UKCRS claim

[827]

Hi there,

I've been contacted by UKCRS on behalf of my former employer, I was suspended from work for a few incidents involving cash loss (there's no CCTV of the incidents) I originally got suspended for the incidents and from there I was dismissed, not really fussed about that but the claim I've received is for £2000? The incidents amount to around £400 I believe, but I got a phone call from the company asking me when I was going to pay. I then asked to be sent an email of the letter as I haven't received it. And they have my address down as wrong, so they have no way of contacting me? Should I leave it, they said I have 14 days to pay(in order for me to pay this, I'd have to take a loan out so isn't really feasible) please any advice would be great!

thanks

Re: UKCRS claim

Is this a civil recovery claim ? Is it actually a court claim or a letter ?
It is likely to be claiming the money back plus their costs of dealing with the incident.
Did you agree as part of your dismissal to repay the money ?
Were the police involved at all ?

Re: UKCRS claim

I've attached a copy of the letter I've received. I didn't agree to anything and was not fully notified that I have been dismissed as they do not have my address. No police involvement as far as I know. As I said they offered no CCTV or proof to show I did this

thanks

Re: UKCRS claim

I would have expected them to use a different letter for an 'employee theft' claim but seems the same, just higher amounts ? Is the Claim Value higher than the amount to settle ?
Is your employer a 'shop' ?

Ah they have added a line at the end of the first paragraph... good effort.

Re: UKCRS claim

Personally I'd ignore it.

As an employee claim potentially though I might be ready to respond to the next letter with a request for a full breakdown of the amounts they are requesting. We had a case a couple months back where it did go to court, but they discontinued as they couldn't evidence any of the sums they were claiming, or the alleged theft at all, so we should really pre-empt that - but I would still wait and see if CRS do make a further move.

Have you actually heard anything from your ex-employer regarding recovery of the money that they allege was taken ? Of course there is the question of did you take the #400 ? Was any agreement made when you went through disciplinary process about repayment?

Re: UKCRS claim

okay thank you for your help!

I have had no contact about any repayment of the missing money from my ex employer, and no I didnt take the money. I honestly feel like they're trying to bully me into paying it, don't really want to part with almost 2000 for something I haven't done. There was no discussion of repayment whatsoever. I'll keep you updated. However they can't contact me via the post so I imagine I wouldn't hear anything

thanks

Re: UKCRS claim

There are a couple other threads around, not sure what's happening with one of them where they're trying to claim something insane like #70k following an approx #3k theft, but another one where theft was alleged and not proven, they did try to go to court but discontinued as they couldn't evidence any of the costs alleged, or the actual alleged theft.
