Going Back

He has a cdl, so has to list employment for the last 10 years.
When the company he applies with, contacts WX for job verification, the new company will be told, "He's under contract with us until his debt is paid off and if you hire him we will sue you."

 

How would that hold up in court? Is it written in the contract that he can't work anywhere else? Because if it isn't then it's a baseless threat trying to promote fear but would lose in court everytime

 

I don't know, but it's been tried before. I think after 7 years it's turned over to a collection agency.
I don't know because I've never been involved with that.

 

This is what I would do. It's $900 dollars. Find out who you have to pay it to and get it done since you have the money. Then you can check out some companies Chinatown listed along with other ones that have training programs.
Thankfully you hung on to your CDL. I've done the same thing even though I haven't used it. I have no plans on letting it go.
Hopefully there hasn't been interest charged on that amount. If so fight that by offering to pay it all at once. I'd be contacting WE asap.

Good luck

 

I’d be willing to bet you could get hired without WX being called. I would not be giving them $900.
