The state of NC. I got a letter about 2 weeks ago saying they overpaid me back in November. No details at all. It had a couple of phone numbers to call for more info. I call and the voice message says the person is not available and working remotely to send an email and also that messages left will not be returned. So I email and got a very vague response that maybe someone with a background in accounting or payroll would understand, but since I am less than smart, I just do not understand. It said that she got the notice in December and then a couple of sentences that made no sense and a screenshot of what appears to be a spreadsheet.
So I email back asking her to call me. It has been 10 days. I found a number to the NCDHHS controller's office and called them a couple days ago. She seemed nice, but was not the right person. I don't think she knows who the rigjt pwrson is even though I told her who was not calling me.
It irritates me that they can 1. Make a mistake and then let it sit for 5 months before letting me know. 2. Apply an arbitrary deadline (which is fast approaching) that if they ain't got their money back they add 10%. And 3. That they just can ignore repeated attempts for clarification (which will almost guarantee I don't pay them by the deadline).
I have done some research on the topic and it apears as though I have no legal recourse other than to send them a check. But I would at least like a plain english explanation first.
I am glad I no longer work for them and I see now why I was so frustrated at that job. They just DGAF.
