Hi jasytrue!

Welcome to forums!

Normally the lender gives a grace period of 10-15 days after you fail to give the mortgage payments on the due date. During the grace period, your credit will not take a hit due to the late payments. Lenders consider a loan default only if you are 30 days or more late on the payments. In case of 30-60 days late, lenders do not report the late payments to the credit bureaus but in case of 90 days late, the lenders will report late payments to the credit bureaus and also start the foreclosure process.

Feel free to ask if you have further queries.
