My 4.5 year old started swimming lessons beginning of September, he really enjoyed it at first then after a while he started to dislike it because he didn’t like wearing the goggles and he didn’t enjoy learning to swim after a few months I had to keep nagging and persuading him to go. He started to hate his lessons and even cried a lot of times but I still persevered as I wanted him to learn.
In the end I decided it was not for him and I could no longer force him, I paid for the Autumn term till Xmas 23. He only went to 2 lessons and didn’t go for the rest of the term as I couldn’t get him to go.
So I get a invoice from his swimming company saying I need to pay for the next term, and I obviously haven’t paid because I didn’t intend on continuing and I said I want to cancel it because my son hasn’t been enjoying it (they know this too) because they’ve helped me get him in the pool.
They then told me I needed to give them a 4 week notice to cancel so I need to forward them £52 or DS can continue coming in for 4 more weeks! Although he can’t because he’s frightened and doesn’t want to swim!
I didn’t know about the 4 week notice as it’s not even a direct debit you just send money to their account.
I can’t be sending someone money for no reason in a cost of living crisis!
I’ve already wasted so much money with the previous term where he didn’t go in.
AMIBU??
