Still receiving staff discount on store card six years after leaving.

Confused_Jo

I hope someone can clear the legalities of this for me.
I used to work for a High Street chain and had a store card with a 30% discount, but which only has a £100 limit.

I had my P45 when I left and have had no employment correspondance with them since. Their card is administered by a large financial company and I guess it was my bosses responsibility to inform the card company that I no longer work for them and to get the card to revert to a normal store card..

However, 6 years since I left I still get the discount. I use the card one or twice a year.
Where do I stand with this discount?
Could they recoup the discount given when it was not my responsibility to let the financial company know that I am no longer and employee?

Would I be best of just closing the account ot stop temptation?

Thanks
Jo

A former work colleague of mine's, son-in law's, father was a former director of a major catalogue shop-company and when he retured, the rule was he could use the discount card for 1 yr.

Several years later he was still ussng as he had found it wasn't cancelled, this from a guy who was a multi millionnaire.

I suppose strictly speaking you are claiming something to which you know you are not entitled, but I would also have thought that the company should have asked for it's property (i.e. the card) back when you left.
