I let a client push their final payment back a month and it cost me $400 in late fees.
They kept saying the check was in the mail, but I had to cover my own business loan payment while I waited. Anyone else have a good way to stop that 'check is in the mail' runaround?

What's your policy for late payments?

That "check is in the mail" line is the worst. I got tired of hearing it. My rule now is payment is due on completion, no exceptions. If they want to book me, they agree to that up front. I take a deposit to start and the rest is due the day I finish. It stops the whole runaround before it can even start.
