Discount Calling Rate

My fiance was fired by Wilson’s Leather after they claimed an audit revealed that he was giving to many discounts to customers. Upon being fired, $400 was taken out of his paycheck after he admitted he gave discounts. Now, three months later, he gets a call from someone saying he owes Wilson’s Leather restitution in the amount of $12,000 and they gave him a file number and said they would send him the paperwork. I don’t understand why this is happening, he didn’t steal anything and it’s not like he was standing at the door giving leather jackets away for free. He was a manager and he gave discounts for damaged merchandise and to meet competitor’s prices. They told him when he started that he as the manager had the right to give discounts where he saw it fit. Apparently they have evidence of multiple transactions for less than the ticket price-but why didn’t they step in right away and give him a warning? Why watch it all add up and then demand restitution? Advice? Can we fight this??
