Outcome and timelines vary by profile, bureau reporting, and documentation available.
Affirm can lower your credit score when something negative is reported (such as a delinquency), or when the account structure changes your profile (for example, a new tradeline affecting average age). In many cases, the biggest drops happen when a payment is reported as late or when an account is coded in a way that looks more severe than the real situation.
Whether Affirm reports late payments depends on the type of account and how it is furnished to the bureaus. Some installment-style BNPL accounts may be reported and late payments can appear as delinquencies if reported.
Many consumers discover their biggest issues are not “being late” but how the account was coded or what month was marked late. These are common problems that can be reviewed for accuracy:
If an Affirm late mark is legitimate, the goal is to stabilize the account and rebuild positive momentum. If it is inaccurate or inconsistent, the goal is to document and correct the reporting.
Underwriting reviews often focus heavily on recent payment behavior. If you are planning for a mortgage or major financing, clean payment history and clear reporting matter. If the Affirm tradeline is inaccurate, inconsistent, or coded incorrectly, correcting it can materially improve how the file looks to a lender.
If your timeline is tight, focus on: (1) stopping new negatives, (2) improving utilization, and (3) correcting reporting inaccuracies with documentation.

It can temporarily influence your profile if a new account is reported (average age changes). The bigger negative impact typically comes from late payments, severe statuses, or reporting inconsistencies.
Reporting depends on the account type and how it is furnished. If a late payment is reported and it is inaccurate, inconsistent, or unsupported, it may be correctable.
Items may be corrected or removed when they are inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, or cannot be properly verified. Results vary by documentation and bureau responses.
Save proof of payments, compare how the tradeline appears across bureaus, and stabilize your account. Then take focused steps to correct any inconsistencies while improving utilization and keeping payments clean.
