If you have seen out the three year contract that you had, and fulfilled the cirteria for cancelling the membership, then no, they cannot sue you.
If, however, you are still bound by the terms of the contract and have simply cancelled the direct debit, then yes, I'm afraid they can take legal action against you to recover the outstanding amoun that you would have paid.

If you have finished the three year membership and haven't signed a new contract it is illegal for them to threaten you. If they are i advise you to sue them for harassment but if you haven't finish the membership, you can't cancel unless you pay the gym the specific amount of money they want.

What did the contract say about cancelling? Is there a fee for cancelling? Did you give them due notice? There are so many things that could change whether it is legal or not!

Yes they can the best thing would be to write them a letter saying that you're leaving the country and that you are never coming back close your account and open up another one with another branch any letters hey send, send them back as no longer at this address. What a friend of mine did and got away clean took a little effort but she's in no trouble

yes it is legal but I am guessing that for 3 years membership this would cost you £1500 roughly, do you pay by direct debit, if so stop the DD, to take you to court and take legal action would actually cost the gym more than £1500, so can't see that they would actually bother.

Unfortunately, it is legal for them to do that. That's why you signed a contract. Some gym's will let you sell your contract to another person though. Maybe you can give that a try.

If it was part of the agreement to have a3yr yr contract, and you had to have it for these 3 years before you could cancel then yes.. and next time listen and read.

Gyms make a load of money out of signing up people for long periods.
I suspect they have got you stitched up with a watertight contract.
See the citizens advice bureau, who will read the contract and tell you if you have a get out.

Did you check the small print before you signed? I would take legal advice as you might not have any option but to honour the contract.

you should bypass the position there is no longer a Ballys withing 25 miles of the address. Its in the settlement. college excuse received't help. possibly in case you had a medical situation with a doctor note to help it (that you likely dont have and a doctor wont write). so basically you should provide it for your sister.
