Gold's Gym In Sandy
Wouldn't allow me to cancel my account, and sent it to collections for 3300 dollars for me and 2 other people

Last year me and my 2 room mates decided we might need to get back in shape, my one room mate decides to go talk to a golds gym rep about getting a "family plan" so we can all go to the gym, they say yeah thats a good idea and he proceeds to call me and my other room mate to come meet him there to sign papers and stuff, so I show up with my other room mate and hear this sales persons pitch and he states very clearly, yeah if at any time you guys wanna cancel you just have to provide a 100 dollar cancellation fee, well my other 2 room mates did not have the initial startup money to activate the account, but i did, I said ok ill pay to get it started for us and they would pay me back the amount, which they did.

Now I was under the impression that the others there would be liable for their own payments... What really happened was when i agreed to pay the startup fee they set me as the "Dad" meaning I was financially responsible for all three accounts.

This was never my intent, I tried to cancel a couple months into it and they proceeded to tell me that I needed to be living 30 miles from the nearest golds gym in order to cancel... WTH is that about, if i want to cancel something shouldnt i be able to cancel it without having to move to some backwoods out in the middle of nowhere hovel? There isnt a place in Utah that I could have moved that would have been 30 miles from a golds gym... I constantly bugged them about cancelling my account and they kept telling me no... And they were automatically taking the payments out each month without me knowingly consenting to that.

So i started stopping the payments... They got mad, now it is 2009 and I am fighting with URG over a 3300 dollar collection... I just want this crap to be over with but I dont feel I should be liable for 3300 dollars for a service I used for maybe 2 months... Help
