double payment

Billed twice accidentally

Double payment is paying twice for the same thing, whether intentionally or by error.

A creditor might receive double payment when a debtor accidentally submits two checks for the same invoice.

In contracts, double payment clauses may impose penalties: The lease requires double payment if rent is more than thirty days late.

The term also covers duplicate charges on credit cards or billing systems.
