If you want to pick up the month, day, and year separately:

"^Late Fee (\d+) on (\d\d)/(\d\d)/(\d\d)$"

If you just want to pick up the date as a unit:

"^Late Fee (\d+) on (\d\d/\d\d/\d\d)$"

Small correction, need to grab 4 digits for the year not 2. – John McMahon Apr 24 '15 at 22:18
Also the month and day could be improved by allowing 1 or 2 digits, it is unclear from the OP if single digit months/days would always be represented with 2 digits. – John McMahon Apr 24 '15 at 22:19

If the month and day could be 1 or 2 digits try this:

Late Fee \d+ on \d{1,2}\/\d{1,2}\/\d{4}
