Ok, so story is that at the start of my last contract I was given a wrecked laptop with a hole in the screen after a developer next to me (a guy introducing me to the system) got himself a new one. It was thought out that his old laptop would be given to me from the very start. It was supposed to be a temporary solution but I was never given a replacement, and I never complained, I just worked with it.
On the day I have given it back, after finishing contract, there was no IT support to fill in paperworks and I gave it to third party person.
Now I am getting requests to reimburse for damages, as according to their system - laptop was fine, and in their records I was trying to hand back undamaged laptop (I didn't get the chance of filling their return form).
What is the best course of action here, what would you recommend? It is quite shocking to have to pay off something one hasn't done, given they have "evidence in their system" ?
