Any data points on late payment hitting 2 yr mark?

For those that have had a late payment hit the 2 year mark and monitored their score before/after, would you mind sharing what type of score gain was realized and also provide some personal profile-related data to go along with it?

 

What severity was the late payment?  (30, 60, 90, etc) - Was it your only late payment?  If not, how many others did you have?  Any other baddies?  Thick or thin file?  AAoA?  Aggregate utilization?  Inquiries?  

 

I've got a 90 day late payment hitting the 2 year mark next month and am just trying to get an idea of if I stand to gain a point or two or possibly a little more, and seeing others with similar profile data and their experiences with hitting the 2 year mark could help me with that.  Thanks everyone.

Glad to know about this news here. Though this ins't happened to me and got very late payment. However, thank you for let us know.

I wasn't providing any news or data unfortunately, I was soliciting it from others that have experienced it already.  I'm a bit confused by the above post.

Re: Any data points on late payment hitting 2 yr mark?

Years of anecdotal posts here in the forum indicate that minor derogs (30/60 lates) loose most of their scoring impact after approx. 2 years.

However, major derogs continue to have significant impact throughout their reporting lifetime.

 

Additionally, FICO uses different scoring algorithms ("buckets") that are based on overall categorization of your credit file to provide a comparison of consumers with similar categories of other consumers.

Having any major derog is a recognized scoring categorization that places your scoring of payment history in a less favorable category ("bucket").

More significant scoring increases are usually seen once all major derogs are gone.

 

Thus, the effect of minor derogs hitting 2 years is likely dependent upon whether or not the report shows any remaining major derogs.

Right, I understand all of that thoroughly.  That's why I'm looking for data points from others that have had a late payment whether minor (30/60) or major (90+) that's crossed the 2 year mark as based on their unique profile it would be interesting to see what the scoring impact would be.

Most of those people are gone unfortunately.

 

I might get a datapoint next November if I can get my lien early excluded off TU and at least one other bureau by that point.

Haven't logged in for multiple years is what I mean.

 

IIRC all the testing that was done on it was on FICO 04 and earlier, I've not seen anything on FICO 8 personally.  Did get a pretty good datapoint that VS 3.0 effectively ignores 30 day lates after a year (singleton late no others for a pattern) but that's not worth anything as far as FICO goes.

I guess I'm not following you. 

 

How would there be any fewer people on these boards today that possess late payments that have crossed the 2 year mark (say in the last year) than there were a few years ago?

 

I'm just looking for someone that say had their last late payment in October 2014, then this past October 2016 when the late payment past 2 years I'm curious what their score was just before it hit 2 years and then when it passed 2 years.  Hopefully that makes sense.

Brutal- I had a 90 day late on an auto loan that fell off my Equifax at 7 years.. It was my very last baddie on Equifax.

I gained 38 points.
