Barclays CC accidental late

So I have a NFL card from BarclayCard and don’t really use it have a recurring bill of 13 bucks to keep it open. I thought it was autopay or its been like that for past 2 years. However I get an email that my payment was late. So I paid it immediately freaken out I called and they said it wouldn’t effect my credit report/score. Does anyone know if this is true, never been late on any of my payments so not sure how it works. TIA

Unless it's 30 days past due you will be OK.

How many days late was it? If it was less than 30 days, you should be good. I was one day late before and called Barclay and they reversed the late fee as it was due to the mail.

Your credit report will be fine. Barclays will be the only lender who knows you were late. It's possible that there may be some limitations on this one card for a while, such as being ineligible for a CLI in the immediate future.

It was late by a day only, so looks like I am alright....

Re: Barclays CC accidental late

Just curious. If it was on autopay for 2 years, how did it randomly stop? Do you recall making any changes?

Yeah, the 2 years on autopay and then a late payment is concerning.

My thing would be that you call them, and ask for a LATE FEE Forgiveness, say we totally forgot about the bill, and mistakes happen.  No credit report hits or anything will happen unless you totally miss it for more than thirty days.

No I don’t remember making changes, but went online and made sure it was autopay. I didn’t ask for the fees waived as I didn’t care about them was concerned about my score/reports. But apparently 1 day late isn’t going to effect me. I’m going to probably start closing accounts I’m not using, it’s too much effort veryfing all cc
