Why am I being charged a late fee on my bill?

Asked 2 years ago
There can be several reasons for a late fee appearing on your Verizon bill. Typically, a late fee is charged when a payment is not received by the due date specified on the billing statement. This may occur if the payment was not processed in time due to various factors, such as a delay in postal mail, a processing error, or if an automatic payment did not go through as planned. Additionally, if you made a payment close to the due date and it was not reflected on your account before the cutoff time, that may also result in a late charge. It is important to review the terms of service regarding payment schedules and late fees to understand better how they are applied. For more details specific to your billing situation, it may be helpful to check the latest information on the Verizon website or look for account notifications that may provide insights into your billing status.
