What to do if my tanning salon is closing and I have a pre-paid membership?
I have a prepaid membership to a tanning place that has 2 locations 10 minutes apart from each other in different cities.The location I have the membership to is closing at the end of the month (15 days) and they are going to charge me for continued use at the other location since I did not give them 30 days notice of cancellation. Can they legally force the auto payment at the end of the month even though they only provided 15 days notice to me they are closing?

Whether or not the tanning place can charge you legally for continued use of the membership if it is closing one location where there is another location in another city depends upon what your membership contract states. The contract sets forth the obligations owed to you by the tanning salon and vice versa. If the contract is solely for the one location that is closing, then legally you have the right to stop payment for the membership without recourse.
