Ok, I'm sorry if this is a silly thread, but I'm looking for advice on the legalities of a situation and I'm not sure where to go. I figured there are a lot of freepers here who are pretty darn smart and combined with experiences, could offer some help...
Basically a big known company (name withheld) my husband worked for just sent a letter saying that they over paid him by $192 and are requesting it to be paid back.
He hasn't worked there since September 2005 and they are just now sending us this letter.
Do they have a legal right to request being paid back, when they made the mistake of over payment? Does my husband have to pay it back?
Anyone else have experience like this or know the legalities? Advice?
Not eating regularly can definitely affect a person.
Has he ever been checked for hypoglycemia?
Bingo. No matter how much bad blood there is, I just cannot see any management employee wasting company assets on chasing $192 from a former employee, when it could potentially involve them in something more costly.
And no collection agency is going to want to deal with this oddball collection matter for their piece of the $192.
The company will just write it off. It's not even a measurable percentage of a blip on their quarterly balance sheet.
My advice for her is to just keep the money and have a Merry Christmas. Maybe she should even send the signatory on the letter a Christmas card! (But I think not, really. Better to just let the thing die quietly.)
No, but I find it hard to think he has that:
Symptoms of hypoglycemia include
hunger (he's hardly ever hungry, hence only one meal a day)
nervousness and shakiness (not really)
perspiration (nothing more than usual)
dizziness or light-headedness (no)
sleepiness (no, in fact he has trouble sleeping)
confusion (no, except the normal confusion that comes with being a man... :) )
difficulty speaking (no, but again except what normally comes with being a man... :) )
feeling anxious or weak (no)
Punt...
huh?
Yes he does, and he should.
