Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Florida
Ex-employer threatening legal action
Hello, At my previous employer, I was the Network Administrator.
On 3-22-07, I had made a computer purchase at a local computer retailer. This computer was intended for personal use, although I asked my employer if I would be able to put it on the company credit in order to get the corporate discount. These arrangements were made and I was given the invoice to pay directly. There was no written agreement to these arrangements. I had paid for this invoice via money order (which I no longer have stubs for...) Now, months later, I am contacted by my old employer stating that the invoice was never paid and they will be turning to their legal department for resolution. I have a copy of the invoice (from March) in question. What are my options here?

Go to whereever you purchased the money order and find out which company actually issues the money order (i.e. American Express or another company). Contact the company. For a research fee, they will provide you with a copy of the money order. You can then prove to the former employer that you paid for the computer, if, in fact, it was paid for.
