Send emails showing them how much they owe + interest. If you didn't specify an interest rate then use the statutory rate from your jurisdiction.

Next time have them pay you a retainer.

yikes mate.

This is a sure-fire way to burn a lot of bridges.

Nobody in this type of business should be charging interest for a few days of delayed payment.

I wouldn't call this bad advice, but this is definitely something a consultant should NOT do.

Oh I didn't realize this was a few days. Agreed.
