We have always sent our payment in a little earlier than then needed and, most of the time more than the minimum due. Then all of a sudden I took a REAL close look at one of My bills, (I usually just glance at the minimum due and write a check).
This last round of doing the bills I noticed something not right and pulled the past statments, low and behold My balance was hardly moving due to late charges. Whats up with that? I send the payments so they won't get there late. Maybe they hold up the payment envelopes in the mailroom until the end of the payment due cycle, don't you think? (conspiracy theory maybe?)
This is not the first time though, I had sent in a payment 4 or 5 days prior to due (1 day mail travel time), 2 days after the due date They call My work demanding payment even though I told them when it was sent, I was told "well maybe it hasn't been processed yet" and I found out later that they cut off My credit limit. Maybe because I got a little perturbed that by this time it should have been processed? And it turns out I was still charged a late fee. This TOTALLY SUCKS.
Let's garher together people and fight to put a stop to this, once and for all. Power to the people!!
