Barclays PLC Credit Card Complaint

Barclays PLC Credit card department,

Late fee New Jersey

The BarclaycardUS.com Upromise by - card has, -, a deceptive practice regarding payment due dates. ( Many other cards have this too. ) In addition to a date, they also have a time by which payment must be submitted online, else the payment is considered late, and a late fee is incurred. In this case the time is - -. Nowhere on the face of the statement is the time listed. It is buried in fine print on page - with the phrase " Payments made on our website by - - ET will be credited to your account that same day. '' Customer service tells me it has always been written there in the fine print, and I believe them. My point is, how many people actually read the gray fine print on the back of the statements. Should n't, for the sake of clarity, it be required for credit card companies to print any time restrictions on the front of statements, next to the due date that they take the time to print in bold?
