DisplayName not being displayed by DisplayFor helper

In my ASP MVC ViewModel, I have the following properties that are using the DisplayName identifier

    [DisplayName("Payment Frequency")]
    public char paymentFrequency { get; set; }
    [DisplayName("Account Type")]
    public char accountType { get; set; }

However when they are called by the DipslayFor helper in the view like so

    <div class="M-editor-label">
       @Html.DisplayFor(model => model.paymentFrequency) 
    </div>

    <div class="M-editor-label">
        @Html.DisplayFor(model => model.accountType)
    </div>

I get a big ol' blank space. Any idea why?

The DisplayName is the Label Display value ->

use @Html.LabelFor(m => m.paymentFrequency)

you're getting blanks because you have empty properties i'm guessing.

Usually you use LabelFor and DisplayFor with eachother to display the label and the value.
