Vendor question

has this happened to anyone?

I have a signed contract with a vendor for a set price and paid my first deposit

Now three weeks after they cashed the check and we agreed on the contract the vendor called saying that they made a mistake and under charged me 900 dollars

Now this vendor wants to up my price by 900 dollars after all is said and done

FH is

And I am

now what

Re: Vendor question

Absolutely not. If you both signed to a contract price, they can't change it, and certainly not for MORE money. They are obligated to honor that contract.

Re: Vendor question

No way can they do that! That is nuts that a vendor would even think of doing something like that.

No, no, no! A contract is a contract! They need to honor what is in that contract!

Re: Vendor question

Is the contract signed? If so...then they're SOL!

Re: Vendor question

I read the contract 4 times and contacted a friend that is a lawyer and I feel the same way

I am making FH call back

Re: Vendor question

WHAT?! Insanity. There is NO way they can do that, I can't believe they would even ask.

Bad business ethic.

Re: Vendor question

now that I think about it in this day in age and how the world is are these ppl for real? up it by 900?! Tell him he needs to lower it 900! Geeez!!!!!

Not sure what vendor this is but with so many of them there this guy can be replaced like that.... Id tell him he needs to honor what you both signed or you want out of the deal 100% (along w/ your deposit back!!)

Re: Vendor question

I agree with everyone else...A contract is a contract and it's there fault for not realizing the mistake...Why should you have to pay for there error.

Re: Vendor question

I'd fight it and hold them to it! They signe dit just as surely as you did!

Re: Vendor question

I wouldn't give them a cent more then what the signed contract says! Not your problem that they quoted the 'wrong price'. If they don't honor the contract I would demand my deposit back, look for someone else and report them to the Better Business Bureau! GL!

I agree, the only increase in your contract should be due to you increasing the number of guests, adding on something to your contract, or a change in taxes.

They should know how to add up their numbers correctly and give you the correct amount.

I did not increase anything....I did not change anything at all from the time the contract was signed. It was an error made by the vendor and now they want us to pay more for it

Re: Vendor question

Who is this crazy vendor???

Re: Vendor question

if there is a signed contract, they cannot then go and say you need to pay more. In their business they are in the best position to know the cost, and they knowingly entered the contract.
