Contracts can be sent to collection agencies... I once got sent to a collection agency on a gym contract. Had to hire a lawyer to get rid of it.

The guy broke a contract; this is a FACT. But you people don't care about facts. Oh well, I'll go back to my VERY EXPENSIVE kitchen. We will see what the lawyer says, but I can see either me having a case, or the company having to force the contract (retro) on every person who ever broke it. (Which I have proof that they haven't as of yet) I'm sure that will fix their recruitment problems once that hits the streets. |
I do find it ironic how there is such a stigma about defaulting on your mortgage, bills etc. You will fall into financial ruin and your friends will look down on you and cry "shame." But when a company like AA declares bankruptcy (even with 4 billion in the bank) it is heralded as a "brilliant business move."

I wish you luck . Even an affordable lawyer charges around $250 an hour with no guarantees of ever winning .Add into that posibly being seen by any future employers that you broke a written contract and even filed suit . Whatever you do I wish it all works out for you .
But what I do know is that others who come after you will with eyes open sign training contracts for the lull of flying a jet . |

Something somewhere has to give. Loan companies giving out $100,000 or more (private loans) for people to "become pilots". They'll do it if they think they can make a buck on it. When someone defaults, it shakes the entire chain and makes them go back and think that "maybe it's not such a great idea to aimlessly give out money for a job that can't really pay it back". |

You can't be serious. Not that I owe you anything but I come from a military family some of whom are part of a union. And as a citizen of the United States I'm given one vote to use as I see fit, and so are you. One vote regardless of class or status. I'm on a trip but I'm looking forward to getting back to my small poor kitchen because that's where my family is and THAT is all that really matters. Turbo, Good luck with your situation. |

I don't think it can go directly to collections... It's a training contract, not a recurring bill (like a gym membership).. It can eventually go to collections, but only after it proceeds through the proper channels, IE:court. Then it's up to the judge how to proceed with the transfer of money...
I have been told by a union rep that the CPZ contract was unenforcable as Minnessota was a "right to work" state, though I have never verified that claim. I do know they, CPZ, haven't enforced it on people in the past for leaving early and if they started enforcing it now on someone who left I would start collecting names of people who left and weren't asked to pay and get a lawyer and fight it from that angle. That being said they asked for a year commitment and I would/did honor that and wouldn't really consider breaking that commitment unless there were highly unusual circumstances. |
