• LATE CHARGES
  
  Charges that are assessed for late payments of principal or interest on a loan. Late charges may be determined as a percentage applied to the unremitted payment or as a fixed dollar amount. Some states limit late charges. Federal Regulation AA prohibits a practice called cascading late charges for consumer loans.
