It will not have much of an impact if that is all there is and you are not late anymore. If it is a credit card that you were late on, it would not hurt to call the bank and ask them to remove the 30 day delenquency from your record. They might do it if you are a long term customer with good payment history.

How will a short sale effect your credit score?

A short sale can have a negative impact on your credit score because it indicates that you were not able to repay the full amount of the mortgage. It may lower your credit score by several points, depending on your current score and credit history. However, the impact may be less severe than a foreclosure.


If you have a 10 day grace period on your auto loan. The payment is originally due on the 9th and your grace period ends the 19th. You pay the payment on the 15th. Does it effect your credit at all?

It depends entirely on the company as to whether they report it or not. They can report any late payment, even if made during the grace period. If they don't report it, it will not affect your credit. If they do report it, it will show up in the credit reports.

When you pay off a tax lien does it reduce your credit score?

PAYING a tax lien has no effect on your credit. What would affect your credit score would be to have the lien released. This is the legal disposition to a lien. Have the release recorded at the same courthouse and send the proof of payment and the release to the credit bureaus. Tax liens have no statute of limitations for how long they can show on your credit report. Having the release recorded and shown on your credit triggers the 7 year countdown for when these public records will be shielded. According to Experian the payment of a tax lien, (which do in fact have statute of limitations of 7 years from the date of payment)payment of a tax lien and the subsequent reporting of the release WILL have a negative effect on your credit score. The logic in the world of credit scoring is this; Once a payment has been made on an old account, this constitutes "activity" on a derogatory credit entry. Recent activity on a derogatory account (even though payment should be considered "good") is considered a negative when computing scores.


Can a paid settlement to the collection agency be reported as paid as agreed?

As a general rule the answer is no. Collection agencies will report this to the credit bureau as being settled for less than what was due, which can have a negative impact on your credit report. While paying this money could seem like an effort to repair your credit, it actually can damage it. A situation like this often results from a debt being old and about to fall off of your credit report. If you pay the money to the collection agency then it will stamp a record of such payment for an amount less than the amount originally due. The worst part is that such a record will stay in your credit file for another seven years from the day the payment was received! If you don't make the payment the negative report resulting from that will probably fall off of your credit report much sooner.

If I don't pay a contract will it go on my credit report?

If you are talking about a cell phone, yes it will. The goofy thing about cell phone contracts that even if you pay on time every time, they will not report the good. Now if you miss a payment, or fail to comply with their terms they will report you as a negative to the credit bureaus.
