Was your letter a demand for payment or just for information.
They would also have to prove that they overpaid you. Don't ask the bank for statements- they charge- get the company to prove that you were overpaid first.
its really complicated and im not sure of the hours i worked or even days, but when i left i took some days of as holidays others they didnt want me to come in
to round all that up the manager was a lazy dumb cow who couldnt count or was phased by the slightest brain thinking.
they want the full amount or installments, but i have never gone hmmm an extra 145.00,
Oh and another thing,
i used to work for the same company then they closed down the shop where i worked and i moved shops, i did not sign a contract at the new store i moved to, they asked me to but they never followed it up or brought it to me to sign,
maybe i can argue i never signed a contract to agree to these terms?
I didn't realise banks charged for statements, but if it was me personally I would still check. If you have online banking you can print off your own statements free of charge.
And if you moved shops within the same company there are specific laws covering the contracts issue, look on business link or ask Acas.
i dont belive ive been overpaid i think its an error, but proving it hmm
Well it's their responsibility to prove you have been overpaid, don't pay a penny until they do this. Be cordial though, ask for proof that they've overpaid you as you don't believe they have.
Best of luck
