| In a Cast, Out of a "Gym" Pass! |
| My niece, a college student, signed a contract with a health club in Dothan, Alabama. She has 8 months left on the contract under which she pays $40 a month to use the facilities at the club. She was recently hurt in a car accident and had to move back to her parents house in North Carolina as she can not take care of herself while recovering from the accident. The health club insists she has to pay the remaining 8 months even though she is not living in the same state. Is there anything she can do to get out of this contract? |

| I purchased a new car and needed a person to cosign for me. My name was on the top and my cosigner''s name was on the bottom. I had a falling out with my cosigner and he took my car. However, I have been responsible for paying for the car every month. I guess my question is can this person just take my car because they no longer want me to have it? Also, do I still have to pay the car note if I no longer have the car in my posession? |
