If you leave Swift before a year do you have to pay back the entire balance?

    So things came up and I have quit Swift my latest pay stub says that they have taken $3,700 for school in total. If I recall, the school is $3,900 correct? So since I have quit without completing the one year do I owe them the full amount of for school or do I just owe them $200 which is the remaining balance?

    Whew. A recruiter told me I would owe the entire balance if I left before the year was up.

    No idea. But I'm sure it's the same as every other Swift drivers contract when they complete their training through their school

    Right, why would you read a contract before signing it. That's just stupid.

    Just like when the mortgage crisis people losing their homes crying they didn't know their mortgage was an adjustable rate.

    He gave you an honest answer. Too many people getting their faweeeelings hurt nowadays. Honestly I could care less how someone judges me big whoop. Especially on the internets
