what works for me is I tell them you have 15 days from the date of the
bill to pay or I start tacking on interest and late charges.

Better.  When they get that far behind, you disconnect them until they
pay.  This has a far greater impact since most businesses can't go
long without Internet access.  Also why I like to rent my
firewalls/routers.  It's my gear, it can come out at any time they are
behind in payments.

If I have to go this route, they also understand there's a reconnect fee.
