just received a letter from a stupid company( i dun know should
i say the name out). anyway this stupid company is my previous
company that i worked in. asking mi to pay medical fees that i have
used last year before i quit. i just discover something. my last
day is 11.07.2007. meaning my resignation starts on 11.06.2007.
One's month notice though.
but the letter stating that i have to pay medical fees starting
from 05.08.2007 to 06.06.2007. This is even before my one month
notice lo. furthermore, the bill date is 16.02.2008, the due date
is 17.02.2008 and you know something, there is this sentence that
says:
If payment is not received by the due date as indicated
in the bill, interest at 5.500% per annum will be
imposed.
I just discovered on the envelope that this letter was mailed
out only on the 18.02.2007. definitely the date would be overdue
one wat. they are out to cheat me. When i quit and i collected my
last two cheques, why is there no mention of this?
the next course i took was to call my ex-colleague and inform of
her the situation. She told me that this company has a reputation
of doing this. They willl calculate the accounts and then if there
is any loss, they will trace back and ask the ex-empolyee to pay
for some ridiculous charges that was never mentioned before so that
they can account to their department head.
i mean if they really have any clause to prove that i have to
pay for these, i will gladly pay without the interest. if they
cannot prove to me, i will not pay a single cent. i mean i feel
kind of cheated though. why do they not make any mention of this
until like so months later? this is ridiculous though.
the next course of action that i will take is to call the number
indicated there and tell the person my stand on this matter.
It's just ridiculous and stupid!
if U have the time and mood...make an appointment to go down and
ask them to justify on the spot.
if not,just email the person and ask how they calculate.
if cannot come to settlement...refer to MOM lor...
