My question is this. I have 4 mos. of recent late payments reported on my credit report. I was trying to repair my credit but, was set back with this mortgage account. This is a joint account that was paid late. The account is now current but, I need to know how bad is this on your credit report. This is the only account this is reported as delinquent on my report. I recently pulled a credit report via Q-Space and my score was 577. How long will this affect my credit report. I was trying to apply for a department store credit card but, I know that this will probably cause an immediate denial. Will I have to wait 7yrs before I can be approved for a department store credit card with no more lates being reported on my credit report? I have 4 credit cards with no lates reported now. Any advise would help. Thanks

Bea, In the future, if you have to be late, don't be late on the mortgage- this is far worse than a credit card late. 577 score is very low. You will be stuck with the unattractive credit cards and rates until you build back a good history. Above 680 is considered good credit, and when you reach 720 you can basically just make up a story, sign your name, and they believe you. As your "delinquent accounts" age they become less and less important. Some lending institutions have guidelines of 1 year, 2 years; some even like you mentioned 7 years.

Best of luck,
