Many over-billing complaints arise due to a misunderstanding between the plaintiff and the defendant. For example the plaintiff may have been expecting a bill of a certain size, and then been taken aback when they are presented with a much larger figure. Alternatively they may be unable or unwilling to pay their bill, and are hoping to gain a reduction by threatening to bring the case to court.

Generally over-billing cases in New York affect service industry professionals, contractors, etc. Those who are involved with home repairs or construction will usually run into this problem more often than others. For example a builder, plumber or electrician may be called out to provide a quote for a job of some kind. The figure they provide is, of course, an estimate which may change as the job progresses. By the time the task has been completed, factors such as labour costs, additional materials and unseen delays and expenses may have led to a larger bill than initially anticipated. The client is then unhappy, and may accuse the contractor of over-billing.

As can be seen from the example above, it is very easy for a situation of this kind to arise. Even doctors and dentists can be accused of over-billing, despite the fact that their fees are generally stated at the commencement of treatment.
