I entered into a twelve month contract with a well known Gym. Given that it was a 12 month contract I did not read the T&C’s and just signed assuming I would be able to leave anytime after 12 months had passed. Having spent 15 months with the company, last month I decided to leave and cancel the contract ‘at the bank’ by stopping the direct debit payments. Then I get a phone call informing me I was not allowed do this and was referred to a section of the contract as follows:
I entered into a twelve month minimum contract in which I was allowed exit only after TEN months by giving two months notice on the tenth month. Otherwise after 12 months the contract will roll on a month to month basis and that hereafter I am required to give 60 days notice in writing to cancel my membership. I acted on the premise that it is my God given right to cancel any contract I have entered on contract expiry but these people are now telling me I owe them money!
I know I deserve a kick in the nuts for not reading the contract initially but my instinct is telling me that these people are acting outside of contract procedure.
Does anybody have any advice on this?
