[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You pretty much just have to pay, OP, or face a costly legal process.  I was in a similar situation two summers ago, only the reason we backed out of the preschool was that my daughter was diagnosed with autism 3 months before school started so she went into the school system instead.  We still had to pay the $9000 we had promised the private preschool.  Believe me, that one hurt![/quote]

If you didn't fight it, how do you know it would be costly. If the school pursues it, I'd represent myself and make them fight it before I'd just hand the money over. [/quote]

Not PP but I think she was referring in general to the fact that it is very often costly to defend a lawsuit, particularly with respect to a relatively low amount in controversy.  Frankly, it is often more costly to go without a lawyer.  I've litigated against unrepresented defendants, and even those who are intelligent and sophisticated often miss potential defenses and other things that can be used as leverage to negotiate a lower settlement.

No one would hire a lawyer over 7 grand would they? I was just saying before she just pays the money, why not argue it first? She has nothing more to lose than the money she already owes. Would any good lawyer even accept a case this small?[/quote]
