Thank you. You have not answer what I asked though… what compensation/percentage could I ask for?

Did the unlawful deduction of wages lead to you missing payments for rent/mortgage, any direct debits etc?

If you then received any late payment penalties you would request that these as compensation from the employer.

Thank you. I didn’t miss any payments, just, as I have a large overdraft facility but this went further down. I imagine I can request compensation towards these fees?

Yes that would be reasonable to propose to the employer.
