Post: Who's at fault?

Posted by Mona on 3/28/06
On June 26, 2004, I sold my home, with an amendment to the contract saying I would pay $4830 of the buyers' closing costs. I picked up my proceeds check from the sale with no problem. In March 2006 (yes, over 1 1/2 YEARS later, I was contacted by the title company that they had made a mistake in the closing and that I now owe them $850 because they had miscalculated the numbers, saying I only paid $3970 of the costs. I did not believe it was right to ask me to pay for the mistake so long after the closing, as now it would be hard to come up with that much money. As I really hadn't examined the papers, I pulled them out, and as I read them, feel that one of my signatures is also a forgery. Does the company have a right, after a year and a half, that the company can ask for their money back? A lawyer has been referred to as the debt collector.
