My Mum, who works in Citizen's Advice, always tells me to "make time of
the essence", i.e. specify a reasonable time limit for payment (perhaps a
week), after which further action (such as court action, disabling the
website, etc.) will be taken. This shows that you're serious, lets them
know what the consequences of non-payment will be, and stops them
procrastinating any futher.

I got very excited that I might be able to charge my first serious
late-payment interest last week, but the customer paid up on the day I'd
set as the deadline. So no chance to add the interest, but at least now
they've paid!

Cheers!
