Legal Question in Consumer Law in Illinois

Postmark = Paid ; Bill Payments

Since postmark = paid for federal taxes ,logic would dictate the same is true for all bills paid thru the mail.

Is this wishful thinking or are credit card companies and other billing agencies allowed to use the inefficiency of the post office to charge people bogus late fees?
