It's written in their handbook that termination happens when you quit. The only reason they could come after you would be for unpaid loan(s).The gag requirement sounds manipulative on their part when it is your legal right to walk away.
That is most certainly not correct! DRI will not let anyone just walk away. They will continue to bill maintenance fees, and interest on unpaid balances. They will report you to credit agencies if you do not pay. They won't let me quit. That's not in my contract. I can't walk away. I would gladly do so because they have raised the fees so high that it is not a good value any more. I asked them to let me go and the answer was no.
