15 U.S. Code 1666b - Timing of payments : States ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

( b ) Grace period If an open end consumer credit plan provides a time period within which an obligor may repay any portion of the credit extended without incurring an additional finance charge, such additional finance charge may not be imposed with respect to such portion of the credit extended for the billing cycle of which such period is a part, unless a statement which includes the amount upon which the finance charge for the period is based was mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the date specified in the statement by which payment must be made in order to avoid imposition of that finance charge.

The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act States : Opt-Out Notices General Obligations If you share their NPI with nonaffiliated third parties outside of three exceptions ( see " Exceptions '' ), you must give your consumers and customers an " opt-out notice '' that clearly and conspicuously describes their right to opt out of the information being shared. An opt-out notice must be delivered with a privacy notice, and it can be part of the privacy notice.

The opt-out notice must describe a " reasonable means '' for consumers and customers to opt out. They must receive the notice and have a reasonable opportunity to opt out before you can disclose their NPI to these nonaffiliated third parties. Acceptable " reasonable means '' to opt out include a toll-free telephone number or a detachable form with a check-off box and mailing information. Requiring the consumer or customer to write a letter as the only option is not a " reasonable means '' to opt out. 

Note : While the GLB Act does not require you to provide an opt-out notice if you only disclose NPI to affiliates, if you share certain information with your affiliates, you may have an obligation to provide an opt-out notice under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. That opt-out notice must be included in your GLB privacy notice ( see " Fair Credit Reporting Act '' ).

The response stated that no law was violated under the FCRA, FTC, GLB Act.
