The Problem

Miguel signed up for a gym membership advertised at €29/month. After 6 months, he discovered €180 in hidden fees: "administration fee," "card replacement," and "maintenance contribution" that were buried in fine print.

Started with AnyComplaint

Miguel explained the situation. Our AI identified this as a case of unfair contract terms and hidden fees.

Were these additional fees clearly explained before you signed the contract?

This may constitute an unfair commercial practice. Under DL 446/85, contract terms that were not properly communicated can be void. Hidden fees that significantly increase the cost are particularly problematic.

Ils ont essayé de se cacher derrière les petits caractères, mais la loi portugaise protège les consommateurs de ces astuces. J'ai récupéré chaque euro.
