If they have overpaid you they have the right to reimbursement. However, the amount they can claim each week/ month has to be reasonable. They cannot just take it all back in one lump sum. Guess you are not in England. Go to your local advice bureau.

ONE - is there any proof that you OWE this money back to them other then what they are saying?
TWO- IF you were to pay this back to them why didn't they deduct it from your last pay check?
THREE - Get legal aid I am sure you have this in the UK as well and fight it.
FOUR - BE sure......file back against them for the stress of the job and your current health issue.
Do not just freak over it do something that defends yourself.
They did the deposit.......so tell them you want all of your pay stubs as back up.
Good Luck

I left an employer of my own free will some months after, I received a cheque from them for a small amount of money. I did not understand this as I Had not been aware of any money due to me, I phoned them, and they said it was correct. Shortly after they contacted me again to ask for the money back,I contacted a solicitor who said spend it. To confirm,I contacted with another solicitor who advised send it back it was not mine. which I did.

having a company make an error in your favor is like having a bank or a tax authority do so. eventually they will discover their error, and when they do, you are obligated to repay that money. i agree this is not fair; however, it is up to the employee to be aware of what they are being paid. you must repay the overage; try to work with the employer to see if you can negotiate a reasonable repayment scheme.

"He who spends what isn't his'n,
must pay it back or go to prison"
Call 'em up, spread your cards on the table, and ask for suggestions. They can't get blood from a turnip, and they know that they would be silly to waste money trying.
On the other hand, they have every right to expect you to do your best to sell assets to repay the money, and they will probably insist.

As the payment was made in their error. they do have the right to demand it back however both parties have to agree to a monthly figure.
its worth sorting this out before they sell the debt to a debt agency. then you will have their costs to pay back!!

Well here in America I would say you have lots of rights. I am not familiar with European laws but I would think since it's their mistake you should not have to pay it back.

when you get an over payment or money that is unexpected, it is up to you to see that it is legit. when you spend it and it comes to find out that you didn't deserve the money, they have every right to collect it back. the moral to this is always see why you got unexpected monies before you spend it!!!
