Legal Question in Consumer Law in California

Dear Sir/Ma'am

I recently had carpet installed by a licensed contractor. Job done and paid in full.

However, contractor has called me and said there was a addition error on the invoice and I owe an additional $1000 on the job.

$1000 would have made me pass this vendor up but that is not the issue. They are threatening small claims court. We paid the ammount due. The bottom line. I did not check his addition. Am I liable for the difference?

Thank you,

Concerned

Whether you are liable for the additional $1000, depends entirely on the terms of your agreement. You should check what the additional $1000 was for and review your agreement and see if you were required to pay him that addition.

Goodluck.
