    A deal is a deal. If it was their mistake, they should simply absorb it and move on. But that is only my opinion and I am not an attorney so maybe you should seek the advice of someone who knows the laws concerning things of this nature.

    First, you know if you owe the money, right?

    If you do, then pay it.

    If not, make the dealer show you the error in writing. if you agree with their books, then make the payment.

    If not, you may need an attorney.

    This sounds like a scam.

    Their books should have been audited in either late 2008 or very early 2009. As I think about this more, I'd expect that a dealer should be balancing their books monthly. So it is was past the time when an error should have been discovered.

    Regardless, if they made a mistake, I take it that they are claiming a mistake was made, if they signed off of the deal and all the money was paid to them that the deal called for, they are probably out of gas with any complaint.

    If they have not been paid all the money they were due, then you owe them money.

    Without knowing all the details though, it'd be hard to tell if there's some complicating factor. I'm also not a CA lawyer so take what I'm saying with a grain of salt.

    I'd advise you to either talk to a lawyer if it starts getting nasty though.
