Debt free

A man sought our help when he was contacted by a collections agency many years after receiving funding from Second Career – a program now operated by the Ministry of Labour, Training and Skills Development. He was told he had to repay the $28,000 he had received through the program – plus interest – because he had failed to submit certain receipts almost a decade earlier. He disputed this, noting that he had previously submitted the receipts but no longer had access to them. After our staff intervened, Second Career was able to confirm the man’s previous studies and reduced his debt to zero.
