Only if the creditor reports it as late. Some companies give you a day or two and as much as 30 without reporting you as being delinquent.
Here is a free e book that will teach you how to legally improve your credit score and what to do if you are having credit problems.

Good luck and best wishes.
No, it shouldn't. It usually has to be 30 days late before they report it to the credit bureaus as delinquent.

It really depends on the company though I think all companies give a day or two extra to pay before it affects your credit history. In general in your case I would expect there not to be any problem.
Most likely not.
Your credit card company will only report you if you are always late, therefore in there eyes your a liability. I believe they give you a maximum of 30 days before you get a strange phone call -- haha! Just stick to paying your credit card on time and try not let the interest sky rocket and you'll be fine.
