Cabela's Complaint - Late fee when paid in full

Complaint
Review by Mike85 on 2009-12-15
I paid my credit card off in full for 755. Cabela's said they got the payment a few days late and charged me a 39 late fee. They would not waive the charge. This 39 annualizes to a 62% interest rate. I just paid off the charge and told them to cancel my card. I very seldomed used this card but shopped in their store. I will never enter any one of their stores again, nor will my family.

Late payment=late fees, how hard is that to understand?
show the math for the 62% rate, it's a one time charge. $39.00 is not 62% of $755.

Perhaps you should mail your payment a couple days sooner so it gets there on time. Doesnt sound like you did so now you will pay for it.

How did you pay by mail, phone, on-line??

If you had to pay $755,000.00 then the interest rate would've been a very small interest rate.

Basically, the charge was not an indication of how much you had to pay, but instead a flat fee, not interest.

Steve, I don't think the op's balance paid off was 3/4 of a million $$, but $755.00.

Another one of those 'I was l;ate but it is their fault' complaints.

"They would not waive the charge."

If the payment was late why would they waive the late charge. That's why its there to penalize you for being late.
