As long as your payment is posted to your account by the end of the business day before the late charge kicks in you should be fine.
No they will not call you until after the grace period has passed.
No it will not effect your credit even if you go beyond the 10-day grace period because payments have to be 30 or more days late for a lender to report to the credit bureau as late.
It will however start a internal late payment profile with your lender and could keep you from getting additional loans from them in the future.

If you're paying by snail mail it's not going to get there in time before the next billing period. I agree that it's best to call if there will be a problem with a late payment. Most places will tell you they've made a comment in the computer regarding your phone call.
Yes, up front and honest is good. That way they know what to expect and more than likely with only one payment late you won't be send to a credit bureau or get a bad credit rep.
Good Luck!

Most loans state in your contract that you have a 10 day grace period after the due date. I'm not sure if you have this on yours or not, however, even if you make the payment on the due date, as long as you have it in by close of business and it posts to the account that day, you should not incur a late fee, or extra fees. Be sure to read your loan details to make sure. All loans are different. Also, it will not reflect on your credit report unless you are 30 days past due or more. Good luck!

I wouldn't worry to much about 1 late payment. It may or may not show up on your credit report. Most lenders see one late payment as be okay just because most Americans are late at least once.

The payment should be paid on or before the due date. If the payment is due on the Ist of each month and it is posted on the 5th, you will be charged additional interest. It is called per diem.

It depends on the institution; sometimes they call you if you are late. And yes, late paying affects your credit rating.
