Hello everyone. Long story short, I’m leaving Switzerland permanently at short notice. I’ve de-registered and returned my permit. In January, I gave notice to my gym I would not be extending my annual membership which runs March to March (did not know at that time I would be leaving Switzerland, I was simply going to switch gym). In the contract there is a 3 month notice period, so the membership was automatically renewed as I would have had to give notice in December. Now, given that I will be leaving the country, whether I intended to return to the gym or not, I simply cannot use the service. I have given proof of my exit, however, they are determined to receive the annual membership fee and will not terminate the contract. Anyone faced anything similar? In my opinion it is unfair to force an annual fee when I leave due to unexpected circumstances and cannot avail of the service they are charging me. If I do not pay, they will like enforce debt collection, at which point I will be in another country. submitted by /u/31AndAPatchyBeard
