Glandular fever forced me to leave my position at marks and spencer in Feb 08, which i have now recovered from.
In March i received 168 pounds, which i assumed was sick pay, a month later i got a letter saying i owed them 118 pounds for overpaid wages, which was a fault on their behalf. I have sent 8 letters, asking if i could pay if off monthly in installments, because i am only 19, just left college, and trying to find another job now that i have recovered. I received a letter yesterday from a debt collector firm on behalf of m and s, saying if i dont pay the full amount by next week, there going to take court action, how is this fair? What can i do? I'm very worried as i dont have the money anyway, let alone to pay court charges or fines etc, has anyone else been in this position? I dont see why i should have to pay for THEIR mistake.
