How many days can you be late on your car payment without affecting your credit?

This is the same with every lender, and a common misquoted answer: Before your credit score will be affected by a late payment, you must be 30 days late on your bill. Yet, there is one more caveat, you need to be working with a creditor that actually reports to the credit bureaus. Many creditors do not report to the credit bureaus and have then, a late payment will have no impact on your credit score. That being said, do not assume that is normal, as most lenders do. Typically, creditors that do not report to the credit bureaus, are small banks, utility companies, cell phone providers, and the likes. One point of caution, if you don't pay your small bank, utility bill, or cell phone bill, even though they do not report the payment history to the credit bureaus, they will send your bill to collections and ultimately, that will hurt your credit. Obviously, the best thing to do is to pay your bills each month.

If you are looking to get a cell phone plan, having poor credit may require the cell phone company to collect an upfront deposit from you.

However, always paying your cell phone bill, and always paying it on time will not get reported to the credit bureaus; and thus will not positively affect your credit.
