Validity of Out-of-State Cancellation Fee

Q. I was misled in the signing of a contract by an

out of state business. They said that the contract

contained a cancelation fee which I did not read,

my fault. Question: Am I responsible in Fla to

pay this fee to a Ca. company? I thought this was

against Fla Law?

A. The answer depends on whether or not you were

solicited over the phone and how long you took to

cancel. In any event, if there was fraud, then you

would have the right to cancel this transaction and

the canc. fee would not be upheld in court..
