Jason Carter signed up for a free 7-day trial fitness club membership on 9-29. After some negotiation, numerous promises and missed appointments he finally showed on 2-14 to sign an agreement and pre-pay for a 1-year membership. The manager agreed to let him split the fee into two payments with the first payment being delayed to 2-25 and the second one scheduled for 3-11.
On 2-21, after the 3-day buyer's remorse period had passed and just before his first payment was to be collected, Jason called to cancel his membership. Rather than pushing for payment of the entire amount, the manager compromised with collecting payment for February (first month of membership) and March (the 30-day cancellation notice period).
On 3-14 I received a notice of chargeback from the credit card company (Visa pulled the payment from the business and refunded to the consumer).
