Please respond ASAP cause the first payment is due on the 28th of this month. Appreciate any ideas, offers and advice.<< ===============================================

With due respect, your "idiot husband" could not execute and sign a valid contract without YOU also voluntarily signing that very same contract too. If you are lawfully married and he signed a contract without you, then you can challenge the validity of that contract (and win) but you will likely need an attorney to represent you to do so.

Your reference to "last week" is not sufficiently specific. By law, you have 7 days (in Florida) to rescind (cancel) that contract. Sundays don't count, Saturdays do. I'm not certain how holidays are regarded under Florida law, but holidays MIGHT (repeat MIGHT) not count in the 7 days. If you are still within that time period, follow the cancellation instructions printed right on the contract, as they must be, by law. Phone calls and emails are NOT legally adequate substitutes for following EXACTLY the cancellation instructions on the contract --- your cancellation must be in writing, sent by mail, and it must be POSTMARKED within the 7 day rescission period provided by law (time deadlines vary from state to state, but it's 7 days for Florida). With no disrespect intended, those cancellation instructions were already provided --- printed right there on the back of the contract (including on the day when signed). If the contract wasn't even reviewed within a whole WEEK after signing it, and the cancellation deadline has now already passed, there is really no one else to blame at this juncture. Good luck.
