and Equifax.

You did not include a jurisdiction for your question. Where I live the collection agency can report any failure or late payment of a scheduled payment. That means if you are on weekly they can report you weekly. If you are late by 1 minute they can report that every time also.

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 are 30 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.

Yes late payments can come off your credit report. They can be removed by either the original creditor that put it on there or by the credit bureaus. You can dispute late payments on your credit report with the credit bureaus using the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The FCRA requires the credit bureaus to contact the creditors to verify the late payment. If the late payment isn't verified it must be removed.

Technically you are late if you make your payment anytime after the due date. The vast majority of mortgages are due on the 1st of the month. Most mortgage companies will not assess a late fee unless you are 15 or more days late. At that point the normal late fee will be 5% of your regular mortgage payment. The lender will not report the late payment to a credit bureau until you are 30 days late.

The creditor can charge you a late payment fee and report you late to the credit bureaus. One 30 day late payment can lower your credit score 90 points and cause you higher interest rates and cost you more money in the future.

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.

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.

A joint loan is when both individuals are fully responsible for a loan and it will report on both individual's credit bureau. So if both individual don't make a payment or does not pay enough of the monthly payment it will report on both credit bureau files as a late payment.

You can try, but if you have a history of late payments it probably won't work. Contact the credit company that flagged the late payment and ask for your options. The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) allows any consumer to dispute any listing they believe to be erroneous or inaccurate. So yes you can remove a late payment, but probably not if it is legit. The original creditor can remove the late payment, but usually you need a good payment history with them or pay off the debt for this to happen.

The late payment(s) will show on the co-signer's credit report. If the loan defaults, the company can look for the co-signer to pay the remainder. Co-signing is very risky if the primary borrower has poor credit--it reflects poor payment habits.

Valid entries cannot be expunged from the consumer's credit report by a credit repair agency or by the consumer themselves, they will remain on the report for the required time period. Furthermore, such agencies cannot do anything that the consumer could not do themselves. That being the case, the consumer should not waste funds paying for a service that is often misleading, unproductive and unfortunately in some situations totally unethical. Actually, the above answer is not correct. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act of 2003, if the consumer disputes the late payment and the creditor reporting the late payment on the credit report can not prove that the consumer made the payment late, the negative mark must be removed or corrected on the report immediately.
