I finished working for an employer last year and my last pay packet was out by about £600. I brought this up, we argued about the contract I had with the company, and over the phone my ex-boss told me that if I agreed to half the £600 he would have a cheques sent to me "the very next day." He knew I needed the money so I said I would accept this. I also have this in an email.
So it took the company six weeks to get the cheque sent, and they sent it to the address I gave them recorded delivery when over the phone we agreed it would be sent normal post, so that led to a further delay because I was away and the cheque was not picked up before I got home.
Then the company, after I threatened them with legal action because the hold-up led to increased flight costs and missed opportunities to make an investment, made the payment into my bank account despite my expressly teling them not to as the settlement figure previously agreed on needed to be increased. they told me "we've paid the money that's it you cannot take us to Court."
I got a subject access report and found out the hold-up was because of the boss making ridiculous mistakes re: geting the payment sorted. There's is also some really malicious stuff in the report in emails between staff, and this suggests that their response to my request for an increased settlement was influenced by this.
Do I have a case here?
