Hello everyone,
we have the following "problem". Our earthworks took place in October. In November, we then diligently paid our invoice. I was very pleased that we almost hit the mark exactly (had planned €20k and it was €20,770). Now I asked the earthworks contractor for the delivery notes so that we can also show the authorities that we only used the approved quantities of RCL material.
Today we received a call that the invoice will increase by a flat €4k because the notes have now been recounted. I am now baffled, did they send us the invoice without even checking what exactly was installed? Well, apparently it was to our advantage.
Now I am quite pissed off. I suspect they are allowed to claim the missing money if it was really installed (I will take a close look at the notes as soon as they are sent)? Or do we have any leverage because they initially created the invoice based on rough estimation?
