It states that creditors can't consider a credit card payment late unless they've taken reasonable steps to ensure that each periodic statement is mailed or delivered to the consumer at least 21 days before the payment due date. The statement must include the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of the title. The law was violated because XXXX XXXX XXXX never sent me any letter via mail nor email stating that my account was past due, which only shows an error on their end because my bill was paid.
