mischarges
Incorrect fee assessments
Mischarges are incorrect charges, typically on a bill or account—amounts billed in error, whether too high, too low, or for the wrong item entirely.
The verb mischarge means to charge incorrectly: The hotel mischarges guests for minibar items they never touched.
Common in billing disputes and accounting contexts.
