What is the name of your state?OR
i'm an independent contractor in the bankcard industry. After working for a company for a period of about 1 yr, felt the need to change companies but still in the same industry. Talked to sales manager and was told that i had a non-compete for 4yrs, but said it was okay if i wanted to seek work elsewhere, that no where else would i give me an opportunity due to not enough experience. Now that i have and doing better, all of a sudden i get harass and threats of legal action. They have also stop paying me for residuals i have earned.
I've ask for the signed contract i signed with them, but haven't gotten one. I have a copy of a blank one but what if changes were made, how do i know if this is what i signed?
I was also told by other independent reps that Oregon law say you can't stop someone from earning a living.
What are my options? Any advice would be great, thanks.
