Idiotically forgot to pay one of my credit cards this month and was a day late. I payed it as soon as I found out the next morning. How much will this stupid brain fart affect my credit score? This is my first late payment ever.

And while we're on this subject, how much does the lateness of the payment play a factor? Is 5 days exceedingly more detrimental than 1 day?

Not an expert, but if u call them, they probably take off the late payment notification. So it wouldn't hurt you at all.

Paying one day late won't do a thing. Relax.

They will only report you to the credit bureaus if you're 30 days late or more. You may have a late fee but that's it. You're good.

Call them. Ask if they waive fees for 1 day

I've done it at least 4 times in my life

All they can do is say no

And not one said no to me
