If a new credit card statement has a balance but minimum due $0 and then a due date listed, do i have to pay?

The due date has passed, so I am nervous that I will get socked with a late fee, but a,) I never received an actual invoice (I found the info online) and b.) I didn't order the merchandise until 11/18, which doesn't even give a month to pay? I'm confused about this. I appreciate any input! Why would there be a due date if $0 minimum payment is due?|||if it said zero min pmt - then you didn;t have to pay anything, but now interest will start accumulating on the balance|||You said you found the information on line so you are probably confusing the statement balance with the current balance. The statement balance is the balance that is outstanding on the statement date. The current balance includes any purchases that you have made since the statement date.





You purchased the items after the statement date so they will not appear on your statement until the next statement date. That is the reason that you have a current amount due of $0. You won't be charged a late fee as long as you pay before the next due date.|||If the balance is showing as 0 dollars that means you have no MINIMUM payment due this month. This occurs either because you paid double or more then the minimum payment last month or such. For example if you have a minimum payment on your card of 15 dollars a month, and say you paid 50 dollars last month. Then because you paid almost triple the MINIMUM amount for the previous month. You owe no MINIMUM fee.





So basically No you don't have to pay anything this billing cycle, and No you will not get slapped with a late fee.





Yes you will have to pay off the credit card (which im sure you know that :P) But like I said earlier the amount it shows you monthly generally is a MINIMUM amount as i said earlier|||You may have made your purchase after the statement cycled which would show a balance but nothing due...So, wait you can either make a payment to get a head start on paying down the balance or you can wait until next month when there is a payment due.. However in the future if you know you have a payment due and you don't recieve a statement it is still your responsibility to to make the payment.|||Minimum amount due is the amout the bank requires you to pay them BEFORE the due date listed. If it says $0 due, then you do not have to pay anything. BUT the catches are that, they are making interest on your UNPAID balance. So the best thing to do is still pay your bill, and best yet, pay it OFF every month, which means, do not charge up to the dollar amounts that you CANNOT PAY OFF. Be wise with your new credit.|||Your billing period closes before the payment is actually due...so you probably purchased the item after you were already in the new billing period. You should be safe.





If for some reason they do charge you a late fee (which they shouldn't) call up the company, tell them what happened, and complain. They almost always take it off.|||You should pay what ever you know your balance is. I usually over pay so I can cover everything at once even the things that didn't make the billing for that month.|||No payment needed until next billing cycle.|||Yes you have to pay.|||you don't have to pay until the next month
