I think what you mean is that the contract would be unenforceable. That has slightly different consequences. If the person stopped paying for the contract then the service provider would not be able to take legal action to enforce the contract. BUT, as you say, proving that would be very difficult.
On the other forum, the consensus seems to be that a proper assessment of the person needs to take place, establishing whether the person is capable of making their own decisions. This would mean that someone else could legally make decisions on their part and they could be monitored very closely. Once this has been proved then write to the service provider with the documentation (allowing the provider to talk to the guardian/carer) and asking for a way forward.
