Well it would probably depend who you borrowed it from but if you stop paying, they will most likely take you to court and all will be decided there.

Well, you can work for cash all you want.  One time I accidentally checked the box that said I was ineligible for vacation pay and I got my vacation pay and my full unemployment benefits anyway and they never caught that.

Probably have to pay out the contract...I did.

You did work, they gave you a check.  Sounds like you each lived up to your side of the bargain.\n\nYou initially thought about leaving for a reason.  If that reason did not go away, then you really should consider moving on.  Their support of you during your difficulties shouldnt factor in very much.  If the company was having difficulties I'm sure they wouldnt expect you to stick around if they couldnt pay you.

I think they can sue you...but only if you aren't making any payments...\nsend the collection agency $50 a month, or a little more if you can spare it...it will keep them from being able to sue you

If you make over $650 for the year, it will be reported to the IRS for tax purposes. Which can result in you paying back your unemployment, maybe being penalized.\n\nIf less than $650 the earnings will not be reported & you'll be fine.

Do both - Take them to a smalls claims tribunal and expose them via newspapers and internet sites!!!\nYou earned that money, so they should pay you regardless of the length of your employment!! NAME & SHAME THEM i say!!!!!

Check with a lawyer for Colorado-specific laws, but no, it should not be legal. Your paycheck is money you earned for things you ALREADY did, since it's issued after every two weeks (or however long, point being, its after the hours you worked). Therefore, they have no right to not pay you for what you already did.

Of course you can be sued.\n\nIt may not make sense for them to sue you - unless they wanted you paying at a nominal rate for years - but yet - nothing to stopyou being sued just because you are unemployed.

yes as long as you dont owe them money

Seriously.  None.  In the end he will be told to give you one half of what ever he got.  I have seen this happen many times.  I work for an attorney.  If your not close to trial then not much is going to happen.  Even then you will just have to get compensated.

ring up your local CAB. I got £250, and I had only been there for 6 months so I got one weeks pay. admittedly I had to take tax and national insurance off that, but they regretted not giving me notice.\nbut it wasn't about revenge, its about the fact that you gotta earn a living. give it a go. good luck!

Yes.\n\nAnd morally, since you know you still owe them the money on a contract that they upheld their end of, you should bring it to their attention, pay it off, and stop trying to be a thief.

If you paid for the item then it is yours.  You can actually write it off of your income taxes as an "Unreimbursed Employment Expense."  Although, your employer and his lawyer must have a good reason to think it is not yours.  Otherwise, they wouldn't even bother with court.

I doubt there are too many lawyers on here and the labor laws vary from state to state. the best idea is for you to contact the labor board in your area and explain the scenario to them. You said you were on a probation period, yet not on the payroll??? Were you  working for free??? If he paid you any wages during this time and did not take out taxes, nor report this to the State, he is also in violation of several laws concerning taxes and such. If he paid you wages and you have proof of that, you can take that down to the unemployment office.Good luck. Hope you find a better job, he sounds like a creep anyways.
