Hi, new here, so hello. I really need advice: in summary;
2003 - worked as nurse practitioner for six months at hospital B, left due to ill health
2004 - I received an invoice from Hospital B asking for £1470, I contacted them and was informed that I owe the money due to a perceived break in nursing service between my last job at the Hospital A and starting at B -this was incorrect as I had been working at another hospital under the NHS Staffbank and on contacting them was informed that I had not had a break in service with the NHS. The finance department at the B informed me that the problem would be resolved and I heard no more from them.
2005 - the same story, I was confused as to why it happened again but was reassured by a Finance Officer at B that things were ok
2006 - received the same request - I spoke to Human Resources at the A and was informed again that it was an error with Finance at B- I also contacted East London and City payroll and was informed that it would not be a problem as again I had not had a break in service.
2007 - I did not receive any request for repayment and considered that the matter had been dealt with.
2008 - two letters from controlaccount plc asking for the money, i replied asking them to send a record of the supposed debt and proof within 28 days, they did not reply, second letter now threatening bankruptcy proceedings - again have asked for proof - no reply.
I am now so fed up with the whole thing and nobody taking responsibility - i would be more than happy to pay the debt if there was the slightest proof that i owed it -- HELP!! any ideas on what to do next gratefully recieved

Hi Alan
I just wanted to say hello and welcome, I am no expert on this but I am pretty sure someone will be along soon to help
a couple of things though, do you have any written documentation from the hospital at the time that this was an error?, and also are you sure that what you are being pursued for is this 'debt' and not something else?, how much are they saying you now owe?Aug GC £63.23/£200, Total Savings £00
