    They are not asking her to pay more than she agreed at time of sale.

    They are asking her to pay the remainder of what she agreed to pay.

    Im not sure how it works in practice, But I am 99% sure it exists in theory at least :P. Its meant to stop someone from being put in an unfair position due to the mistake of the other party.

    If you undercharged me, I honestly believed I had more money than I though, bought a more expensive TV than I would of otherwise bought, it would be unfair for you to recover the money as I have honestly spent it.
    You are right, this can be argued. But is only the rich who can make this one stick.

    "6 months down the line now though I have had an email to contact some payment company for the difference."

    I bought a Dell laptop over 6 months ago.
    I got the standard invoice for the full amount I was expecting and gave them my card details to take the full amount.
    Next time I got my credit card bill though they had undercharged me so I just assumed that they had got the price wrong.

    All that happened was they took a part payment. The invoice is for the FULL amount. Thereby, the price agreed at time of sale and the amount the OP is liable to pay to the retailer in order to complete their side of the contract and not be in breach.
