Purchased new kitchen cabinets from company. They were awful to deal with. Two different times after I ordered something (a cabinet) and paid deposit they called and told me shelves were extra and I if I wanted them I need to pay the difference (I did). Their policy is 50% deposit, balance upon completion. After the last of everything arrived I was given a final balance via phone message and when they delivered I received the same balance on a invoice which I paid in full. About a week later I called to ask about the product and they told me they forgot to charge tax on a item and that I still owe them that. I have a bill stating my balance is paid in full along with a cleared check. Am I responsible for this balance due to their errorl?

Yes.

If I borrowed $100 from you, but when I paid it back, I forgot it was a $100 and only paid you $80, am I responsible for the balance due to the error? What if YOU made the error and only ASKED for $80 and I paid it, and you realized your error later? Would I still owe you $20?

People make errors. That doesn't change the obligations of the parties.
