Wir berechnen ab der ersten Mahnung € 5,00 Mahngebühren je Mahnung.
Just want to check that I'm on the right lines here. Surely "ab der ersten Mahnung" means "for every Mahnung including the first" (and not "after the first one" - i.e. from the second one onwards).
So is there any reason not to say simply "for each warning notice issued" and omit any reference to first?

starting with the first reminder
In Bezug auf Rechnungen würde ich bei Mahnungen von "reminders" oder "payment reminders" sprechen.

Man muss sich bei der Übersetzung nicht auf die "erste" Mahnung beziehen. Man sagt das im Deutschen so.

: Ich finde schon, dass man "erste" mituebersetzen sollte, wenn es schon da steht. Woher soll denn der Leser sonst wissen, dass bei anderen Glaeubigern die erste Mahnung auch gebuehrenfrei sein koennte, waehrend sie es hier ausdruecklich nicht ist?

payment notice
We will charge a $5.00 late fee for each payment notice, beginning with the first.
Die eigentliche Rechnung ist der 'invoice' or 'bill'. A 'payment notice' (or alternately, 'late notice') is always a 'reminder' to come up with the dough. A 'reminder' is less precise (and not used in business in this connection), because it can also be a 'jogging your mind' to come to a meeting or not miss your wedding and does not necessarily have anything to do with money.
