Cashed buyout of contract check but won't cancel membership

I joined Better Bodies Fitness in Aurora, Colorado in January.in November I moved about 10 miles away to Denver. I called National Fitness Financial (the collection agency for Better Bodies) and was told I could cancel my membership if I paid a cancelation fee of $100.

I sent the check along with a letter stating what the money was for and my membership number and they cashed the check. Meanwhile, a representative of National Fitness called and said I needed to send documentation of my move proving that I moved. I said that I was not told about any of this. I was told to send $100 and that would take care of everything.

The representative then asked me how far away I moved. So I gave her my new address and she said that I had not moved far enough away. I needed to move at least 25 miles away for them to void my contract.

I then proceeded to explain that since they cashed the check they had agreed to void the contract since I had stated what the purpose of the check was. I do not send checks to them ever. I am set up on an automatic withdrawal from my checking account. So I am waiting to see if they continue debiting my account. If they do I am thinking of taking it to small claims court because I am furious.
