== == If you are in an agreement to make monthly payments, on the same day each month and the payment is NOT received by the lender on THAT day, you are "LATE' Continual late payments are considered a bad sign as it indicates that you are not managing your money very well. When you get more than ONE MONTH behind, that is a further black mark on your credit history.

How do credit repair agencies get 30 day late entries removed from the consumer's credit report?

Valid entries cannot be expunged from the consumer's credit report by a credit repair agency or by the consumer themselves, they will remain on the report for the required time period. Furthermore, such agencies cannot do anything that the consumer could not do themselves. That being the case, the consumer should not waste funds paying for a service that is often misleading, unproductive and unfortunately in some situations totally unethical. Actually, the above answer is not correct. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act of 2003, if the consumer disputes the late payment and the creditor reporting the late payment on the credit report can not prove that the consumer made the payment late, the negative mark must be removed or corrected on the report immediately.

I made a telephone payment and my payment was reported late to credit agency?

Apparently, the telephone company received your payment after the due date. Statements usually specify a "Due by" date. If you are mailing in your payments, it is likely you are not mailing it early enough to beat the "Due by" date. You need to mail the payment 5 to 7 days before the "Due date" to allow sufficient time for delivery. Since the telephone company reported the late payment to the credit agency, it is very likely that your payments have been reaching them late pretty regularly.
