Bonds may be a contract but just leave when you want to, in general your going to go overseas anyway so tell them to shove it! I left one about 9 years ago and told them to shove it saved 10k. If companies are starting to really try and get these bonds back I would like to hear which ones, you can P.M me if you like my brother is a lawyer that would love to know, he reckons the companies dont have a leg to stand on!
