Double billing

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In commerce, double billing is the error of charging a customer twice for the same unique product. This can occur due to a change in product name[1] or due to a software error.[2]

The American Bar Association prohibits double billing.[3] In 1998, Cameron Stracher's book Double Billing[4] suggested that double billing is common in law firms, but that implication was misleading.[5]
