Hello Dear All
I wonder if there is any word that means a sum of money that you have to pay as a punishment because of there is a debt that has been expired and you missed the due date, I mean that you are supposed to pay that another sum of money accordingly such as by how many days you have skipped it over.
'Fine' might be a word for that situation, but I'd prefer another word more likely specialist. Thanks! 作者: pop00123 時間: 2016-10-12 08:56 PM
For example, when you miss the due date for your credit card bills, the bank will charge you a 'late fee' according to how many days late your payment is.
'Fine' is for a violation of terms, rules and laws.
If you are just late to pay your bills, you are not 'breaking the rules', you are just paying more for your bills. 作者: citizenkane 時間: 2016-10-18 06:28 AM
late fee, late charge, late payment fine.
combinations of those exist, usually with a time element.
"interest payment" etc.作者: dc1024 時間: 2016-10-18 09:58 AM
