Agreed. I was in the exact same situation about a year ago (Except my bank was Cardinal bank and the CCC was Citibank instead of AmEx), and guess whose fault it was. Mine! I partially blame Citibank for trying to pull funds from the account number with the routing number I listed without verifying it first, but ultimately it was my fault.

Forgive me if I'm mistaken.

I have read other posts on the net from folks who have described the EXACT same scenario that happened to them with regards to payment processing. I've been a cardholder since 91, and since they began outsourcing to India, the level of customer service is not the same.

Also, while we are on the subject of billpay, I usually send out my payment 1 week prior to the due date. We have an Amazon card and received a late payment fee wth them cause the credit union (savings) the we used did not electronically transfer the funds, but mailed out a paper check. Can you tell whether or not some banks do electronic or paper payments...?Good idea! Something I can take home with me tonight

This must come from my military background since I ALWAYS require confirmation that payments have been received by the creditor.
I don't like leaving anything to chance.

In the middle of a credit crunch with ALL CCCs getting twitchy, I believe in dafety first. Mist of my payments are scheduled to hit a week before the due date. I often pay the minimum plus the day the statement hits, and the rest later.A tad cautious, me.
