Four Things Happen When You Pay Late. 1  Your creditor will charge a late fee. 2  Your interest rate will increase if you're delinquent for 60 days. 3  The late payment is added to your credit report when your payment is more than 30 days late.  Your credit score may drop.
Creditors usually report late payments to credit bureaus when you run 30 days or more past due. Late payments seriously damage your credit score and make it difficult to get credit, as well as saddle you with high interest rates. Late payments can stay on your credit report for years unless you can get them removed.
