UGH. This enrages me. Seriously, people treat freelancers so poorly and it SUCKS.
FYI: this isn't strictly relevant, but I freelance teach sometimes, and my lawyer cousin & cousin-in-law tell me that adding an extra charge for late payment isn't enforceable in court, but including or not including a discount is. So now when I have clients I invoice (usually the corporate ones) I charge them £X as the discount rate (what they get if they pay within 30 days) and £X + £late fee as the normal rate.

There are kind of asshats that make this world. I am sorry you had to deal with one. Hope karma takes care of the rest.

All of the rage. Especially since he's bringing the translators (who did their job properly) into it.
