billing error

Charge gone wrong

A billing error is a mistake on an invoice or statement—an incorrect charge, duplicate entry, or amount that doesn't match what was agreed upon.

The term appears frequently in consumer protection contexts: I called to dispute a billing error on my credit card statement.

Billing errors can result from clerical mistakes, system glitches, or fraud.
