Hi there
A quick question. I signed a years contract in a gym last january (yes one of those people!!) and pay by direct debit each month. i havent used it in about 2 motnhs now so i rang the gym yesterday and asked was there anyway out of this. I was told by the reception person that the rules had chancged and I was no longer tied into the 12 months and that i could come down and sign the contract and with one extra direct debit taken it would be efectively cancelled.
Had an email from the gym manager saying that he coudnt cancel my membership until the 12 months were up and to reinstate my direct debit with the bank if I had cancelled it. So i have expalined to him what happened and am awaitintg his response.
I know that initially i signed the 12 month contract and had they told me yesterday i had to stick by it then I would accept that and put on my tracsuit once or twce a week but now that i was told I could cancel, i dont want to. If I was to cancel my direct debit what could they do?
