It doesn't pay to pay early...

I have been religiously paying on a store credit card every since the account was open. It's paid twice a month, on the 1st and the 15th with auto bill pay through my bank. Each payment is above the minimum monthly amount due so I have been paying over twice the minimum amount. I guess they changed something because my husband just found out that we've been getting charged a late fee each month for the last couple of months because the payment is due on the 12th. The payment received on the 1st is too early to count and the payment on the 15th is late.

So um...ok. That's what I get for trying to pay down the balance and even trying to make early payments. I won't make that mistake again.

GRR!!!
