We recorded the lien in the amount of 7,965 but due to the clients lack of urgency to pay us they incurred late fees on the initial invoice. This is stated on all our invoices. Since the client paid the initial portion on the lien, do we have to remove it or can we just let it expire hoping that they will cover the late fees? We do not plan to us the lien against them to pay but just hoping not removing it and letting it expired will encourage them to pay the additional late fees?
