I see. This is such a sad situation for which there is no cooling off period. I realize they use high pressure sales tactics, but the state and federal government have not yet passed laws allowing you to think about it and rescind the contract. Such laws only apply to door to door sales in NY and some timeshare contracts.

Since you went to their place of business, you do not have the ability to terminate the contract unless there is language in the contract itself allowing you to do so.

However, due to your age and the high pressure nature of the sales tactics, I would still contact them an inform them that you are terminating the contract. If they resist, file a complaint with the BBB and the state consumer protection agency.

If they care at all about their reputation, they will want to resolve the matter in your favor to remove the negative reports from their record. Another option is to retain an attorney to draft a demand letter that they allow you to rescind the contract under the circumstances.

Please let me know if you need additional information.


Best regards to you,

TG
