1. Yes it should read - I thought that the company had taken all the money I owed them off my final wage. 2. They worked out my average monthly fuel spend on the fuel card which was £460 per month. They then took the fuel card from me. 3. From that point on I had to pay for fuel myself and claim it back at the end of the month. 4. For the first month of doing this they gave me £460 at the begining of the month to cover the cost of the fuel. 5. I probably carried on for about 6 months before I was made redundant

Yes sorry !

Hi Andy, I had the Fuel card and when they withdrew it. They gave me gave me £460 to cover fuel for the first month without the fuel card. After the first month I then had to claim back my fuel costs monthly. So basically they were helping me out for the first month without a company fuel card so I didnt have to spend my own money. It was agreed that when left the company I would then pay it back. However I have now been left for 2 years having been made redundant by them.

2 years ago I was made redundant by a company. I have recieved a letter requesting I pay back £460 for an outstanding fuel float. During the time I was with the company I had a Fuel card and then they withdrew it. To help pay for the fuel for the first month without the card the company gave me a float of £460. I have ignored the letter as when I was made redundant I thought that the company had taken all the money I owed them was taken off before I was given my final wage. I have now recieved a solicitors letter saying that unless I pay back the money within 7 days of the letter they will issue proceedings againsts me. Where do I stand ? what can I do ?
