Why aren't utility bills reported to credit agencies if they are paid on time?
Utility companies are not credit grantors. You are not borrowing money to be paid back in a specific time period. You are paying for a service when you pay your utility bill.
How many days can you be late on your car payment without affecting your credit?
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.
Does telephone service get reported as a utility bill and does it roll off in seven years?
The credit bureaus do not care about utilities. I have never known a utility bill to appear on a credit report from the big three. It's the unsecured and larger debts (mortgage and car) they tend to be interested in. The theory is that the utility just shuts off your power. No problem. I moved out of my apartment in 1993 and unknowingly left a 123.00 phone bill. Last year, SBC took over Ameritech and they said they had new "collection procedures" and contacted me at my house. This is 12 years later. It was actually a collection agency that contacted me. When I checked my credit report a few months ago, it was listed as a collection and there was several collection "marks" listed for the last few months, so it does occasionally get placed on credit report. I paid it the 1st day they called my home by the way and it was still reported as a collection and that they were "unable to locate" me.
Is utilities a debit or a credit?
