Has anyone tried assessing a late charge to signing services who don’t pay? I am thinking of sending my next invoice (the third one to this company) with a $10 “Late fee”. Any thoughts?
I don’t think it’s legitimate to impose late fees unless the client agrees to them at the time you are given the assignment, which isn’t going to happen.
Thank you. That is a good point.
So if they are late paying your actual fee, you think they’ll pay a late fee? Let us know how that goes. There was a notary in Texas who subcontracted me and when payment was late she added $10. But I didn’t bill her she just did it.
Well I think it is more to send a message. No, I don’t think this particular group is an upstanding business when they don’t honor their debts, and from what I can see, doesn’t pay a lot of people. .
I do think you could word your response a bit more respectful, though. Perhaps you didn’t realize how sarcastic it came off. I chose to look at it that way.
I would charge them more the next time, if there is a next time, so it’s (arguably) worth your while when you have to contact them for payment.
