Letter to Apologize for Incorrect Billing

Anyone can make a mistake. Sometimes mistakes are made during billing or charging the clients. A bill is made twice, a wrong amount is charged or other such mishaps may occur. This happens either due to some issue with the calculation devices, computers, etc., or because of the negligence of the operator. In any case, nonetheless, it leaves an impression on the customer that the billing was intentionally made with wrong calculations. It is then the duty of the biller or the company to make sure the customer/client that what happened was only due to a mistake.

A convincing apology letter should be written since these kinds of incidents even if they take place accidentally, leave blots on your reputation. An apology letter to a client for wrong billing should always be written if a client complains about wrong billing or you observe it yourself.

Dear Mr. Alex Nicholson,

Good day to you. This letter is a response to your query to our department about an error in your electricity bill, invoice number [X], for the month of November. We had it checked on our end and indeed there has been a mistake and you have erroneously been over-charged by USD 50. We sincerely apologize for this error and want to inform you that this was purely a meter reading mistake.

Our employee misread the meter which led to us overcharging you and therefore your bill was much more than it usually is.  We can either refund you the extra amount or adjust the difference in your next month’s bill. Please let us know which one you will prefer.

We are grateful that you informed us about this error and gave us an opportunity to rectify it. You have been patient throughout the process and for that, we thank you sincerely.
