Hi there,

I trust you all are well.

I have a dispute on a matter that should have been resolved years ago when I left the City of Joburg. After attending the Zone Fitness Gym at Southdale Mall, Joburg while I was on a 12-month internship just up the road at a shopfitting company in Robertsham, I had to leave since my internship program ceased with no permanent employment to even continue residing in Joburg.

Since realising afterwards I was misinformed about the minimum term contract offered, apparently 2 years, I am contesting the 1 year that I didnt attend due to relocating forcefully. My contract was the period: [protected]. My Internship was the period: 1 Mar 2017-28 Feb 2018. The sales agent who actually found my details from a prior cancelled attempt at signing, assured me to not worry about the terms and never walked the cancellation part with me since I was open about me leaving at the end of one year.

To my surprise, I get a call this week about Zone Fitness. It’s now been 3 years since I left Joburg and now I have to deal with this unethical attempt at extorting money from me for a 1 year period that clearly was impossible for me to use at their gym in Southdale. How can this be lawful?

Its tough as it is getting employment, and currently I am employed at a decent post only the 2nd time since interning in Joburg.

Now, with a good credit score and no judgements, I am faced with this from Zone Fitness Accounts. Surely, this can’t be permitted. If so, I am forced with obliging.

Has nobody sued this company yet?
