because you are supposed to make sure it reaches the destination before the due date! most likely they have a very small print talking about payment and posting (terms of service and conditions), usually you should post at least 4 days before the due date (excluding)

yes because the day that it was due is already past but if u notifie them that u sent it then it wnt be over the date line
Make sure you mail them a while before they're due. The postmarked date is just the day that the post office recieved it, so any hold ups like a wrong zip code or forwarding done at the company is your problem. Send them out a week early, or pay online. They will take any excuse to charge you.
It generally has to be in their office or processing center by the day it's due, not postmarked by the due date. Government entities are usually the only ones that allow that "postmarked by" rule.
It's your responsibility to make sure it gets there on time. You need to mail it way in advance of the due date to ensure that it arrives on time.
The due date is the date they want the money. It is your repsonsibility to get it to them on time. Doesn't matter if you mail it 2 weeks in advance and the post loses it , you are still repsonsible, although most companies will not charge a late fee if you call and explain what happened and it isn't a regular occurence.
It says received by not post marked by...that's how
It all depends on verbage that will be found in contract. Of course, to most people that is a different language, so my suggestion is to contact company and explain that bill was, in fact, post marked prior to due date, and you assumed that was sufficient. Kill them with kindness, beg, be polite, and you will go much further then arguing. If the first person doesn't comply and remove late fee, simply call back until you get somebody that is nice and helpful. They do exist. The call centers are huge and have thousands of representatives. Also, to cover yourself, request a letter to verify conversation. good luck R
Welcome to the REAL world of bills.

the post dated has nothing to do with late charges. for that matter , the date recieved at mailling address has nothing to do with late charges.

the "date of posting" is the important one

and the companies can hold them for what ever reasons up to 2 weeks with out problems for them. Ask any credit slave card company.
