Legal Question in Consumer Law in California

Contract Law

Dear Attorney,

I have a question regarding a contract, which is as below:

I signed a three year contract with a fitness center.

The sales person at the fitness center told me that I can cancel the membership within one month and no questions asked.

Within three weeks I told them to cancel my membership. They told me that my membership cannot be cancelled as I did not satisfy one of the requirement to cancel the contract.

The salesman lied to me about the cancellation terms and conditions.

I submitted an application for cancellation, for which they did not respond.

Few weeks back I received a letter from an another company saying, that they bought my membership/contract from the fitness center, and I have to pay them.

Please let me know what is the right thing to do.

Thank you for your time and advice

Sincerely,

-kris

Re: Contract Law

The right thing to do is to READ the %$%# contracts that you sign, because nothing the salesman told you is legally binding, only what's in the written contract.
