Lloyds Standing Order missed

Apologies for what might seem a silly question, but does a missed standing order affect anything such as your credit profile?
This is with Lloyds - it says wouldn't be charged for this and that they'll deem the SO invalid after X consecutive missed SO payments.
This was to another Lloyds account if it makes a difference.

Are you referring to a standing order into a Regular Saver? If so missing a standing order won't affect your credit rating.
With some banks missing a payment into a regular saver can mean your account gets closed, though I don't believe that's the case with Lloyds. You probably can't make an overpayment the following month though.
Best to check the Ts and Cs of the account you are paying into.1 -
If it's a standing order from one personal bank account to another (both yours or to/from someone else) then that would have no effect on your credit record.
If it's a SO that you are using to pay a bill monthly, i.e. utilities, council tax, then that business will log missed payments when they happen no different than if you had arranged to pay by DD.
A personal bank account won't generate a "not paid fee" and don't report to the credit report agencies. A SO to a business will also not generate a fee from the account itself but the business might impose one or add something to its books for you like a late payment fee or interest.
