How bad will a day late payment on a credit affect me?

late payment
Jiggawokie asked:


So this past billing cycle I paid a card online after 5pm (EST). I paid the card balance full at 4pm (PST). How bad and how long will a day late payment on a $10 balance on a gas credit card affect my 5 year old once perfect credit history. I noticed that I got a late fee, which means that it was categorized as late, apparently chevron/texaco credit cards have no grace period.

Call them and ask them to remove the late fee, they will usually do it if you regularly pay on time

It will do nothing. They do not start reporting until you are 30 days late usually. A freak 1 day slip will not hurt you at all.

Not at all I should think. But these card companies are sooooo slimy in getting those extra dollars from a person. Exhorbitant interests rates, plus the extra “humongous” fees for overdraft. I always try to pay everything at the end of the month and thus, I pay them nothing in “user” fees.
