Legal Question in Consumer Law in Georgia

I am cancelling a month-to-month gym membership which only requires a 30 day written notice. I sent an email indicating my intent to do so. They emailed me back indicating that it must me done in person or by utilizing certified mail. Since they acknowledged receiving my email, wouldn't that serve as written notice?

You can be foolish and assert that position, or you can be intelligent and remember that contracts mean exactly what they say. Email is NOT notice if the contract specifies a means of notice. So your email notice is worthless. I would not use in person as that cannot be proven. Use certified mail and keep a copy of the letter and return card for a minimum of 10 years after you send it.
