previous employer problems

[gerrybyrne]

I have had to take a legal case against my previous employer to retrieve 8 weeks unpaid wages.
I know C.I.C will contact him about my reference letter in which he spoke very highly of me, in fairness to him.
But since my legal people contacted him about my wages thing have gone very sour between us.
Has anybody got an idea of what way C.I.C will react if my previous employer either ignores their calls, or worse still, denies what he wrote on the reference.
I am really nervous about this situation and would appreciate any replies whether or not anyone here has been in the same situation.

In situations like these CIC may exempt you from producing references provided you explain it to them properly. Adding a few bits from your legal paperwork may also support your explanation.

Hi Adnan_hsn. I sent the reference already. The situation only arose after I submitted all my supporting documents.
Im at a loss as to what way I should approach the situation now.
If my previous employer does cause a problem will C.I.C hopefully contact me about it ?

I am not too sure of CIC chases every reference and job contract from the applicant's past so you may be okay. But I'm sure someone will be along to give us a more informed opinion.

Well, As long as he was the one who has signed on the reference/document. (Why would he want to deny what he has signed)!!!
Also, In my view there should be no problem. Send them a letter explaining the legal actions you are taking, (although I personally think that should not be necessary) but again, to be on the safe side you might want to do so.

He did put his signature on the letter. However, I am contemplating writing a letter to C.I.C but am nervous that they might see me as a troublesome employee. Which I certainly aint.

Why r u jumping to conclusions?
Man, I cannot imagine my employer not paying me for a month and u r talking of 2? And then when I fight for my right you think I am troublesome.

 

[gerrybyrne]

I hope you are right Bobby. Maybe I am jumping the gun a bit.

As mentioned earlier on:
Start getting ready for an:
1)Invitation for Interview
2) Draft a letter and keep it ready to go to explain the situation (but don't forget you will have to prove it, so start Documenting every step and document with regards to this
3)VIP: Remember that the ONUS is always on you, "THE APPLICANT", to prove the facts!!!!

That sounds a like very sensible response. Thanks for taking the time to respond Bobby.
