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.
