After repaying the loan in full immediately, call the bank customer service hotline (such as China Merchants Bank 95555, China Construction Bank 95533) to explain that the overdue payment was not malicious. Recently, many banks have launched "grace time services", usually with a 3-day grace period (specifically subject to bank policy).

In addition to repayment, you need to focus on credit reporting issues: 1) Ask the bank to issue a non-malicious overdue certificate; 2) Continue to use the card for 2 years to cover the bad records; 3) You can try to file an objection application with the central bank's credit reporting center.
