wrong date on invoice

Hello.
We use a factoring company for our invoices. Was great helping us get started.
I created an invoice to a customer in 22April (with that date on it) but forgot to send it to either the factoring company or the customer. I found it on my desk last week! obviously already passed its due date. I meant to just amend the date to last weeks date and sent it but I sent the old version to the factoring company in error.
They have logged it on their system with the original date which means they are already chasing payment as it 'overdue'.
I told the agent that ideally I just need to change issue date to 26/06 (the date I issued the invoice to customer factorer and customer)however the adjacent advised me that she shouldn't be heading me suggesting I do something FRAUDULENT!!!!!
What would I have done wrong?
Regards
Phil

Yes an invoice is a very important legal document and tampering with one could be considered fraud. Get advice from an accountant.0

As this is supposed to be a moneysaving site, no need to pay expensive accountant fees to resolve this simple error; just issue an amended invoice (that obviously also cancels the earlier invoice)
