I'll admit he has let himself go a little since retirement, but surely he'd still scare any agency into paying up?

Oh, well done .

Now..would you like and award for that? Hey?

Pz out, im out

I can't see that there is any debt to pay. You signed up to a real rip off contract that looks almost impossible to fulfil and the business model seems to be for you to fail and pay them money IMO.

Anyway.... first and final fail....



The contract is worthless seems you were not 18. I can't see how you are going to get a penny back based on this. By the same token I would have thought they can't hold you liable for anything either but it seems that isn't the problem here.

You signed up for something knowing there was a penalty, the something you signed up for is a rip off. You had a really bad experience midway through which you would have though they would have considered but are not legally obliged to do so and you have cost them money/revenue so they are keeping yours.

Put it down to a very good lesson in life, catch up with Uni, make sure you and your family are ok and forget it. Sounds like the last thing you need right now is the stress...

Oh and P.S. I would also keep this one to yourself for now on. Not making you look good at all if you keep telling everyone this story I am afraid.

and P.P.S not sure if you noticed but this is an IT contractor board. Apart from a few members in General we are not very experience with contract dancing for hen parties.

P.s, I don't mind sharing a story like this, I need to explain myself fully I guess, But I do see your point.

I do have to concentrate on uni, and my fathers well being.

Once again thank you

You can either put it down to experience, or if you're up for the fight, you could contact your local Citizen's Advice Bureau and make an appointment to speak to one of their legal specialists. You will get far better advice than you will from us, and it will be free advice.

Other avenues:
- ask your Student Union to put you in touch with their legal advice team.
- ask at Uni to speak to the Welfare Team and ask them for advice.
Both of those are accustomed to dealing with the sort of employment issues students have.

I will have a speak with the student union..thank you

Try your local Citizen's Advice Bureau, they will be able to take on your case and help you through explaining your rights and obligations with regards to this contract, including taking legal action if required.

You may also be able to get the local Trading Standards involved if you think the company are ripping people off or they have particularly onerous contracts.

Finally, you may want to write to Watchdog at BBC if you think the company is systematically exploiting young people as yourself.

Good luck!

You got a good point, a lot of their employees have been complaining too, I guess its not only me plainly.

But like many have been saying take this as a lesson, I sure will

Thanx
