money owed by work colleague

[sicktothebackteeth]

HiI lent a Paramedic work colleague £500 more than 5 years ago with the promise of repayment within a couple of months. She constantly promised to start repaying the debt but as yet has paid nothing. I have nt seen her for a couple of years and to be honest had given up hope of recieving payment. However it has started to eat away at me and I would like my money plus interrest repaid asap. I have only a verbal agreement with her although it is common knowledge amongst some of our other work colleagues that she owes me the money. The only contact details that I have for her now is her works email and since we both work for the same nhs trust I am reluctant to mention any private debt on using works email.All help gratefully appreciated

This exact situation has occured in my work place in the last couple of weeks. The lender wanted his money back, been trying to getting it back for two years. He had enough and went to his boss and explained the situation.

 

The borrower got suspended, and faces a discipline enquiry for borrowing money. There is an old rule that states no borrowing money from colleagues is permitted in the work place.

 

I would have a face to face with the borrower and say you would like you money back. And if they still dont pay up, tell them that you will have to inform your supervisor. Dont get angry, and keep calm and from now keep a log of all contact you have with the borrower.

If you know the department the borrower is in, could you not send a PRIVATE & CONFIDENTIAL communication to them there?
