I did not get relief until I wrote to the bank president, then all late fees were canceled. Then I promptly canceled that credit card.
This is a perfect example of how NOT to encourage a company to treat consumers well. The company did you a favor by reversing the late fees that they were legally entitled to collect. Since you cancelled anyway, the person who fixed your problem was wasting his time, now looks like a fool, and will not do it again for the next guy with a problem. Thanks a bunch.

Mistakes happen. Bad judgment by CS reps happen. If the company resolves the issue, reward them by continuing to give your business. As an aside .. It isn't their fault is the USPS delayed your payment. The USPS is the organization that shouldn't get your business .. pay online!
