Signed a Contract for $17000 worth of work, delivery slow, late, terrible quality - Can I get out of it?

[Andy Bell]

Hi Everyone,

So I am going to post this here since this may be a stupid question and I may not even be able to get out of this contract so would be a waste of time to get a lawyer.

Basically i signed a contract for web design work and article writing. It was at a big innitial payment for the site then 6 payments per month at half the rate. I paid the first of 6 months. The contractor delivered a really shoddy website I could of bought on fiverr for $100 and then some one star articles the next month. I tried to contact him and say I don't want to continue but he says I have to keep paying him since I signed on for 6 months.

Now a few things to note.
1. I signed the contract but used a business name that isnt registered, ...my name is nowhere on the contract just the non registered company name above my signature.
2. I am Canadian, live in Mexico and the contract is for a UK company
3. The contractor delivered the 2nd months work 2 months late, aka nothing was done for 2 months... so maybe its a material breach of contract

Anyway I feel like im screwed here but if anyone thinks different and its worth getting a lawyer let me know, interesting to get some other fellow entrepreneurs opinions.

Cheers!
