Solicitor for Consumer Rights Law in B’Kara

I joined a gym in Sliema on what I thought was a monthly rolling membership, but three months in I found out the contract actually locks me in for 24 months with a heavy exit fee. Nobody explained this clearly when I signed up at the front desk. Can I get out of it?

I cancelled a monthly subscription box service based in Malta through their app three months ago, and I even received a cancellation confirmation email at the time, but they have continued charging my card every month since. Support keeps saying my cancellation ‘didn’t go through’ on their end.

I rented an apartment in Sliema for two years and moved out leaving it in reasonable condition, but the landlord is refusing to return my deposit, listing normal scuff marks and a slightly faded curtain as ‘damage’. Is this something the Consumer Claims Tribunal can even help with, or is this a different process entirely?

I had dinner with friends at a restaurant in St Julian’s and when the bill came, there was an automatic 10 percent service charge added that was never mentioned on the menu or when we ordered. Are restaurants allowed to just add this without telling customers beforehand?

I bought a used car from a dealer in Birkirkara and within a week the engine started making a loud knocking noise. A mechanic told me it needs major work. The dealer says used cars are sold as-is and won’t help. Is that actually true under Maltese law?

I signed up for a holiday timeshare package at a presentation in Malta four days ago and paid an initial deposit. I have since read the contract properly and want out. The salesperson is now saying deposits are non-refundable regardless of timing. Is that enforceable?

I was browsing an electronics website registered in Malta and the listed price for a television was clearly shown as one figure, but at checkout it charged me a higher amount and only afterwards did I notice the difference on my bank statement. I only realised a few days later. Can I demand the lower price or a refund of the difference?

I bought a sofa from a Maltese furniture website two weeks ago and paid in full. It has not been delivered yet but I changed my mind and want to cancel the order. The company is saying that because it was custom-coloured, cancellation is not possible. Is that legal?
