Late payment fee:
In most cases, you’ll be hit with a late payment fee.If your credit card bill is 30 days past due, a late fee will be added to your minimum payment and any promotional APRs could be revoked.
Your credit score will take a hit:
Payment history makes up 35 percent of your FICO credit score, making it the single most important factor when determining your credit score.
Your interest rate may go up:
In addition to the late fee, your current interest rate will be applied to your balance.
There are steps you can take to minimize the damage:
- Make the payment as quickly as possible.
- Focus on rebuilding your credit score.
- Avoid repeating this mistake.
- Add positive information to your credit report.
