Ripoff Martial Arts Contracts

Jul 5th, 2010 by HateCheeters in Service Ripoffs

I originally signed a 6 mo contract for my child to learn martial arts.

When the 6 mo was up I re upped for another 6 mo. When the last 6 mo was over my child did not want to continue with the classes. When I talked to the billing office because I was still getting charged for a monthly fee even though my child stopped going. I was informed that I had signed my child up 3 yrs of lessons for $3,800!

When I renewd the contract the instructor explained what I was getting and to signed and date the bottom of the contract. Since classes were starting he told me he would finsh the paper work and mail me my copy of the contract.

Needless to say, when I recieved the contract in the mail I didn’t read it. The instructor and I verbally went over the terms and the program has a good rep so I foolishly assumed that something like this would not happen.

When I called the owner of the school he said the only way to break the contract was if we were moving far from the school or my child became physically diabled. So now I pay $148/mo for classes my child doesn’t take anymore and I have at least 1 1/2 yrs to keep paying. I’ve tried everything possible.

Is there someone else who has had the same experience and had a sucessful outcome?
