I signed a 12-month commitment to Coaching with Southwestern Consulting without realizing it was a 12-month contract. I've had a change of job and medical bills that have made it difficult to continue. They are asking for the remaining payment or for me to finish my coaching. I don't have the money and am wondering if there is a way out of my agreement. What state are you in? What steps have you taken so far? How does billing work?

At a public meeting held by the planning board in my township concerning plans for a large worship center by ISKCON, a member of ISKCON was allowed to speak for 45 minutes about the tenets of his faith instead of discussing traffic concerns, which made me feel uncomfortable and offended.

We have a service agreement with a company that services our entryway mats. We found a cheaper alternative and gave the current company 60 days notice to terminate the agreement. They have invoiced us for 50% of what they would have made for the remainder of the agreement, stating they are 'entitled' to it. The agreement was signed by someone unauthorized and is no longer with our company. Are we liable for the $12,000 they invoiced us for, or do we have legal options to vacate the agreement?
