Some of you many have seen my post of a few weeks back....
Basically, my ex-employer seems to have accidentally deposited £2500 in my account. However, now they've realised and want it back.
This particular ex-employer did me no favours whatsoever, and treated me very badly indeed.
OK. So I suppose they can make me pay it back but :-
- Can I charge them an admin fee for the trouble its caused me?
- Can I offer to pay it back in monthly installments?
Legally, what options do they have if I dont repay it? I'm assuming they'd need to take me to small claims court or something? Realistically, what am I likely to get away with?
To be honest, I'm probably going to do this for the craic of winding them up and making it awkward for them rather than for any financial gain. (Although it would be nice to keep the money and pay it back over
5 years !!!)
