My private student lender sends me a bill with a due date. The bill due date is also on my on-line account, where I pay my bill. It says that it is the first of the month. It is for XXXX loans, each of {$1500.00}. I have paid the bills by the due date with on-line payment, and the money has left my bank account, however my payment is not credited until a week later, and I have been reported as late on my credit report, even though I paid the bill by the due date. It is a " campus based '' private loan. I called with a concern about what is the due date it was vague, pay before the due date. I asked for an actual due date and they could not provide one except for pay several business days before. I asked what means XXXX or XXXX, please be clear. With a credit card it is very clear when one pays on-line -- such as payments made before XXXX XXXX. EST will be posted to the account that day, payments made after XXXX XXXX will post the next day. Banks are also clear with how deposits are handled, such as deposits made after XXXX XXXX. will post the next day. I think it is misleading to send me a bill with a due date, but in reality there 's another due you need to pay by that they wo n't give you. 

I submitted this complaint before and the company response was to a completely different loan.
