    I instituted a high late fee about a year ago. I charge my daily rate ($45) per day of late payment fee, and I actually charged 2 of my clients (the ones who were repeatedly late with payments) the late fee. Don't look back - you did the right thing!

    That's the point :-( it gets their bum in gear so they aren't late and never have to pay it!! It's not an extended day fee...it's to make them feel the pain of being late!

    I'd worry about any potential family that comments on the late fees...kind of implies they expect to pay it!
