Mandated warning: paying off your balance will take longer than you think, because your federal government is burning tax money telling you and your bank how to do business with each other.

I think that the people who have credit cards should pay it off as fast as they can. Earning an 18 percent return before taxes is the same as paying off a 16 percent credit card.

Courtney: Yes, July was just the final deadline. Some issuers were actually ahead of the curve on this.

I’ve seen a lot of this starting several months ago (Citi and Chase). Citi also put the ‘Late Payment Warning’ on my online account summary, but as a link that I had to click on to bring up a pop-up box. It freaked me out the first time I saw it because I thought it was telling me that I was getting a warning because I had paid late, even though I hadn’t!
