So I have a late pick up fee of $1.00 per minuet in my contract with a grace period of 5 minuets. I was closed early on Ash Wednesday so I could attend Mass. It is in my contract, I sent a notice home 2weeks prior and as the day came closer I reminded parents again.

I had 1 parent not pick up at 4. I text her asking who was going to be picking up because I was closed early at 4. She text me back saying she forgot and would call her husband. It was a little after 4pm, at 5pm the DCG grandfather showed up.
How do I enforce a $55.00 late fee? Do I charge the late fee? It is a lot of money to hand over for a late fee.
