So my Dh received a letter today from his old employer (civil service) saying that back in 2017 they have overpaid him and now would like the money back. At the time of the over payment he queried the matter with them at the time and was told that no the money in fact was his. He has a copy of the whole email conversation about said money. He felt a bit dubious at first so kept the money for a considerable period of time even after he handed in his notice with them in Nov 17. So now it’s nearly 2 years later and they are chasing him for the money. Can they do this? He’s has emailed them with his paper trail of said conversations regarding the money and they still want it back. It’s not a small sum either and they’re not even offering a repayment plan it’s simply you owe us this here is our bank details so you can pay it. The money had been spent and we have a baby on the way. What if anything can we do?!
