It depends on the terms of the underlying agreement. It will control.

The foregoing is general information only, not specific legal advice. No attorney/client relation has been created or should be implied.
You need to ask for a complete accounting for your lease period. If, in fact, an accounting error was made and the leasing company failed to charge you for a month during which you leased the trailer you are responsible for that amount. Before you pay anything, thought, you need to compare your receipts/canceled checks to the leasing company's account. This assumes a straight month to month lease with no discount provisions.
You know all the terms of your agreement. We don't, and you left that important information out of your post. Since you likely have the information that you did not want to tell us, the answer is straightforward - if you owe the money, pay it. If what you are really trying to ask is whether you get out of paying because they made a mistake, ask yourself how you would feel if the mistake was in their favor.
