I joined Bally's on April 18 in the Rockville, MD Club. I had explained to the Sales Person, Lloyd that I was from New Mexico and on a temporary contract for several months.
I told him of my concerns about their being a problem canceling my membership. He directed me to section 7 of the contract, which states that if you move further than 25 miles from an authorized club that you may cancel upon relocation.
He said there definitely would not be a problem because all I need to due is tell them that I relocated back home since there are no Bally Clubs in New Mexico.
I sent them a Drivers License with an issue date prior to joining, which was rejected and a current phone bill that was also rejected, see attached letters. Now they wish a letter from my previous employer stating that I'm not longer working in that area.
According to the contract I owe them one more proof such as a bank statement or Credit Card statement. I will send them the additional material but when I spoke with them on the phone they told me a current utility bill would be sufficient. I believe it's quite apparent that I'm no longer in Washington Metropolitan area but they insist on making it difficult. This whole process has been going on for about 2 months and I have not used their club in over 3 months.
I look at it this way, I was honest when I joined the club and told them I was temporary and that I lived in New Mexico. They recognize that I'm no longer in the area and yet they try to string the process out.
I had my Credit Card company intervene on my behalf and they have stopped payment. Now they are theartening my Credit.
I've seen numerous complaints on the Internet dating as far back as 1994. The FTC has over 700 complaints filed.
I will join any Class Action Suit brought against Bally's. They've also ripped off my niece. I believe a Class Action Suit is necessary to stop this behavior.
