If it's over 30 days late in the credit card payment due to lost statement and credit card company waives the late fee and charges will this affect the credit report?

The credit report does not include late payments unless you are over 60 days, and it is really generally up to the credit card company to write it in. Most credit reports i have read are: account holder, when opened, when closed, who closed the account (you or them) how much was granted, how much was borrowed, how much you still owed. The monthly payments are usually in some check-like form where you can barely distinguish each and every date if you really try hard. If the credit card company is going to waive the fee for it, it is like it never happened. I can almost be positive that it will NEVER reach your credit report.


Is there a way to avoid paying late fees and over-balance fees on a credit card?

I used to get fees like that, and I'd call the card company and just ask them to waive it and they would. that was MBNA. I imagine that other banks would vary. I also would imagine that the entire point of offering a card with a $200 credit line is just to cheat you on fees.


Do credit card charges increase if you make a few late payments?

Depends on the credit card company. If you are constantly late with your payments you have to pay the late fee and some companies may charge you a higher rate.


What happens to your credit report if you have a late payment and finance charge?

Maybe nothing. It depends upon whether the credit card company reported the delinquent activity to the credit bureaus. If it was a one-time issue (and otherwise you're always on time with your payments) you can contact the credit company to ask that they waive the late payment fee as a customer courtesy, just explain it was an oversight on your part and won't happen again. You can also ask if they reported the missed payment to the credit bureaus, or run your credit report to find out yourself.

Can a credit card company report a 30 day late on a closed account that still has a balance?

If a credit card is closed it cannot have a balance. Just because you have stopped using the ard you cannot declare the account closed. If you owe even one penny, the account is open and the credit card company can 'report a 30 day late'


Which credit card companies do not have late fees as a part of their cardholder credit card agreements?

From what I've seen, all credit card companies charge late fees. However, it's important that the card holder makes sure that the fee actually is something that they owe. The Credit CARD Act of 2009 helps clarify this. If you're charged a late fee, look at this to make sure the card company has a right to impose the fee.
