Which makes it all the more shocking. I thought that the
overpayment was somewhere in the region of $300++ when they first
told me about it.
As it turns out, the guy who was supposed to have received the
money has a name very similar to mine. And as it turns out, they
didn't confirm his IC number before making those payments - which
ended up in my account.
They only started to realise that something was wrong when the guy
complained to MOM about not receiving any wages for several paydays
(which is once every two weeks).
And when the supervisor told me that she would verbally tell me the
amount that was overpaid, I knew that something was seriously
wrong. And when she advised me to credit the amount directly to the
other guy's account, I knew that something was VERY, VERY, VERY
WRONG.
I'll be going down to their Vivocity office on Saturday to settle
things once and for all. I will pay them the exact amount in cash,
and will demand an acknowledgement letter certifying that I've
already returned the money to them. No way on earth will I give the
money directly to the other guy.
And I'll rub it in their faces that their negligence had cost me
very dearly. I did not benefit from having an extra $500++ in my
account. If anything, I now have to suffer, knowing that I have
$558 less than what I'm supposed to have.
KNN... now my finances are in shambles because of them.
