In 2005, I signed a two-year business agreement with a company. Every month, I emailed my acct. rep and asked that the invoice be corrected to reflect the contract rates. I received an email from the investigation team and they said the company could only provide credit for the past six months. Is this even legal? Why can't they go back to the date the contract was signed by both parties?
If it were the other way around, the company bills the consumer for the difference for the entire two years.
Any advice? This just doesn't seem right to me.

The rate in the contract applies. This is NOT a "credit" - this is simple enforcement of a contract.
You don't give enough details to suggest a remedy. If this contract involves you paying them some monthly fee, then calcualte how much they owe you under the contract rate, and send them a letter that you will not pay fo rthe duration of the time equal to the credit amount.
If they pay you, and they owe you money, tell them you will sue them for breach of contract.

If the company did not pay you according to the contract, then they can be sued for payments they failed to make.
Be aware of the statute of limitatations for breach of contract actions -- it is two to four years in most states. So don't delay.
