A late payment can stay on your credit report for up to seven years. This is the standard time limit for most items. Only a bankruptcy can stay longer -- up to 10 years in some cases. But for late payments, seven is the magic number. You can think of your credit reports as a record of your previous debt payments.
Hereâs a summary of how late payments impact your credit scores: 1  30 days late: This record will damage your credit scores most when it is recent. 2  60 days late: Similarly, recent 60-day late payments cause the most damage. 3  90 days late: This record will damage your credit scores significantly for up to seven years. It doesnât make a difference whether or not your account is currently 90 days late. Remember, the goal of the scoring model is to predict whether or not you will pay 90 days late or later on any credit obligation.
