Rough times caused me to have a 30 day late on my credit very recently and I'm spooked on what my other creditors will do about it. It happened on my AMEX account and after paying off a large chunk of the balance on the card they cut my CL in half without notice. I do have high credit usage but recently paid a few cards off to $0. I've never been late on any other accounts.
My score took a 50 point hit and I'm just devastated about it all.
Is it likely that other creditors will seek AA on me??

AMEX is quick to pull the trigger on CLDs if one is late, I would not worry about AA from anyone else as long as you are continuing to payoff the high util. What I would be doing is sending AMEX a GW letter explaining why it happened and ask for forgiveness. Good luck and Happy Holidays 
No, typically ONE 30 day late won't cause AA from other lenders, but please be sure you don't have any more of them...because TWO 30 day lates WILL cause AA.
Speaking of AA, I could use a drink....
