If you’re even a minute late with a payment, your credit card company can hit you hard in the wallet—as much as $39 each time, according to a July 2008 survey. However, some simple steps can help keep your exposure to these extra costs to a minimum.
【R1】______
A few card issuers, including Chase and HSBC, charge extra fees for online payments that you need to post the same day, so even if you pay electronically, do it three to four days ahead so your credit card company will process the payment by the due date. If you’re snail-mailing checks, allow even more time—about 10 days—to allow for mail snafus. And unless you’re desperate, forget about phone payments—a number of banks charge a fee for them, no matter when you call.
【R2】______
A few card issuers allow you to choose a due date to coincide with your payday schedule, so a cash shortfall won’t make you late. You can even choose a due date that’s easier to remember. Your birthday’s on Feb. 17? Make your credit card payment due on the 17th of each month.
【R3】______
Some banks offer an autopay program that links your credit card to a checking or saving account; you decide whether to automatically pay the new balance, the current minimum payment or a fixed dollar amount. If you bank online, you can also arrange a do-it-yourself autopay. Just estimate your usual monthly minimum, schedule a monthly payment date and have the amount deducted from your account automatically. Just make sure you have enough in checking to cover it or the overdraft fees will eat up your saving on late fees.
【R4】______
Some credit card companies, including Chase, will alert you of upcoming due dates by e-mail or voice mail. You can also schedule a monthly e-mail reminder through a web site, such as MemoToMe. com or RememberthMilk. com,
【R5】______
Even conscientious consumers will probably get hit with a late fee at some point. However, if you have a good record of on-time payments, call and politely ask a customer service representative to waive the charge. No dice? Ask to talk to a supervisor, or try again on a different day. You might even threaten to close your accounts with the company—a tactic that worked for Jeff Roth of Molalla, Ore, after his wife’s Chase credit card was hit with a $ 39 late fee when the Fourth of July delayed processing of a payment. "My advice to those who feel they have unjustly been assessed late fees is to be assertive about getting the charges removed. " Says Roth, who posted about his plight at GetRichSlowly.org. "It won’t always work, but most credit card companies will least give you one freebie. " Next time, though, you may be on your own.

B
解析
本段内容比较有意思,主要讲信誉度一直比较高的持卡人(you have a goodrecord of on_time payments)偶尔没有及时还款的话可以尝试“赖账”,同银行工作人员协商免除这部分费用(waive the charge),一次不行可以改天再试,甚至可以以注销该银行的账号相威胁(You might even threaten to close your accounts with the company)。虽然不会每次都奏效,但可以一试,尤其是对那些被错误地认为延迟还款的人,更要非常坚定地要求抹去这笔费用。所以本段内容就是在讲可以尝试不付这笔费用。故本题选B。
