How to Deal with Late Charge and Interest

[pcxmbfj]

This is my first post about an issue with Barclays Mastercharge.

My Money Magazine had an article about customer service and it encouraged me to a course of action.

Recently I realized on a Saturday my card payment came due on Friday and immediately paid it in total via my normal means of bank transfer.

I've had this card several years and always pay off the total.

As a tracked the transaction into the following week it posted on Monday the next business day as did a $40 late charge and interest posted.

I called customer service to try to get an adjustment to no avail.

The Late Charge and Interest is technical correct but I have issues with a nearly $200 charge for a one day late payoff.

Any suggestions?

Let me get this straight, are you saying that you now have a $200 charge in interest and late fees from what was once $40?
