Hello FICO forums!
A quick question for you credit pros out there. I have a CA account for just over 7,000 dollars from a company by the name of "N.A.R. INC" in Salt Lake City utah.
They are trying to collect on a false "Company Relocation Contract Early Termination" from my previous employeer.
To make a long story short:
- I sent an E-Mail to my supervisor saying I wished to meet with him to put in an offical "2 weeks notice" before the end of my relocation contract. I had a job offer from another company that included payment of my previous relocation expenses.
- I worked the night shift, and as soon as my supervisor came in that morning, I was escorted out of the building and terminated. No 2 weeks, I never had the chance to put in my 2 weeks notice, and never formaly terminated my employment.
- I received an E-Mail that morning from my future employeer recending the job offer, so I would have never put in an offical termination of employment anyways.
- I was escorted out of the building, and because of this, applied for unemployment through the state of UT. They did an investigation and found that my termination was through no fault of my own. I want to re-iterate that I never FORMALY or INFORMALY terminated employment, just requested a meeting with my supervisor to discuss the matter.
Well, now they sent this bill to a CA and I am wondering how I can go about fighting it? I sent a DV letter certified mail about 3 weeks ago and still have had no response.
Where do I go from here? Do I call the CA? If they come back saying that I willfully terminated my employment (Which their "Proof" if you can call it that was a meeting request E-Mail) what do I do?
Thanks again!
I thought I would share my story with everyone..
I decided before lawyering up to really digg deep into google for anything that happened like this before. I found case-law pertaining to whom is liable if an employer terminates your employment in UT after you put in your 2 weeks.
The case is here: http://www.utcourts.gov/opinions/mds/hughes011509.pdf
I called up the CA and told them that according to this case, they had no legal right to collect on this. They requested the case number and less than 1 week later I got this response:
"To Whom It May Concern:

So another one bites the dust! 13 derogs just 1 month ago.. Down to 9, with only one not paid in full. That should fall off this month, and this should be deleted soon.
Thanks again to everyone on this forum!
What would we do without Google?
I love it when the little guy wins!
Congrats!
