well he met them and they asked him about the incident.they gave him the option of being fired or to resign.he resigned.hopefully that will make it easier to move on and to sign on and talk to mortgage people for the moment.they didnt have a solicitor either.he agreed to pay back the full amount.hopefully when he does the guards will not go further.please god they wont.he has to live with the shame of it now and has to lie to friends and family that he was just laid off.thanks everyone for the advice.i hope it wont go further once he pays it off as soon as possible.
Just a thought legoman..........when he goes to sign on... if he has resigned he may not get paid for 9 weeks. I know it's the last thing he needs to hear right now. Just thought I might mention it as he may need to consider how he will explain his situation to Social Welfare. He can go to the HSE I think and they will help him until his Social Welfare payments start.
