Mr Leon,Mr Qorax and other Seniors -Need your advice please.,

I have joined a Gym and signed a contract for one year but now due to Medical Reasons i cannot continue and wanted to cancel the contract.

I try to cancel by showing them the letter issued to me by a specialist Doctor but they refuse to cancel the contract unless I pay the penalty of

$ 300. So what is my remedy because I am unable to perform the contract due to impossibility of performance which in English Law that is British Law,

it is known as Doctrine of Frustration and in this case the promisor is excused by Law to perform the contract. And it is not a breach of Contract.

Seniors Advice is needed.

You need to pay the penalty if you don't want your credit score to be negatively affected. (If your credit score is affected, this could create problems later getting a credit card, load, mortgage, cell phone contract, etc.)

If you really want to get out of paying the $300 without having your credit score affected, then you'll need to get a lawyer involved. That's going to cost you way more than $300.

Thank you syclla for your advice.

If that Gym is big brand , then write to there Director or chairmen.
Send copy of your docs. Once you take any issue to high level then they try to sort out matter in favour of customer.
