Overpayment - my rights?

catecreed

I wont be arguing with people looking for one however I will point out that having spoken to several solicitors your advice was wrong anyway... So rather than jumping down someones throat maybe you should have read my responses clearer, if I need to pay it back im happy with that, never once said I wasn't, simply wanted to know what I should have done next, which turned out to be the complete opposite of what some of you said. Well done for giving people wrong advice because you clearly didn't know what you were talking about. Wont be coming back on here so save your pathetic responses to this for the only people who will care...yourselves....

One of the problems you have is not knowing how long you were off ill for. Speak to your GP- if you got sick notes then they will have a record of this.

Did you have a contract and if you did do you still have it? This will tell you how much sick pay you were entitled to.

Do you have copies of your bank statements or does your online banking show back that far? If it does then you should be able to see how much you were paid then.

This should hopefully provide you with enough information to know whether or not you were over paid. If you were then you can pay up, if you didn't then you should be able to fight it.

See if you can get an appointment with the CAB, the CAB in my area also runs a session that gives you a free 20 min session with a local solicitor who would hopefully be able to provide some actual legal advice.

Hope that helps.

Thank you, really appreciate some actual advice. I will definitely do what you've suggested.
