So a job I quit 4 months ago just contacted me saying they did their financial audit and found out they double paid me for a check they messed up on. Thing is, I notified them twice. I talked directly to the president and told him directly that they paid me in a check then direct deposited the $1400 2 weeks later. He talked to me like I was an idiot both times and said it was them making things right. Second time I asked if I'm good to keep the money and he said yes. My dumbass didn't get it in writing. Just got the text today that they want it back.
I know I'm supposed to pay them back, but I went 2 months without work and am flat broke since starting my new job. Anyone know if I could find a way to avoid paying them since I was directly told by the president I can keep the money? Figured I'd ask before I responded to him with rage calling him an idiot like he did to me. I'll add that place had the most mismanaged office. Never got a single correct check from that place. If you called them at any point guarantee no one would get back to you for days. Even as a customer.
