What is the name of your state? CA

I had a judgement filed against me the attached my checking acct I closed the acct. Refinanced the house paid the judgement.
However, they neglected to subtract the amount seized from the checking acct. in the payoff total. this was in June 2002 I have been trying to get the money from them ever since. Well I'm taking them to small claims, and in going over all the docs. I have discovered a rather large mathmatical error in my favor.

So my question is... does this constitute fraud? The amount is still within the confines of small claims but is considerably more than I was originally seeking. I need some input, should I keep this a small claims case or seek other action?

"does this constitute fraud?"
*** From your post, it would appear that this could be an error, rather than fraud.

"The amount is still within the confines of small claims but is considerably more than I was originally seeking. I need some input, should I keep this a small claims case or seek other action?"
*** Since you say the amount is still within the small claims limit, simply file an amended petition for the higher amount.
