Overpayment

    I was overpaid last month as the details of the cessation of my employment were not sent in in time so now they are requesting that I pay the full amount back to them in fourteen days. Is this normal procedure?

    However what you are obliged to do is work out a schedule of repayments.

    You would be perfectly entitled to offer them a repayment schedule of 10% a week over ten months.

    If you don't want to repay do the following:

    1) Ask them to clarify and dispute the amount to be repaid.
    2) Make an offer of a trivial amount in full settlement say this is a result of their refusal to provide information.
    3) Make a 'without prejudice' offer that is fairly reasonable.
    4) Don't act on that offer

    You will still end up having to:
    Make an offer (not 'without prejudice' ) to repay 10% a month over 10 months (it should be slightly less than the amount actually received).
