Q: Rejected for work permits because of one FEB comment?
I found out that my old university in China posted some negative comment on my FEB immigration file when I left last year. I thought everything was fine and we communicated as I left. I even got my apartment deposit back after leaving. Yet now, I got rejected for two different work permits - one then the second. They finally told me my last university, in Hefei, had posted something bad about me when they cancelled my work permit last year. Now, I can never get approved for another work permit again. I had no idea. And I contacted all my old bosses but they won't respond! I can't believe they would do this so coldly and not even tell me or tell me why. Does anyone know a good lawyer that can help? Or have you experienced this? I am not blacklisted, and my record shows I have done nothing illegal. Yet the FEB won't say what the negative filing says. I can't believe it.

If your country's passport changes the passport number when you renew the passport, you can try to apply for a new passport and get a new number with it and apply for another job but this time around don't give a history about where you used to work. Your information might come up again, but it's worth a try if you want to continue working here. Just leave it off your résumé..
Like some of already told you lawyers even sit down with one cost you over 5000 RMB. If you're going to try to fix this, you need to fix it with FEB directly, and try to prove your case. Only the person behind the desk can fix this for you.. try to bring a Chinese friend and politely talk about this issue and it might do wonders for your situation, but given the time you have on a visa to stay in this country, you probably are already on the outside looking in.
If you're married here and you're on the Q visa just keep trying to talk to the office fix whatever happened. At the same time try the passport trick. If you are going to go through with the passport idea, then I would suggest getting a new Chinese visa for staying in China like a tourist visa or family visa, then switch to a working visa. That way the new passport already has a history of a visa that's been turned into a working visa. Meaning that this would be a clean history and no history of your previous passport number would need to be involved but if there's a visa that you're using now in the old passport, of course it'll be tied to the transfer of a working permit and working visa best to start clean.

Passport change might work, but what about the same name on the new passport?
I've always had a doubt at passport change 'cause the name remains the same.
I've never tried that though, because I've never had a similar troubles ... and in my country, you can't just change a passport on the whim. It must be damaged, lost/stolen or near the expiration date, so change is warranted.
At my time in China, I've contacted FEB often and I've always encounter Chinese FEB agents with fluent English ... FEB on the provincial level, thou.
However, I was residing in China.
It might be difficult to contact FEB from outside of China. In that example, Chinese friend living in China could do a wonders, but it's still not a simple task ... at contacting and get reply from the FEB.
Lawyer? You ought to be kidding ...
Even if you'll win the dispute, you won't get a new job in China, which pays more than 1000 - 1200 EUR per month ... and prepare to shell out 1000 EUR at the minimum, so Chinese lawyer will say "Good morning!" to you.
ROI (Return on Investment) is utmost important in Stock market trading world ... 
Get a lawyer outside of China and if she/he will accept the case ( ... which I doubt!), you might have a slight chance.
Good luck!
it is not worth working in China any more.
so many reasons.
there are plenty of ofher countries that need english teachers.
good luck
