We mailed our monthly mortgage payment to Provident Funding on XXXX XXXX. However, Provident did not cash the payment until XXXX XXXX. In the meantime, Provident assessed a late fee on our account. 
On XXXX XXXX, prior to the assessment of the late fee, I emailed Provident to find out why our payment was n't cashed. However, I did not receive a response until the late fee was imminent. 
Provident assessed the late fee on XXXX XXXX, then decided to cash our check the next day.
