Of my 46 loans.  1 is now late (less than 15 days).

Here is what Prosper.com says will happen now:

What exactly happens if I’m late?

Below is the schedule that Prosper follows in the event of a borrower missing a payment due to insufficient funds (NSF). At any point in this process, if your outstanding payment is paid in full, your account will be returned to “Current” status.

Day 0: First payment attempt

• On the day your payment is due, Prosper will attempt to withdraw payment from your bank account.
