Ok all. I need more advice. I decided to leave our main dojang to go to a sister school, because it is cheaper.
Anyways, I talked to the manager of the school about my situation. This time, it is truely a financial situation (I left this school before, but for a totally different reason). I told him about my lack of funds (which is true. I have 27 cents in my bank account and my credit card is maxed). And I told him that I didn't want to stop training, and I wanted to stay in the system, so I wanted to attend a sister school. Which would be easier on my budget. And I can still get my BB, ect.
Even after all that, he still wants me to buy out my contract (I have two years left on a three year contract), which would cost me $1,000. Either payments or staight up. Where am I going to get that kind of money? I truely can't afford the tuition, let alone something like that. I am currently jobless (laid off).
I told my boyfriend and he thinks somehow the last manager screwed me by charging me $145 a month for tuition when every one else (he knows, he asked around) is paying $125 or something. And he thinks that the $1000 is wrong, too.
I don't know what to do. I don't have a dime to my name, and I really wanted to train again. There is ONE way out of it, but it's kind of drastic. I can call the billing company myself and stop the payments. (My boyfriend did this before. He called them to stop payments on a credit card to switch to other, and they didn't charge him when the school wanted $25 fee for the change if they had to do it). Then change my bank account. But if I do this, I won't be able to set foot in that dojang again, therefore never see my boyfriend train/test again. And I would still be able to train at the sister school (which the instructor is my jujitsu instructor's wife), but never test. Or do the above and go elsewhere. Or work something out with this school, get a job (or wait to get called back), and continue training here.
Help?!?!?!?!
