LEGAL ADVICE NEEDED:
If I joined a gym with "Holmes Place", and signed a contract for 12 months with that company, and a couple of months later the "Holmes Place" becomes overtaken by "Virgin Active".....is there any legal way to leave the gym without facing consequences for breaching the contract on the grounds that I've signed the contract with "Holmes Place" and not with "Virgin Active"? The truth is I am unhappy with my membership, but the gym, formerly known as "Holmes Place" is notorious for charging its customers even if they stop going to the gym (f.e. if I attended the gym for 2 months, and then I stopped, they are still going to take money from my a/c by direct debit for the next 10 months, because they will say the contract was for 12 months. I can ask my bank manager to stop the direct debits, but then the gym will give my details to a debt collection agancy, as it has happened to a colleague of mine). Is there any way out of this?
