    • wtf?monospaced
    • Maybe he's not interested in paying at all.cannada
    • added interest and late fees may make him respond.omg
    • it's $100 omg, for a friend of a coworker he met at a party with a handshake contract and a desire for free workmonospaced
    • asking for a late fee is fucking ridiculous and morally illegal without a contractmonospaced
    • "morally illegal"
      lol      i_monk
    • well, it's absolute bullshit! I would NEVER pay a fee if I didn't know about it before-handmonospaced
    • plus, it's $10monospaced
    • then pay the $100 and we'll call the whole thing even.omg
    • otherwise, additional late fees do incur every month.omg
    • unless we're both jewish, then it would be religiously/ morally illegal to charge each other late fees or interestomg
    • There was no contract, dude. And late fees on $100 is about the douchiest shit I've ever heard of.monospaced
    • so since there was no contract, are you suggesting that the work should be done for free?omg
    • NO. I never said that. what I'm saying is that YOUR suggestion for adding interest is lamemonospaced
    • it's lame because...? every financial institution utilizes a late fee, and appended even on contractless jobsomg
    • if a person pays on time, then there is nothing to worry about.omg
    • otherwise they'll never ever have to pay you. it's already been three weeks.omg
    • in other cases, this would have already gone to baseball bat level.omg
    • it's lame because it's for $10 and it was never discussed, evermonospaced
    • and there is no "on time" when it's a handshake over beers for a stranger who never wanted to paymonospaced
    • a policies note should be sent along with invoice to state what the rules are.omg
    • like rules of the park, should be posted somewhere, might be a good idea to also post rules to your website.omg
    • but interest is a great way to make extra money off a $100 job. If client doesn't pay in 5-10 years, it can be worth thousands.omg
    • ... thousands!omg
    • wow.cannada
    • contract or no contract, these issues will always come up. adding interest is good when you think you're not going to get paid.omg
    • .. get paid!omg
    • remind you that when it hits $600, then it can go to small claims courtomg
    • look, everything you're saying omg is right, if this was a "real" job with a contract.. but it's notmonospaced
    • Perhaps it's not too late to have a contract made post work.omg
