Does the lender of a second mortgage have any recourse if the payments become late?

Yes, they will report the late payments to the credit bureaus which will damage your credit score, and if enough payments are missed can commence a foreclosure action on the property.


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.


If you fail to pay credit card payments on time how long will the missed payments be reported on your credit report?

Seven years. However, they will have less effect as time goes by. For example, late payments over a year old do not harm your credit as much as late payments from last month. Late payments over 2 years old are generally ignored.


Does your credit score go down if you close a credit card account but do not have any credit card balances?

No. The only thing that has any negative effect on your score is missed payments, insufficient payments, over limit fees, late fees etc.


How can one build their own credit cards?

In order to build credit, one must apply for a credit card and maintain their account in good standing. Any missed or late payments will most likely adversely affect their credit rating.

Credit score of 654 how bad would a volunteer reposession for a car affect your credit?

A voluntary repossession will have a very negative impact on your credit score; however, the damage may not be noticeable immediately. You will still be obligated to repay the loan although you are not in possession of the vehicle. The bank that holds the lien on your car (Honda Financial, Toyota Financial, GMAC, etc.) will sell your former vehicle at an auction and they will only receive a portion of whatever you currently owe. You will be responsible to repay the rest! Because you are not repaying the original auto loan, you credit report will begin to show missed payments for every month that you don’t pay (if it doesn’t already show missed payments already). Payment history makes up 30% of your credit score; as missed payments start to plague you credit profile, you score will eventually plummet to the 500 to 550 range. If you have other accounts (credit cards, personal loans, etc.) in good standing the damage won’t be as bad. Note: consider filing bankruptcy, you may be able to keep you vehicle. And the damage to your credit profile is not as bad as the damage from the missed payments.
