I asked the seller to pro rate waht was left on existing memeberships and deduct from the selling price.

Unfortunately she was a cheap witch and decided to screw her customers
She deleted all outstanding packages and sessions,When the customers came back in,they were like"what happened to my membership?"I explained to them how the business was transferred and how the previous owner deleted there memberships.They were angry! Some of them were her friends too.

I didn't give them her number,but I told them where she was working now.Most of them collected from her and came back as customers.

Thats why you don't "buy" and existing business.Do an asset purchase and form your own corporation.
