Do I just keep ignoring the company?

Just my educated opinion.....\n\nCredit card company will generally come after you for debts over $1000 if they have contacts in your state.  That makes it easier for them to appear and court and sue you. Otherwise, the cost is too high.  So your $5000 debt makes you a prime target.\n\nI'm fairly certain that if they don't come after you, you can expect a collection agency to do it.  Either way, I'd say a lawsuit is a very real possiblilty.\n\nI don't think the SOL will help you.  The CA will certainly know when it expires and will step up collection efforts before that happens.\n\nSo my suggestion is to first look at your budget.  I'm sure that if you take a serious look at it, and cut out unnecessary expenses, you can find $100 a month.  You need to negotiate a payment plan with them, so don't insult them by offering $50 a month.  They are not going to wait several years to get paid, and if you don't offer something reasonable they will sue you.  Even $100 a month is will not go over well with them, but it's a start.\n\nIn the link below are a few sample letters you can use to form a negotiation letter.  Try that out and see what happens.  \n\nOne last piece of advice....it's a certainty that they have placed a negative item on your credit report.  Get them to remove this item IN WRITING before you pay them a dime.  It's my opinion that a judgement is just as bad as a default, and both will hurt your credit score.  But If they want their money, make them fix your credit.  Otherwise, you will have bad credit, plus you will be broke!  This is very important if you plan to get credit within the next few years for a car or home.  If that's not going to be an issue, the bad credit won't matter, as it will gradually improve after a few years.

Nope, that's just business. And its bad customer service. \n\nCancel your order. Time to find a new company to deal with.  \n\nThank goodness you didn't already pay for it.

Take your loss adn move on. Whatever your suing for will cost you more money in small claims court than you can get out of a company that went bankrupt. sorry

If this is true, why don't you get some more employees with you and sue the company ? Their must be someone to whom you can carry your grievances and get help. Keep smiling, this is not the end of the world, all the best

Are you quite well?\n\nIf you dealt with a firm and they made you wait too long / let them down, why in creation did you decided to do business with them again.\n\nThey can only keep taking your cash as long as you are daft enough to keep sending it to them. Sorry to be blunt, but learn from your errors.

In my opinion you should continue in the same company after getting conformation. Just for the sake of little amount never ever leave your present company in short continuances. This is a bad practice and would spoil your carrier.

Same thing happened to me - 3 years at a company that closed and cannot get ahold of any ex-fellow employees.  I did have contact with the owner, but he as been MIA for over a year.  \n\nI use people that knew me from companies I delt with such as suppliers and customers.  Contact someone you feel comfortable with and ask for a reference.  They may have to check with their HR departments about this, but it's worth the effort.

Probably not, unless they can't find you.  You could always say you gave notice.  In my experience big companies don't always keep the best records.  \n\nGood luck, that will teach you to give notice.

contact the company you worked for--they should be helpful

You could threaten to report their company to the Better Business Bureau.  Figure out exactly what you want as compensation first, then call them back.  Companies hate to be reported to the BBB and they may negotiate with you. Good luck!

Nothing, now. I have spoken up in the past and all that happened was trouble for me, even to the point of losing a job. Its a myth that you can speak up about these things and the company can't touch you. If they want you gone, they will find a way.

Call the owner or manager and tell on the rep. This is highly un-ethical. \n\nSee what you can do to do business with other suppliers.\n\nDon't share customer names when you're getting quotes.

Nope sry hun! Try your local BBB (Better Business Board) for refferals and complaints! :) GL

OK, so first off, I don't think this company is your ideal home.  From here, it's hard to see why, but clearly things aren't working out.  Time to look elsewhere for work?  Yeah.\n\nBut before you go, let's get all we can out of this learning experience.  And, treat the remainder of your time there as nothing more than that.  You're now there to figure out what's up with these demotions.  Three possibilities come to mind, and whichever is true, learning more about it will help you in the future:\n1. You may have found a company with a 'sick' corporate culture.  The general atmosphere may be 'cutthroat' or just dysfunctional.  If that's true, it will be wise to recognize it, and learn how to pick up on those signals so that you don't hook up with another company that's just as bad.  Most companies are not that way, but I've worked for a couple that had some real issues!\n2. It is possible that there is something YOU are doing to rub people the wrong way.  It could be something as simple as combing your hair the wrong way, but whatever it is, figure it out before you leave.  That way, if its something that you're willing to change, it might help you develop a better working relationship in your next job.\n3. You might have just found that you're not ideally suited for this industry.  Perhaps there is something about you and retail that just don't mesh perfectly.  Again, if this is true, it should redirect your next job search into a different industry.  I can tell you that there are some industries that I'm just not as good at as others.  Focus on the things you do best, not the things that aren't your strength.\n\nOne other things strikes me.  You mentioned sending out resumes and thinking about grad school, and that you thought this might have affected your career prospects.  I'm puzzled about this.  How would they have known about these things?  If you were just chattering about it in conversation, I think this could indeed have sabotaged your prospects.  These are things that typically we don't talk about at work.  If nothing else, it can make the people who STAY feel somewhat demeaned, especially if you act like you're going somewhere better, or that you think you're too good to stay working there with them.  The point is, at some point, if you take a new job, you'll have to spread the news, but if you aren't really going, it's just demoralizing to be talking about going somewhere better all the time.\n\nAnyway, regardless of any of this, YES, it's time to look elsewhere.  Go somewhere that they'll value your ability.  Clearly, you're not getting a good connection where you are.\n\nBest of luck to you.

Business speak is sooo amusing.  Like they really think people are up at night worrying over the company.  Well, anyway, these are good answers: they show that you are concerned to be of value to the company.  You're there 2 months, he's there 2 days, and he wants to know things about the company that keeps you up at night?  Besides him?  Oy....

If it's something that can't be proven by continuing to do your work and be ignored, then I would ask to speak to your immediate supervisor and explain the situation and that you are worried it will affect the company and ask for their advice. That way, they know you are aware of it, that it is untrue, and that you are concerned about how it makes the company look.
