Bounced Cheques, Incorrect P45, What to do!

I was made redundant from my job several months ago and at that time received a P45 with the final salary amount filled in on the form, however payment for that amount was in the form of 7 post dated cheques.

The current state of play is that 5 of the cheques cashed but 2 bounced and according to the bank there is no money in my previous employers account.

The company is still trading but I know not where their finances are coming from. The outstanding amounts total €1700 and obviously my P45 is incorrect by that amount.

1) What is the best way to pursue this as I feel that getting a solicitor on board will negate any return that I may get?
2) What do I do about the P45?

Regards,

Pudzer

You could try the Department of Enterprise & Employment Employment Rights Section and see what they advise. I've found them helpful in the past in apprising workers of their statutory rights.

Whatever you do about persuing the company you should contact the revenue first as you have overpaid your tax and are entitled to a refund
