my question is, is what the dealer did to me correct? If there is nothing that the lawyers can do then that is fine but I want to know if what they did was correct??? what could have been done at that time?
You made the choice to agree to allow your employer to deduct the amount you allegedly agreed to pay.
You could have said, no, I disagree.
You could have fought the allegations in court.
You could have possibly made a claim through your auto insurer.
You chose to pay, thinking that would allow you to keep your job.
Every choice has consequences, as does each inaction.
The employer did what you agreed for him or her to do, take the money from your earnings.
Right or wrong doesn't matter.
In fact, only you can decide if it was right or wrong.
Today, none of that matters.
You were of sound mind and body and agreed to the deductions.
If you disagree with that decision today, you could attempt to bring a lawsuit against your employer to recoup what was deducted from your paycheck.
In Florida (according to Fla. Stat. Ann. § 95.011 et seq.) the statue of limitations for written contracts is five years.
You indicate the event happened two years ago, so the SOL would not bar such a lawsuit.
Your biggest problem will be convincing the judge that you signed to have the deductions taken under duress.
Whatever happens, what you VOLUNTARILY agreed to do then will likely not be second guessed by a court today.
You made a deal.
The deal was reduced to writing, and you agreed by affixing your signature to the deal.
That is a contract.
Then over time you watched as the deduction were taken from yoru paycheck.
You didn't protect then, yet you protest now.
This is just a little internet forum.
We are not a court of law.
What we say here means nothing in a Florida court of law.
No competent court will even take judicial notice of our opinions, unless we do something stupid.
Stupid as in libel, threaten, or otherwise harm someone.
That we don't do, nor will we do.
You will probably be terminated upon filing such a lawsuit.
Before you ask, the mere filing of a lawsuit offers you no employment protection.
Assuming your employer isn't stupid, they'd probably just terminate you without giving you a reason.
No, an employer need not say why you are terminated.
The employer can simply say, we no lounger require your services, goodbye.
Those are some of your choices.
If you disagree with what we have said, or feel you aren't being told what you want to hear, you are free to ignore us.
Furthermore, you are free to leave the site forever.
We won't chase after you, or send you texts or emails demanding you to agree with us.
From what I see, many have tried to assist you.
People don't always agree, but no one has been disagreeable.
On that note, I bid you farewell.
Good luck!!!
