Equifax weighs payment history at around 35% of your credit score. However, the overall factor is calculated considering how late your payments are, the amount owed, and how often you miss payments.<\/p><p>This means a one-off missed payment settled immediately won\u2019t drop your score as significantly as a history of missed payments. Lenders in Canada generally don\u2019t report a payment until it\u2019s 30 days late.
