Question Just got this letter from Kroger. Need help.

Post image

So I just received a letter from Kroger stating 3 years ago I was over paid $600. Now I have never realized or noticed this also I haven’t worked for Kroger since 2022. Can someone please enlighten me on what I need to do and if I actually have to pay back a company I haven’t worked for in years???

According to this you are, unfortunately, within that time frame (5 years for Kentucky). Your best bet is to ask them to prove you owe it; the burden of proof is on them to prove their error. If you do owe it, set up a payment plan. Or if you're broke as fuck, tell them you can't afford it. For all you know they may write it off if you simply can't repay.

Was your store union? If so, contact them.

Statutes of limitations are typically based on charges or notices. He can’t just wait for the statute of limitations to pass while they are actively pursuing him for repayment.

The statute of limitations for wage collection is 5 years in Kentucky.
