Hi All
When I left my ex-employer due to to some payroll issues they claimed I ended up owing them approx £5,500.
I arranged to make them payments of £50/month and have been for the past 3 years.
So they now say I owe £4,000.
I am currently off work due to long term-sickness of several months, end of last year I stopped receiving sickness pay so mentioned to my ex-employer that I would not be able to make the £50/month for the time being, I mentioned this by e-mail.
I heard nothing back from my ex-employer on this but I have received a letter (sent to an old address.... which I coincidentally managed to receive!) from a solicitor dated Fri 10 April advising they are acting on behalf of my ex-employer and require payment of £4,000 by Tue 28 April or they will issue a CCJ.
Please advise?
- Is this possible?
Whilst I have been paying the claimed amount back at the agreed rate I never agreed to it in the sense of signing a credit agreement etc
- My intention had been to continue paying it as soon as I was back at work and earning again.
Any and all advise Greatly Appreciated.
Thanks
