From the beginning of the contract signing problems began. Things like, ASF was unable to process my debit card for the EFT. So, they set up a manual billing and they tack on an additional $20 monthly fee. After three attempts to resolve with ASF and the person at Triple Boxing, I gave up on trying to get the EFT started.
Five months into the contract, I contracted a fungal and bacterial skin infection. Do not know where it came from other than maybe from the gym or a participant. It took three months to get over. I had a doctor's letter stating that both infections were contagious and not to utilize their facilities to avoid transmission to others.
I tried multiple times to cancel this contract to due this illness. It was a losing battle since it was not a permanent disability. It did not matter that I was contagious and having to pay for doctor visits and medication to treat these illnesses..."they want their money regardless". After 7 months I stopped paying them.
Finally, I no longer received any calls or mail from them and I assumed (bad mistake) they were not going to make me continue to pay the last 5 monthly fees. About a year later, I get a letter from a collection agency.
I have learned my lesson. And to others, be sure to read the contract throughly. If you are 18 years old like I was, let your parents read it. Once you sign the contract, you have 7 days (I think) to cancel it. After that, it is black and white and they will turn you over to a collection agency without any remorse to your problems.
