When my husband and I move to LA, i was'nt working so I decided to find a way to loose some weight. Then I saw the add for Bally with 2 weeks free trial, so I went to BTF and I spoke to one of their employee. He was a Nigerian and since I'm also from Africa he said he was going to make a me deal, which is I can pay $ 25 and me and my husband can use the gym for a month. I agreed and when it came to the time of payment I did't have enough cash on me so I gave him my credit Card.
He came back with a lot of paper work and I said this all for one month and he said yes for insurance and security reasons. And I told him I might not need the entire month because I will be going to Florida. I went to the gym 2 times with a personal trainer and after the two free sections he asked me if i would like to sign up for additional lessons, and I told him no due to palpataions my doctor has ask me to cool things of. That was the last time i was in that gym.
Anyways, about 5 months later, I got a letter from bally claiming they have'nt been able deduct payments from my credit card for the past 2 months (I lost my credit card and have gotten a replacement). I thought what? Why will they be taking money from my credit card? So I called them and they said I had signed up for 3 years with their gym.
I went back to the gym and demanded to talk to the guy who signed me up but the manager told me he is at a diffren gym. And the manager also told me I should hve send the a written request for cancellation. I told him I'm willing to let what ever they have taking from my account go I just want the contract cancelled. Hed said to sent them a written request allong with a doctors note. Three times my doctor sent the note but they claim they didn't get it. The last one I dropt it at front desk my self and I took this girls name.
I didn't hear from them for a while, I moved to New York and I got a call from this office claiming they collection agency and I told him my story and hang up the phone.
Now in philadelphia last week i recieved a call from my bank that my money has been frozen. I called the collecting agency and they said it is from bally. This is joint account for my husband and i.
Please I need help. I need a lawyer who will help me put a stop this company and thier scams.
