[quote=Anonymous]I think you need to look at the policy regarding your obligations when it came to unenrolling in order to even get an idea as to what your legal obligations are.  Were you required to give a 30 day or two week notice?  Did you do those things?  Are there policies about paying even if you don't attend?  Was the daycare completely shut down?  Also, read those portions of your contract that relate to collection of outstanding balances - there could be upcharges of interest, court costs, attorney's fees, etc., which can multiply any balance owed.

It's hard to say when these actions are going to reach any kind of resolution given the status of the courts.  But, I can assure you that once an issue reaches a debt collector, the original debtor has probably washed its hands of the debt and the debt collector is likely to be like a dog with a bone.  This could follow you for years if the original debtor sold off the debt.  That being said, once you figure out if you owe anything and how much that is, you can probably make a deal.  [/quote]
