'Sorry, that's not my problem': Company attempts to charge former employee for credit card ‘late fees’, end up spending $1000 in billable hours instead

When you quit, you essentially leave all your problems with that company behind. But what happens when your past catches up with you, and suddenly you are slapped with a fine you shouldn't have to pay?

This person received a furious email from the former company he worked at, which read that he had to pay a certain amount that had piled up on an old credit card he'd had while being employed there. The thing was, the person had already cut it up — one year ago. So what was going on? It was a fair question. Apparently, the card had not been canceled, but that wasn't really OP's problem… It was theirs.

So, OP ended up costing them a whopping $1,000. How? Scroll down to find out. Maybe next time the company will take a second to look internally, instead of reaching out to former employees who have nothing to do with card cancellations. Up next is a hilarious bunch of work memes to laugh at while you are on lunch break.
