Yes Usually they allow a grace period for an arears payment, but they do not have to.
A mortgage company usually has a set date that mortgages are due, i.e. the first of the month. Anytime payment is not received by the first it is considered late. However, most MC's have a grace period of 15 days; if it's not received in this time frame a late charge is assessed. If you mail the check on the 6th and it doesn't get to the company until the 17th you will be charged a late fee. The mortgage company must receive the payment before the grace period expires. So in essence NO they can't charge you if they receive the payment by closing time of the last day of the grace period. They CAN charge you if you make the payment after business hours, because it is not considered received until the next day, there is no one to process your payment if the business is closed.
Short answer, yes. If your lender has a grace period and you exceed it, it can be reported. If your loan doesn't have a grace period, it can be reported as late once received as late. It's at the discretion of the creditor and their policies, which should be spelled out on your contract.
It depends entirely on the company as to whether they report it or not. They can report any late payment, even if made during the grace period. If they don't report it, it will not affect your credit. If they do report it, it will show up in the credit reports.

You'd need to check with the credit card company; they are all different. The grace period is some period of time in which you can pay the balance due without accruing interest charges. However, there's typically NO "grace period" on a payment. If you don't have a payment posted on time, you're almost always going to be charged a late payment fee, and often your card's interest rate will be jacked up to the "penalty rate" of 29%.

IT MEAN YOU HAVE A 15 DAY PERIOD TO PAY IT OFF WITHOUT ANY LATE FEES
Charging a late fee when a payment is received within the grace period may breach the terms of the mortgage contract. If the contract states that payments made during the grace period are considered on time, then charging a late fee would violate that agreement. It would be advisable to review the terms and conditions of the mortgage contract to determine if the late fee charge is justified under the agreed terms.
