Most credit card companies have a grace period for new purchases. However, there are many extremely aggressive and predatory credit card plans out there. They have been given wide latitude by the government to take advantage of unwitting consumers. You need to review any correspondence you have regarding your account to see it that practice was mentioned. If not, you should report the matter to your state attorney general's office for a review. In the meantime you should make certain you make your payments. In fact, you should try to pay off the account in full. Other charges are sure to add up quickly.

Must I pay a revised invoice if the supplier invoiced me for the wrong purchase price of an item on the first invoice they submitted to me?

Unless the new invoice is higher, then I don't see a problem. As I sated in one answer earlier, most companies do not, will not, or are not suppose to send out revised invoices if they made the error and the original invoice has a lower balance due. The company can request that you pay the new invoice, but most companies, not all usually take the "loss" if it is pointed out that "they" made the error. Before making any decisions on this, if the revised invoice is higher than the original and you don't want to pay the new balance, I would suggest contacting the company, pay the original invoice and let them now that is the invoice you received and that it was their error. Personally, I would pay the new invoice regardless, I might not like the idea of paying more money, but I also realize that people do make mistakes and unless the balance is of a very huge significance, I wouldn't contest it.


What is the difference between Proforma Invoice and Commercial Invoice?

Proforma Invoice is not a real invoice, it is simply a confirmation of the purchase order before shipment of goods.
