I have a significant of billable client expenses which I have never billed my former client for. These date back to 2007 & 2008.
I am facing financial difficulties and having thought about it, I have no choice but to now request payment for these expenses.
Aside from being rather embarrassed that I hadn't claimed them earlier, I was wondering if there was a legal limit on how far back I can claim payment for legitimate client expenses. The moral stand point is that I wouldn't usually pursue given that it is my own fault for not sorting this sooner. However, the client is a large multinational company with signifficant funds where as I am on the verge of financial ruin. The expenses are in the sum of £20k over a 2 year period.
I've spoken to someone in the accounts team at the said company and they have so far said there's nothing they can do. I'm wondering where I stand legally.
Thanks
