IM: The newest delinquent or derogatory status on your installment accounts is too recent.
Description
An installment account is one with a fixed monthly payment for the life of the loan. Auto loans and student loans are common examples of installment loans. You have an account that had a late payment or on which a lender has reported a derogatory status. Your credit file shows that this event occurred too recently. Late payments are a proven indicator of increased risk. People with late payments are at risk of being overextended, putting existing credit with lenders at risk.
Tips
Paying bills on time every month is important to maintaining a good credit score. If you remain behind with any payments, bring them current as soon as possible, and then make future payments on time.
