Incorrect Amount on Writ of Execution Judgement

Can a motion to vacate a writ of excution be made if the amount owed in incorrect?

The judgement creditor submitted documents to the court that are incorrect. The total of judgement paid was for $8309.06; however, the creditor in error issued a credit of $7358.41, which left a balance of $950.65. Because the creditor submitted this error to the court; it is now costing me $2203.34 in interest to be paid after the judgement. The courts have documents showing these monies were collected in full. What should I do?

If you know that the credit was issued in error you are not entitled to take advantage of it. You must still pay the full amount of the judgment, plus post-judgment interest.
