Hello,
I'm not sure if this is the correct category but I would like to ask about a legal advice. I have terminated a training course after a few months but the institute wants me to pay a full years fee. There is nothing explicitly written in the agreement form about going on paying after early termination. I have also spoken to a former member who cancelled after one workshop and who said she didn't have to pay more than the first monthly instalment.
Do I have to go on paying?
Here is an excerpt from the agreement form:
"I realise that I am responsible for the training fees and membership fees for this training year and that not paying them will jeopardise my place on my course. I understand that training fees and membership fees become due as soon as I attend a workshop.
If I find that I am unable to pay all or part of my training fees for this year I will immediately contact my course convenor and agree a new payment plan. This payment plan must be confirmed by an email from my course convenor or the office administrator. If I stop paying and do not contact my course convenor, or I renege on any new payment plan agreed then:
I will receive two requests for payment (these may be verbal, by text or by email).
I will receive a final request for payment by letter or email.
Following this, if I have not recommenced paying my fees - either as the original monthly payments or on a payment plan agreed with my course convenor and confirmed in writing - then I realise I will no longer be able to attend workshops. This means that to complete my training I will have to make up the training hours and I will have to pay extra for them.
I understand that I cannot complete my training course with monies owing to x. I understand that if I leave my course with monies owing to x, I will be pursued for those monies (this may include legal action on x part)."
I'm grateful for every answer!
