REFUNDS....HOW THEY WORK

Example: Scott Associates discovers a $100 per month data circuit, for which the client is paying, which the client can document they ordered disconnected three years previously. Scott Associates obtains a 3 year refund, and corrects the bill error. In this instance the client benefits from both the cessation of the erroneous billing and from the refund Scott Associates obtains on the client’s behalf.
NOTE: THIS IS A COMMONLY FOUND ERROR.
