This will be long so that I can include all the details to be sure things are clear to any of you nice folks who can help. I started working for a company called Thats My Baby in June. It is a newborn photography company that has bases in numerous hospitals throughout the company. I loved the job at first but soon learned it was crap. Many of my checks were shorted, they went through 3 different district managers in the 7 months that I was there, coworkers rarely showed up, paperwork was lost, & numerous other problems arose. The month before I gave my 2 weeks notice & resigned there was a merger & a company called Our365 took over. Many policies changed & one was that we were now supposed to accept cash from the patients & go get money orders for them (on our own time NOT on the clock). Our regional manager told me & my coworkers to mail in the money orders & save the stubs there in the office books. I always did this. Well I quit the job (the proper way) December 19th of 2007 & today out of nowhere got a letter in the mail stating that they had NOT recieved the money orders & that I had 10 days to pay the $600 worth of customer accounts that they had unaccounted for or it was going to be reported to collections & go on my credit. They also want the stubs, which theyhave here in the office though after a year I can only hope that they are still there. The "office" by the way was a storage closet in the hospital with no air flow, I live in Las Vegas & it IS hot.
Is there a statute of limitations or ANYTHING? Its been a year almost & they are coming after me for debts that are not mine! I am panicking as we have been working hard to build our credit to purchase a home for our family. I had called the numbers they gave me over a dozen times to no avail. I simply get voicemail over & over. I did finally get her one time & she said that they are "investigating" & I will just have to wait. Please help!!! This can't be legal.
I can't afford a lawyer, that'd cost more than the money they are saying I owe. That's why I came on here. Keep the advice coming! I need all the help I can get!
