Member Solutions On Behalf Of US Tae Kwon Do College Holding 5 year old to 1 year contract Jenkintown Pennsylvania
Recently after 1 year of Tae Kwon Do, my son (5 years old) decided he wanted to try another year. We really didn't have the money to pay all in advance so we opted for the 1 year payment plan which would allow us to pay for the class in installments. We did sign a contract and realized that we were doing so, however we did not realize that out son really was not interested in taking further classes. After a month, maybe two into the contract our son just has no interest in going anymore. After several attempts to get out of the contract I am writing this complaint in complete dissatisfaction with the holder of the contract and the Tae Kwon Do School. We have been told that we must continue to pay 100.00 dollars for the remainder of the contract, about 8 mos. or so. I am not asking for the money we have spent to be refunded, I am event willing the pay Member Solutions the money they make off of the contract I just dont feel that we should have to continue to pay for a service that we are not going to use, a service that was provided for a 5 year old child. Be warned if your child is considering taking up this sport, I think it is a bit ridiculous to hold us to this contract. I have contacted the U.S. Tae Kwon Do College and they also say there is nothing they can do, however they want my son to come test for his next level belt even though he has not been to class. By the way, it cost $45.00 to test.

My kid has been in TKD and we have used Memeber Solutiions for almost 10 years. Maybe twice, I've created problems by changing credit cards or changing the dates on which I wanted auto-billing charged.
In every case, the staff was extraordinary in accommodating me and doing whatever necessary to bend the rules to my individual circumstance.
As with any contract, once you sign it, both aprties are expected to fufill their obligations. Those who don't pay are considered deadbeats in my neck of the woods.
Member Solutions loaned you something around ~ $1,000 and forwarded it to the Do Jang. 'same as if you borrowed $800,000 for a house or $40,000 for a car from a bank. The lender is entitled to reimbursement for the length of the loan contract, whether the car got stolen, you abandoned the house or your kid decided to take up basket weaving.
The issue is betwwen you, who is the one trying to breach the contract, and the Do Jang, who actually received the cash up front. I'd suggest that you either work with the Do Jang for a refund or find someone who woudl like to take over your contract and reimburse you month-to-month.
GGGGGGGGG (jeeeez), no business could stay in business if contracts were subject to personal whim.

First of all, the Tae Kwon Do school is not holding your 5 yr. old to a 1 yr. contract (which would be illegal). They are holding you to a 1 yr. contract, which you admit you knowingly signed. You correctly state that the issue is that your son has now decided he is not interested in Tae Kwon Do. Why should that be the school's problem? The contract was an agreement to pay for one year's worth of lessons. Of course it's the college's option to let you out of the contract, but you certainly have no right to be let off the hook. You state that you think it's a bit ridiculous to be held to the contract. I don't know why. The whole purpose of the contract was to provide lessons at a given price for a specified term.
