So, my relative was given a vacation membership long ago. That membership should cost initially to buy in, but she was given for free. She only need to pay annual fee. Seem like good deal.

Now she is trying to give that membership away for free because she doesn’t like travelling to that place anymore, and don’t want to pay fee.

So i wonder, why just not cancel it. Stop paying to let it cancel by itself like your netflix account.

    She probably has a contract. you can not just stop paying things because you don’t like it anymore, you have to follow the terms of that contract. Otherwise every payment you skipp is a debt to the other party and hey can sue you for breaking the contract and for backpay of the payments you skipped.

    In your example with netflix, the contract you enter into when signing up for their service specifically states, that you can leave it monthly and Netflix lets you do that by not paying anymore.

    This is part of Netflix’s concept as a service provider and doesn’t mean its the same in other services.
