Hi, my friend and I signed up at Bally's Total Fitness for two years. John, the manager, signed us up as a 'two for one' which was a special co-sponsored by Discovery Health. He verbally explained everyhting to us. He was late for a Super Bowl Party and rushed us through everything. I stupidly, I mean STUPIDLY, signed the contract only to find out later it was only for one person. My friend was given only a 10 day pass. Bally's was to deduct monthly payments from my account. My friend went in to get her permanent card and they did not have her on file. John says we were suppose to return within 10 days to put a second deposit down (?????) We had returned twice in those ten days to work out seeing him each time. He never mentioned anything about more money. We were told in the beginning everything would be auto deducted from my bank account.
Now I am stuck with a membership that I don't want; alone- we signed up together because neither of us wanted to work out alone. My questions are:
1. He verbally explained the contract to which we noth agreed, I then signed this written which turned out to be very different. Any recourse on the verbal part?
2. I'm now stuck with a $1600 bill. Can I legally request half from my friend? She hasn't offered, I've been afraid to ask.
Thank you
