Legal Question in Workers Comp in Georgia

workers compensation

I have a dumptruck company and I paid workers compensation for $100,000.00 coverage. The Ins. company audit my company at the end of 2002, for 2001-2002 and included my owner operators into the coverage which brought it up to $400,000. My accoutant gave them paperwork from truckdrivers that own their own trucks, which are not my employees, and I have a written agreement with those drivers that they are taking care of their own workers compensation. Now the Insurance Comp. want me to pay back $41.000. I had sent them my agreements of the owner operators, which I forgot to put a date on, now they won't except them. Can they enforce me to pay that money? Can I be declined workerscomp because of this? I had no claims on their policy.

Thank you!
