Chinanews client, Beijing, September 2 (Zuo Yuqing) After a thunderstorm at an off-campus training institution, how difficult is it to defend rights?

  Secretly made business changes, ran away without warning, and left phone calls unanswered... Recently, the Beijing Xinnuo Children's English thunderstorm caused the parents of rights defenders to be miserable.

No warning before the boss ran away

  For the teachers and parents who are attending classes at Xinnuo, Xinnuo's thunder has no signs.

  "Before the July vacation was notified, we were still in normal classes and paid." said Wu Yu, who teaches at Xinnuo. "When a colleague returned to the campus during the vacation to pick up things, I found that the campus was still undergoing renovations for the resumption of classes. There was even Teachers in some campuses conducted training on the 20th."

  "As a result, an online meeting was suddenly held on the 23rd, saying that social security did not have money to pay, wages did not have money to start, and classes did not go." Wu Yu told Chinanews.com, because all the persons in charge announced their resignation, and the rights protection teachers wanted to leave. When arbitrating and defending rights, I don’t even know whose name and contact information should be filled in.

  The parent, Ms. Li, said that about a month ago, Xinnuo had been encouraging parents to renew the tuition. “Now most parents are owed 10,000-30,000 yuan in tuition.” According to statistics from the parents’ WeChat group, only Xinnuo At the Tongzhou campus, hundreds of students were owed tuition fees, amounting to millions of yuan.

  At present, many campuses of Xinnuo have been closed, APP can no longer be logged in, and its Haidian branch is in the process of simple logout.

Business changes were made in advance

  In the eyes of the teachers and parents, Xinnuo, which is "normally operating", has actually secretly made changes in industry and commerce.

  Tianyan check showed that on August 20, Beijing Xinnuo Sunshine International Culture Communication Co., Ltd. changed its legal person. The legal representative was changed from Yang Lijuan (Ouyang Lijuan) to Xiong Changming, and the registered address was changed from Chaoyang District to Haidian District; on the 21st; , Yang Lijuan, Wu Jieting and other responsible persons withdrew from the main staff.

Sky Eye Check showed that on August 20, Xinnuo Children's English had a business change.

  In the eyes of the parents, Xinnuo's run was more premeditated.

"If the company may fail due to poor management, the person in charge must be clear. In this case, continuing to push the class is almost like a fraud." Ms. Li thinks.

  Some parents inquired that the new legal representative Xiong Changming was uncle Yang Lijuan, and he was very old. Many parents questioned whether he could perform his legal personality.

"We are all worried that Yang Lijuan is transferring assets. I heard that Xinnuo is preparing to file for bankruptcy and liquidation in September." Ms. Li said.

The address and phone number after the business change is fake

  "The address after the business change is fake, and the phone number is also fake." A rights activist parent told Chinanews.com that he followed the changed address to find it. The result was a kindergarten called "Happy Angel International Kindergarten".

However, Chinanews.com dialed the phone number left by Ouyang Shaojun, the principal of the Tongzhou campus, and it showed that it was a fresh fruit supermarket.

  Chinanews noticed that on August 24, Xinnuo Kids English changed its registered address again.

Some parents said that the address is still a fake address.

On August 24, Xinnuo Kids English changed its registered address again.

  Xinnuo frequently changes its registered address, which also affects the rights protection of parents.

"If the changed address is inconsistent with the address where the lawsuit is filed, the case cannot be filed." Some parents filed a complaint with the relevant department of Chaoyang, where Xinnuo was originally registered, but were told that because the industrial and commercial changes have been made, the rights protection needs to be carried out in Haidian District.

Can the boss be exempted if he doesn't make a representative appointment?

  In response to the concerns of parents, a lawyer told Chinanews.com that the company was filed for bankruptcy due to debt. Even if the legal representative is changed, the original legal representative may still be liable.

Therefore, it will not have a substantial impact on the rights and interests of employees and parents.

  “If the organization knows that it is not capable of performing the training contract, and uses illegal possession as the purpose of tricking parents into signing a contract, and the amount exceeds 20,000 yuan, it may constitute the crime of contract fraud in Article 224 of the Criminal Law.” The lawyer said.

  It is reported that under the coordination of relevant departments, Yang Lijuan, who was once "lost" finally showed up and discussed with her parents.

"She said that she didn't have the money to refund the fee. Now, the total refund owed to the parents is more than 10 million." Ms. Li expressed her doubts to Chinanews.com, "Where did the money we just paid?"

  Although parents have made initial progress in the rights protection of Xinnuo, their worries about off-campus training institutions are far from over.

"If the change of legal person is so smooth, the application for bankruptcy is so smooth, and similar institutions are like this, will more and more parents find it difficult to defend their rights? In the case of a large number of complaints, can off-campus training institutions be restricted from making changes in industry and commerce?"

  According to Tianyan Check data, since July 26, more than 14,000 companies nationwide with "education and training" in their names or business scopes have undergone legal person changes, and more than 2,000 companies have gone through bankruptcy and liquidation.

  "Don't dare to report training classes to your children at will." A parent said.

  In response to the difficulty of refunding fees for education and training institutions, Hu Yanpin, the first-level inspector of the Education Supervision Bureau of the Ministry of Education, said on the 30th that relevant departments will be urged to accelerate the supervision of third-party funds to prevent the difficulty of refunding fees and the runaway of institutional funds. The problem of difficulty in refunding fees will be supervised in accordance with the principle of territorial management. (over)
