My question involves a consumer law issue in the State of: New York
So 7 months ago I signed a contract for fitness sessions. The person training me was a friend who worked for the owner. Went in for a free consult and I liked it so I told him id like to do a month and then go from there. He said thats fine and I can sign up. So when I was filling out the contract. There was a section where you put your name and the length agreement for how long and I put down for 1 month. Then I signed the contract and left fully believing I had signed on for a month plus 30 day notice of cancellation. The owner was there and and filled out his part and signed it. So I go for a month fully believing I signed a one month. When I try to cancel he says that the contracts are for 6 months. I get infuriated and leave. My friend who was training me apologized and said he too believed that I was signing up for a month. At the time I was dealing with many health issues and school so I had no money to contact a lawyer. My health started to deteriorate so I forgot about trying to fight this. Now recently I look at a statement and he I'm still being charged monthly. I took a look at the original contract that I signed thats in his possesion and he wrote over what I put down as the length agreement and said there is nothing I can do and that regardless of what I put down the contract length was different but hadn't told me at the time. I fully believed I was signing up for something different other than what he was signing me up for. I just don't understand how if I put something down in contract and signed it believing that was the agreement that he could change it without me knowing and continue to charge me.
