If the consumer has been charged for a debt that he has already paid or is being charged in a different way than had been agreed upon, this is an undue charge.

Overview

If the consumer has been charged for a debt that he has already paid or is being charged in a different way than had been agreed upon, this is an undue charge. The law that protects the consumer guarantees the consumer the right to receive double the amount if you paid more, in addition to monetary correction and interest. Except if the undue charge was made due to a justifiable error. If the consumer has had his name included in credit protection agencies, he will be entitled to seek compensation for moral damages.
