Filing a Lien for Late Fees Only

I am President of a HOA of 97 homes in SC. The HOA dues for 2013 were 150.00 per year. I have one homeowner that did not respond to several letters asking to contact the HOA about even making payments. On May 1 I sent a 15 day notice that we would be filing a lien on the 15th. On the 17th they call me and say they will pay half of the dues this month and the other half next month. I asked him to sign an agreement stating this and told him that we would not charge any additional late fees if paid by the end of June. He says he is not paying and drummed up fees and will pay just the $150.00. I explained that I would waive the statement fees but he would have to pay the late fees, interest and the cost of the certified mailing cost which is about $30.00. He said he never agreed to pay any fees. I explained that they did when they bought the house and signed papers during closing. He said he will only pay the $150.00.
Out of fairness to the other homeowners, which some had paid late fees on their past due account, I feel we should not let this homeowner off from paying his late fees. I know it’s only the matter of about $30.00, but what he is planning to do is to sell the house and move. He wants to pay the $150.00 just so he has a title without a lien to sell the house. Has anyone filed a lien for just the late fees and for such a small amount?

If it's only a few days, I'd waive it. No sense getting into a fight over something so small, especially if he made an arrangement with you to pay. Id let him know if you don't receive the check by xxx date, the lien will be filed on xxx date.

The late fees are from dues that was due in January 1 2013, we have a yearly dues. He has been sent several statements and letters stating what late fees have been added each month per our CC&r's. I talked to him in person a few months ago and asked him to make payments and he said it wasn't a life or death bill to him and to do what I had to do to collect it.
