Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Alabama

overpay

Do I have to pay back overpay if the mistake was not made by me? Also is there a time limitation on when the company can go back and bill me for it?Also is there any kind of a percentage that i can pay instead of the whole amount?

Re: overpay

You will probably have to pay it back. You do not say how long it has been, but if they haven't done anything within a couple of years then you should consult with an attorney to see if they can still do it. It would depend on whether it would be considered a contract claim or not. If so, then they would have longer, perhaps 6 years. There is no provision in the law that would require them to take partial payments. Hope this helped. If this is still a concern, please consult with an attorney in your area.
