This is the same with every lender, and a common misquoted answer: Before your credit score will be affected by a late payment, you must be 30 days late on your bill.
Yet, there is one more caveat, you need to be working with a creditor that actually reports to the credit bureaus. Many creditors do not report to the credit bureaus and have then, a late payment will have no impact on your credit score.
That being said, do not assume that is normal, as most lenders do. Typically, creditors that do not report to the credit bureaus, are small banks, utility companies, cell phone providers, and the likes.
One point of caution, if you don't pay your small bank, utility bill, or cell phone bill, even though they do not report the payment history to the credit bureaus, they will send your bill to collections and ultimately, that will hurt your credit.
Obviously, the best thing to do is to pay your bills each month.

How does a person get bad credit?
By not paying your bills as agreed. Keep in mind that bad entries are reported to the credit bureau if you are over 30 days late from making a payment but make sure that you payment get posted prior to 30 days. Example if you have a car note and its due on the 9th of each month, it will not get reported to the credit bureau unless a payment is not posted by the 8th of that next month as long it will not go over 30 days. You will have to pay late fees but it won't affect your credit. Source: Credit Bible by Phil Turner.

Is it true that a late payment has to be 30 days late before it goes on your credit report?
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.

How do you explain late payments?
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 are30 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.

By how much will a credit score drop if a mortgage payment is 30 days late?
When most credit scores are computed, there is no difference in type of late payment at the 30 day point. Whether it be a mortgage payment, auto loan payment, personal loan payment or credit card payment, the impact is going to be generally the same (unless one has a record of late payments). The credit score will drop from 25 to 50 points for the missed payment and it will take about a year to get MOST of those points back (two years is generally the "missed payment" cutoff for most scoring systems).
