Here is a made-up example...let me know if I am right or not.Credit Card AStatement Date 5thDue Date 30thDoes this mean that I can make a payment on the 30th and pay again anytime before the 5th and have that balance reported? What gets reported is the balance on the date the next statement drops, which would include any charges made after the due date, is that correct? So if I pay the minimum payment on the dute date, but pay the balance on the 4th, then it gets reported as o balance, as long as my balance is 0 when the next statement closes, is that correct>I have paid all the minimums this month when the bills came, since I dont ever want to be late on anything. But then paid the cards off the day before the next statement was scheduled to drop, so I am wondering if I am going to see that on my CR.Thanks!
