Oh no! I just realized that I missed a payment on my Discover card - the whole balance was $5 - I missed it by 3 days - how is this going to affect my credit score and how can I rectify it?

On a business credit card, will carrying a balance (making at least minimum payments) affect your credit?

Not if the card doesn't report.

Like said above pay it now, and try not to miss the next month payment, if after 2x missing then you can start worrying..
 No NEED to be traumatized because of this, you can still use the cc.  ;)

Depends on the issuer but it has nothing to do with the pull, most likely it'll report to all three at the same time.

So any card that wouldn't count towards 5/24 would fall into that category

Anytime one has a debt or late payment which credit Bureau is notified? Ever that all 3 are?

IINM Citi reports when your first statement closes but I could very well be wrong on that. I modified my post above btw, I meant that they'll report to all three CB's at the same time not that they necessarily report as soon as it's opened.

If they actually notify, then all 3 are notified. See my below response.
Oh no! I just realized that I missed a payment on my Discover card - the whole balance was $5 - I missed it by 3 days - how is this going to affect my credit score and how can I rectify it?
To clarify the above posters saying to pay now, for the vast majority of cc issuers they do not report late payments until at least 30 days late (from payment due date, not statement date),soem are 60 or 90 days.
If you pay it now all youll face is interest and a late fee. Putpac should probably get both removed assuming this was the first time this happened.

IIRC they are not allowed to report the account late to the CRA until it is 30 days late or more.
