If you are wrongly paid, and you KNEW about it, and kept the money anyway, then it IS your fault and responsibility. They will fight that you should of returned the money for the proper sum. Sorry bout that man! Bum deal!

When you endorse a check, you are agreeing to and acknowledging the amount written on the front of the said check.
I am reading your question as, your employer paid you too much and now they are threatening to take YOU to Court for the difference of the sum owed them from the pay check in question.
If I am reading this the backwards and they have underpaid you, then you should write them a letter asking them to pay up the difference owed. If you get no satisfaction, then seek an attorney.
Good Luck and Take Care

Depends on whether you were over or under paid.
Overpaid then you will have to pay the money back. If you are still with the employer then you should be able to come up with some kind of repayment scheme e.g. paying back a propotion each month. But if you were overpaid and you knew it then you should have pointed it out immediately to your payroll and not spent it.
If you were underpaid, you need to contact your payroll and point out the problem. If they refuse to pay (which they may not be able to do until the next pay date anyway) you need to contact a union rep, if you are part of one, or a solicitor. It is illegal for them not to pay you your contracted amount. That's why you both sign a contact.

If you were overpaid, you will have to pay the money back. I'm 90% sure it doesn't matter whether you know or not. You need to talk to your boss and HR, and they should suggest a rate at which you pay it back per week/month. Only agree to a rate you are able to cope with.
If they have mentioned legal action, this will be as a frightener, just to make you aware that they want it back.
If you have been underpaid, check your contract. And speak to your boss and HR. Don't involve the union or lawyers until you have to.

lookup the buyer association on your tel itemizing, and clarify to them what's got here approximately, they could be waiting to help. telephone your gas board, and put in writing (protecting a duplicate) of all what's got here approximately. communicate to a supervisor and clarify to him/her with regard to the lack of ability of 'very final fee' documentation and ask that they seem on their information of your account with them, (they should have your fee information on their pc). Be calm, do no longer panic, and until you get a passable answer/suggestion, don't be intimidated by skill of threats or pay the bill yet, the gas Board will/ought to help, yet will % as plenty concepts as available. in case you could no longer come to a sort this occasion amicably, then circulate on your voters suggestion Bureau, for extra help and innovations.

It is a crime for your employer to withhold earned wages!
Go see the Citizen's Advice Bureau (or a solicitor if you are happy to pay).

You want to threaten them I guess? You need to speak to your union.
