Credit Score Damage After a Late Payment A credit score that’s in good shape will suffer more from a late payment than one that is average or poor. For example, a credit score of 800 might drop to 740 or 720 after a single late payment, while a credit score of 600 could drop to 580 or 560. If your credit score has dropped due to a late payment, your best bet is to slowly add positive information to your credit report.
