Unfiltered Story #400230

I used to have a credit card with the slogan, don’t leave home without it. I was finally able to make the last payment to zero out my account. After work I sit down at my computer and make that final payment and go on my merry way. Payments for this account need to be done before midnight. Back then banks didn’t specify central time. The following month I received a bill for payment due which was intrest. I call them up and explain that I submitted the payment on time so, I did not accrue an interest charge. The representative insisted that I submitted the payment late so there was interest. I finally asked the lady a question. If I submitted the payment at 11:30 pm how do you figure it was late? Crickets on the other end of the phone. She finally got the time zone difference and waved the late fee. Nowadays the banks specify the time zone for payment.
