Mine started as soon as I started my residency.

For sure. The things that I saw and had to deal with mentally and emotionally scarred me. I told my parents if they ever get sick, don’t go to a HCA hospital

I’ve sent the two lawyers I’ve talked with the letter they sent me stating I owed money and what the contract said. The first lawyer basically was like there’s nothing I can do, you signed the contract and it’ll cost you more to fight it then suck it up and pay it. The second one that said it was illegal because it’s considered a penalty fee that he could fight it, but it would cost like 1200-2000 and he couldn’t guarantee that I still wouldn’t have to pay it so he recommended I reached out to them on my own and tell them that it’s illegal but I can’t mention his name because I’m not paying him to represent me.

Yes LOL. My bad I was half asleep when I was typing.

Ugh. HCA is horrible. I don’t regret quitting at all. If I have to pay, I will but I’d rather not. I’ve had different lawyers tell me different things so im conflicted on what to do. I feel like everyone has had a different experience when it comes to paying HCA back. I’ve read that sometimes nothing ever comes if you refuse to pay but I’ve also read they’ll sue. Hopefully it’s the latter for me.

Ugh. How did they reach out to them or how did they find out they were getting sued?

It was for two years and I only lasted a little over a year. It just says that if I break it I’m supposed to pay them back the prorated amount.

I broke my HCA residency contract after working there for a little over a year. Two months later I received a letter from the Benefit Recovery Group saying I owed them money. I reached out to different lawyers and basically got answers from all of them. One said there's nothing I can do but I could try to negotiate. Another said that because I never received the 10,000 that HCA values their training at the money I owe them is " a training fee acts as a penalty and under Texas law, it's not enforceable". So I emailed them a response with what the second lawyer said and never heard back. Today I got the same letter again stating I owed money, so I sent them the same email. Does anyone have an experience with not paying them back? When I quit I knew I'd have to pay and I was okay with that, but I'd rather not if I don't have to. Will they eventually just drop it or will they send my debt to collections?

I also quit an HCA Texas hospital after a year and two months. About two months after I quit I got a letter saying that I owe them like 4500 which is the prorated amount. I reached out to a lawyer and he said “training fee acts as a penalty and under Texas law, it's not enforceable”. About two months later I received the exact same letter stating that I owed the same amount, so I sent them the same email again. anyone have an experience with them eventually dropping it or has anyone had them make a lawsuit or send the debt to collections?
