Late Payment

Hi everyone,

I have a studio account which I have been paying monthly. Stupidly last month I missed the payment date but realised then paid as quick as I could. I looked on Noddle today & there's a late payment in red.

Is this as bad as I'm thinking it is, I have been making overpayments to Studio since Jan so I'm really disappointed as I'm trying to rebuild my credit rating :(

    Hello there,

    The odd late payment shouldn't have too much a detrimental effect. Continuous missed payments/defaults and county court judgments are the things that could cause huge difficulties.

    We have a useful fact sheet which covers credit referencing, which you can find *here*

    Best wishes,

    David @natdebtline

    Why not set up a Direct Debit to pay the minimum payment each month? You can always top this up as and when you are able. Then you wouldn't get any late payment marks on your credit file.
