30 days
Generally speaking, the reporting date is at least 30 days after the payment due date, meaning it’s possible to make up late payments before they wind up on credit reports. Some lenders and creditors don’t report late payments until they are 60 days past due.
What is the grace period for late payments?
If you do not pay your bill within 30 days of the due date, the creditor—in addition to charging you any late fees or interest—will have the right to report the missing payment to one or more of the three major credit bureaus (Experian, TransUnion and Equifax).
How can I remove multiple late payments from my credit report?
The process is easy: simply write a letter to your creditor explaining why you paid late. Ask them to forgive the late payment and assure them it won’t happen again. If they do agree to forgive the late payment, your creditor will adjust your credit report accordingly.
What happens if I am 30 days late on my mortgage payment?

How long does a late payment affect your credit?
