Question about late payment as an IC.

I realize that a lot of you have been in this boat, and I am really just looking for some advice. I left an IC position back in November, and was working for a middle-man/agency. My contract with that person was that I would be paid within 30-45 days after invoice submission. I submitted my November invoice on Dec 2. We are now at 65 days and she is telling me that it will be another 30 days, because she just submitted my invoice to the client at the end of the previous week. I told her that I was going to contact the client directly to see if I could have my payment expedited, as it was well over the agreed-upon time window. She told me that I was overstepping my bounds as an IC. I have contacted them anyway, and as of Friday, she had not submitted the invoice, although she told me she had submitted it the week prior. I have not yet let her know that I am aware of this, and would like to submit a bill for penalties for late payment. Has anyone ever done this? Been successful? This is new territory for me, and I would appreciate any insight from those who have done this before. Thank you so much in advance.
