How has no one else said this
Are you so fucking poor that you need to commit forgery/fraud/some illegal act to save $280?
It's the principal of the thing that I literally am not allowed to cancel, which is BS. Also, I have a cheaper option that has come up, so I'd be much happier having that $280 for something else...like food or whatever.
But yes, agreed I should have read the contract (again, IF it actually said the whole year thing on it...seems quite shady with the whole November 15 thing....which I have asked this woman about in an e-mail).
In any case, thinking about this...I'm going to see what she says about the contract, but I'm now leaning towards just paying it and making sure I use the facilities, canceling once it officially runs out.
You are right that this is a lesson-learning opportunity. Forging documents is probably not a good idea. I read up about this company, and I guess other people have had various issues trying to cancel their membership as well.
It seems that this is a scheme many gyms employ in order to make their revenues look good...if someone wants to quit, make it a pain in the ass for them to do so......which I don't like.
Oh well, lesson learned I suppose. I'm quite interested to see what this accounts manager replies with, though.
