My name is A, and I currently work as an Aircraft Maintenance Technician at Ethiopian Airlines. Alongside my main job, I also do side work in areas like solar installation, equipment sales, and technical maintenance. Because of this, I regularly receive payments from different clients through my personal bank account. At the time, I usually confirm when I receive the money, but I don’t issue formal receipts, and after some time it becomes difficult to remember exactly what each payment was for. Right now, I’m facing a civil claim about a specific amount that was sent to my account, and I honestly don’t recognize the transaction immediately. I want to make it clear that I have always acted in good faith, with no intention of doing anything wrong, and I believed all the money I received was for legitimate work I was doing. Since I don’t have formal receipts for these transactions, I’m not sure how best to defend myself. I would really appreciate guidance on how I can explain it.
