Q: I was wondering if we sign a contract for 5 years of services after 3 months ask to cancel do still pay the rest??
Had it canceled the first year and now they want the rest of it.
A: An attorney would have to actually review the contract you signed to accurately answer this question. In general, many service contracts for a number of years have conditions that say you cannot cancel early, or if you do cancel early there is a penalty of some sort. Most likely you do owe them something because you cancelled early. Whether or not you owe for the entire remaining 5 years depends upon the terms of the contract you signed, and how/why you cancelled. Some service contracts provide that if if you cancel because of circumstances out of your control (for example: you have a local gym membership and your job transfers you to a different state where they don't have a gym location), there is no penalty and they will let you out of the rest of the contract. You should take the contract you signed and the documents/letters they sent alleging that you owe all of the balance to a local attorney for a specific opinion.
A: It would depend on the terms of the contract. Review the sections of the contract about cancellation or termination. Good luck
