Yes. You improperly endorsed and cashed checks which were not due to you. You have been unjustly enriched by these payments.

Yes, if this is the case you are responsible. Not for their mistake, but for your acceptance and cashing of checks that did not belong to you. However, I would suggest you ask them for an accounting of what they say were overpayments. Then compare that to your bank statements.
