get a call from some law-firm in Los Angeles this morning talking about I owe money to a training company when I went up for a job at Cadillac.

the total was $400 and change for the course but I only paid half up front.
long story short I didn't get the job.
I tried getting in contact with the training company but never did, and I even went as far as to go to my bank to try to stop payment for the first $200. which I didn't get back.

I signed a "contract" saying that I owed the full amount due, but in that same contract stated that If I wasn't hired by Cadillac it would be the training companies responsibility to find me a job placement with another company.

my question is what's the worse that could happen if I don't pay anything period?

I know a bit more on criminal rather than civil issues, but if you signed a contract, it's an open and shut case on their end. They can win the case and then if you don't pay, they can get a collection agency to handle the collection. And if you don't pay the collection agency, they'll report it to the big three, Experian, TransUnion, Equifax, and it will be a negative credit report. It would be hard for you to win a formal complaint about the negative credit report. Your credit would be boned permanently.

Can you just pay and settle out of court? That would be easiest.

I don't know what financial state you are in but 200 bucks to wipe it clean is totally worth it imo. Also not doing anything is the dumbest thing you can do. Your credit and record will get fukked.

Yea it's a no-brainer. It'd cost more than $200 to even *ask* an attorney what to do.
