I just got a credit card statement that tells me it is due on March 15th at 8 p.m. ET.

Never noticed a time associated with a bill. I would assume that March 15th would mean by midnight.

Banks will do anything to levy a fee. My guess is that has to do with more and more people paying online, possibly up to the 'minute' that bill is due. I pay all of my bills online. Usually days or weeks in advance because banks are our enemies and I don't trust them.

Time for an new round of extreme banking regulations.

Wait... Voters lost Congress, the last word in regulation, in 2010.

Oh well...

3. It's been that way for a while.

Sucks being on the west coast...

4. That's true for payments, but on the upside, we get to sleep three hours longer each day . . .

5. I'm at the office at 8:30 a.m. and I need you now, but I don't hear from you until Noon!!!

Lazy West Coasters!

6. At least you got it now instead of March 14th.

I got a cable bill in the mail 2 days after it was due. Thankfully, I had it on auto-pay a week before, so I didn't have to deal with the horseshit.

7. They have to have a cutoff sometime

I guess this doesnt bother me. Plus I was late paying a bill one time and I got the late fee reversed after one phone call.

Plus my card I use the most has no late fee. They have high standards and will cut you off if you pay late but there is no fee.

8. Thanks for the heads up. I almost always pay well ahead of the due date, but I'd

assumed I had up until 11:59 PM on the due date to pay. I ever need to cut it close, this will be important.

9. And then one month it will be 6 p.m. and they'll make a million dollars in late fees...

... from people who were not paying attention.
