What happens if you miss a loan payment once?

If you miss one loan payment, and you make the payment within 30 days of its due date, you may only be charged late fees. If you begin to miss multiple payments or are making payments later than 30 days past due, it will be noted in your credit reports, and your credit score will be negatively impacted. Contact your lender to discuss options if you miss a loan payment.

How late can you be on a loan payment?

You can make a late payment on your loan at any time within 120 days, but your credit score will take a hit. Within 30 days, and in some cases 60 days, lenders may just charge you late penalties. Beyond 60 days, you may be dealing with collections agencies. Small claims action may also result. The best advice is to contact your lender and make your late payment as soon as possible.

How does a missed payment affect your credit score?

It depends on how late the payment is. Again, if you make the payment within 30 days past due, you may be charged a late fee, but your credit score won’t be impacted. If the late payment is made beyond 30 days, the lender will likely report this to the credit bureaus, and it will be noted in your credit report. Anything past 60 days, your credit score will definitely take a hit.
