Late payment fee. A late payment fee (a late charge) is charged to a borrower who misses paying at least their minimum payment by the payment deadline.

Late payments may affect your credit history negatively, even if your entire outstanding balance is later paid in full. Occasional late fees are capped at $25 under federal regulations.
