Unsure how to procedd, Self employed Van driver

To be fair they appear to be asking him to bend down and take it so probably yes.

I do hope some noobie is wondering what Goatse is and has googled it.. but I'm a bit evil like that.

Guilty!

So I’m self employed as a van driver, the company who I work for, is a subcontracted logistics provider of a very large very well know electronics company in the uk.

This electronics company also owns the vans we drive.

There are many of us in this area and we all self employed for the same logistics company.

Some time ago I caused some accidental damage to a customer external wall.

I assumed that the logistics company I work for would be insured and the damage would be paid for from that.

3 months down the line. The electronics company has approached me and offered me a full time contract working directly for them, which I have accepted and already started.

I’ve told my ‘boss’ and he has now requested I set up a payment plan for the £8000 worth of damage I caused in order to pay him back.

Surely the damage has been paid for from the insurance and I am not under any obligation to pay for this?

The other drivers have mentioned that he has used a similar tactic to keep an employee from leaving in the past.

This evening he has now sent me a long list of damage I am supposedly responsible for dating as far back of 6 months. And wants me to pay him £400 a month.

What on earth is going on? This can’t be a thing surely?

Any advice ect please as it’s now become very stressful.

My response would start with a word beginning with the letter F and end with the word off.
